Award winning French pastry, amazingly delicious! A 6 minute drive away... you won’t regret it :)
From The Olympian: “Olympia’s Left Bank Pastry is beloved not just by the foodies who form a line outside the French patisserie each morning but also by Food & Wine magazine.
The magazine recently featured Left Bank on a list of the nation’s 100 top bakeries, describing it as ‘one of the finest patisseries in the Pacific Northwest’ and praising chef/owner Gary Potter’s croissants as ‘one of the best bangs for the buck we’ve found this side of the Atlantic.’”
