In a tiny old cottage on a residential street, Ponsford's Place www.ponsfordsplace.com seems like the kind of neighborhood bakery where our mothers and grandmothers bought their daily bread. Whole grain breads are made of specially milled flours (today the bread choices were rye and millet; challah was due out of the oven soon). The still-warm pastry filled with ricotta was fantastic as was the perfect little dome of a spicy dried fruit and oatmeal cookie. You can see the gorgeous looking jars of preserves (haven't tried them yet). And the proprietor will sell his flour, how great is that?!
The bakery isn't open every day as the owner does other things too like teach at a culinary school. You know the bakery is open when the Bread Man sculpture, of course made out of bread, is standing out on the sidewalk. Today it was raining so he held an umbrella and wore a poncho.
I want everyone to know about this gem of a bakery!
