Are they making bread again? I went in after the French family sold it a few years ago and they weren't making it yet. That was a huge part of the draw for that place.

And Paté de Fruit. Hopefully they're making that, too.

There was a weird transition where an annoying guy tried to turn it into a fine dining place. Now there's a nice couple making really good bread and pastries again (no pate de fruit though) feels like the original again.

So glad to hear this, I was devastated when Julianne and Didier left.

I am only familiar with the newest incarnation of Vergennes Laundry and it's wonderful. Great bread, great pastries, solid brunch, and some fun dry goods as well. I believe the new owner has roots in both France and Morocco and that shows in the menu. Highly recommended.

*pâte, silent "e"

(Pâté, said "patay", is like... the fancy liver spread. Or you can have a veg-based pâté but it's def savory)

I tried making a pâte de fruits one Christmas but the vagaries of pectin defeated me (it didn't gel up right).
