A Little Something Bakery
Park Road in West Hartford has been improving rapidly in recent years as a destination for small, local retail stores, often food-related. This good storefront bakery is new in the past year.
Nice to see this instead of a chain store. Downtown Tempe, Arizona, had a lot of quaint stores, then the chains moved in, driving the rents higher, the local shops have disappeared, and now it is too similar to what you would see at most malls and has eroded some of its charm.
You should have a look at this other "bakery", posted today too: http://parisandbeyond-genie.blogspot.com/2011/09/boulangerie-au-levain-du-marais.html They could come together on a Post under the name America vs Paris ( or something like that) :-)
I know I couldn't pass this one up! Marvelous, inviting little bakery and now I'm suddenly starving for breakfast! I wish there was A Little Something Bakery in my neighborhood!! Enjoy your day, Jack!

The name tempts me already! And I love that cute facade. Have you tried anything there??
Great store front Jack!
I love these kinds of stores and am very happy to see a increase in them...maybe if it happens in Hartford it will happen other places, too.
Can you testify to the goodness of their goods?
Oh, I hope that this shop has wonderful success. It looks welcoming and has a European air to it.
Did you stop in for a little something? I would have been tempted for sure.
Inviting storefront for customers, to be sure.

It's so cute! Of course, it really doesn't matter WHAT it looks like-- if it's a bakery, I have to go in.

The little stores like this one make the impression of any city unforgettable. Did you buy smth?
Oh I'll have a little something alright. how about a sackful of pains au chocolat for starters?

I bet many people are attracted to this shop.
That would soon entice me in. It must have been closed though - no bread in the windows.
I want to know what was inside. It is a nice photo but something about the word bakery creates the desire to know what kind of baked goods are inside.
Love the colors...how is the food? Always on the look out for good food.
I love that name! Wish more independent shops would thrive nowadays, I've always enjoyed the more unique places.
It's an inviting storefront ... very cute. I hope they succeed in these tough economic times.
Did someone say bakery?! Speaking of cakes and baked goodies, please join us tomorrow, Jack, for some birthday cake on my blog...
Such a beautiful storefront! Love it!
Sweet place! Do you get the free "Edible" magazine in Hartford? We have one called Edible Cape Cod. They are often found in a place like this.
What a lovely look! It's irresistable, I would go in.
