Costeaux French Bakery Awards

Costeaux French Bakery Restaurant Review:

This boulangerie sets a local gold standard for sourdough boules and pull-apart wheels, multigrain batards with hints of molasses, crusty ciabattas and the like. Indulge sweet cravings with cinnamon-honey morning buns, danishes and delightful tarts and cakes (caramel macadamia or triple chocolate mousse, for instance). An expanded dining room means that breakfast stretches all day long --- and morphs into lunch. Will it be quiche, french toast and house granola, or salads, charcuterie and French onion soup, or espresso, mimosa or wines by the glass? Well-executed sandwiches include the smoked duck on seeded sourdough, turkey-Brie-cranberry on toasted multigrain and the Monte Cristo on cinnamon-raisin toast. An ideal pit stop for wine country picnic fixings.
