That's my biggest gripe here.... by the time you get "fresh bakery" products, it's days old. I'd love a real bakery close by. No, Panera doesn't count. The rolls and Kaisers at Harris Teeter are better than most.
What about Wildwood Bakery or Enso's Kitchen?

Wildwood's breads are terrible, they are primarily a cake shop. Haven't tried Enso, primarily because they aren't terribly close and I don't think about them until it's too late.

They deliver. I've been wanting to try their sourdough.

Hopefully more than that.

10 miles is like a walk down the driveway around here.

I'll give my opinion on Enso's the sourdough is good, the English muffins are better and it's worth it to go on Fridays for the challah. The muffins are thick and I'm pretty sure baked instead of fried, but they have a great taste and texture.

Does it compare to San Francisco sourdough? I've heard good things about the muffins.

I like a good challah. Makes great French toast.

That's one of my most favorite things about living and working in Norway...even small villages have a bakery that puts out bread, pastries, cakes and confections that are to die for. And fresh every day.

I agree with your assessment. The sourdough is good, but not great. The muffins are awesome but I agree they are baked versus fried. I haven't tried the challah but it sounds amazing. I've got them delivered to my house and it was perfect.

I know everyone here hates when I reference NY, but I'll tell ya what... Long Island had more real Italian bakeries than you could count. There were at least 10 within 10 miles of my house, and each had something that made the drive worth it.

Like Tilda's bakery in Rocky Point. We grew up on the best Kaisers, jelly donuts and crumb cake. Come the holidays, they had the best cookies. Not quite the same these days, changed hands, but I still stop there. Last year my family mail-ordered cookies shipped to Arkansas, because there is nothing local that compares.

And the jelly donuts weren't what you would expect. They were oblong and the outside was dark in color, made with yeast, more like a paczki. Real Italian bakeries are the best...
