Reader achenglovesfood suggested Sofra, a Middle Eastern bakery from the people behind Oleana. Other popular choices seem to be the Italian pastries on offer at Maria's, Mike's, and Modern. Maybe a pie from Petsi's? Perhaps a lemon ginger scone from Flour Bakery? Or the wife could always exercise veto power and insist on pain au chocolat from Clear Flour.
