Description

Kraftsmen Baking is nestled quietly between the Montrose library and the Black Labrador Pub. The small area offers a peaceful change of pace from the bustling surrounding areas. Chalkboard specials list the soups of the day and other featured fare. The coffee is popular, and the expertly baked bread is offered on its own or as the foundation for Kraftsmen's gourmet sandwiches. Parking can be tight, but they'll validate for the nearby garage.

Steeped in the old-world European tradition of bread-baking, the folks at KraftsMen Baking produce one of the only organic breads in the city. There's nothing light, airy or dainty about their pain biologique. It's dense and heavy, laden with lots of different kinds of seeds -- like hemp, flax, pumpkin and sunflower. A loaf costs between $4 and $6.50, depending on the size. It has an amazingly fresh taste. One drawback is that it doesn't keep very long, since it has no preservatives. But... More »
