There are cookies and sweets in abundance, but take a closer look at those crusty loaves. Village Bakery owner Barbara Monderine bakes more than a dozen varieties, including sourdough boules and baguettes made from a starter that she brought down from San Francisco. The shop also laminates its own dough (the technique for making croissants and other flaky pastry), a notable effort in today's purchased puff pastry era. "I bought this place for the oven," says Monderine of the French-made Pavailler deck oven she inherited when she bought the bakeshop. Yeah, we would have, too. -Jenn Garbee
