Bantam Bread Co. - Bantam, CT

Michael Stern



"Saturday morning, still hot from the oven: a variety of fruit tarts"

Michael Stern



"Ready to eat in the car or warm up at home, these one-person pizzas are a far cry from gloppy franchised pizza pies!"

"The woman who sold me the cow cookie warned that she had often plunged a thumb through the cow's stomach, the cookie is that fragile. I held it gingerly, but that did not prevent its instant decapitation as soon as it was set down on the car's console."
Michael Stern



"The baker shows some of his morning's work."
Michael Stern



"There's barely room for four customers inside."
