One of my school mom friends, who just happens to be French, longed for the patisseries she missed from her home town in France, so she opened one herself! Alexandra’s authentic French bakery will transport you to your favorite French village while you sip a fabulous cappuccino and nibble on any of her amazing creations (don’t miss my favorite chocolate bread).
