Alexandra's Bread has some unreal bread, but make sure to get there early! It goes fast. (You can order in advance, if you don't want to take the chance that they're out of what you want!). The Olive loaf and the Cranberry scones are unreal. The Cranberry Scones are light and moist--different than a traditional dry scone, but they're just amazing. I saw that another reviewed said to buy extra and freeze them, I might have to try that next time! Great idea! And the olive load. Whoa. It's this gorgeous baguette, with kalamata olives dotting the top. They're generous with the olives, which makes these such an awesome indulgence. Every time I'm in the neighborhood I try to get some. The regular bread (cobbles, etc.) is great too, just don't miss out on those two items. The rest of the story is kitschy and cute. Lots of oil cloth and Cape Ann type stuff.
