Powerhouse pastry chef Joanne Chang (who paid her dues with stints at New York's Payard Pâtisserie and Mistral) runs this South End bakery, a destination since day one. Laid-back customers crowd the light, bright space all day long, chowing down on spot-on scones, absurdly fudgy brownies or textbook meringues. They snack on savories aplenty as well, including a first-rate BLT with thickly cut tomatoes and smoky-crisp bacon layered on white bread made the way white bread should be. If they still haven’t had their fill, they stock up on weekly dinner specials like rotini gone wild with butternut squash, crimini mushrooms, cauliflower, red onions, pine nuts, golden raisins and feta---flavor fireworks. And now they can check out its sibling in the Seaport District (12 Farnsworth St., Boston, 617-338-4333).
