La Farine opens a second shop blocks from my house!

La Farine, long recognized in the Bay Area for its fine french breads and cakes, has arrived in the Dimond District (where i live) of Oakland. I don't know the exact street address, but it's on Fruitvale Avnue, just south of MacArthur and across the street from Farmer Joe's. Their morning bun and chocolatine taste as good here as it does at their original College Ave. location. I've also tried their fig tart, which was just excellent. Those Oaklanders (yours truly included) lamenting the lack of good sources of food can now celebrate the newly developing food row on that block of Fruitvale, with the recent additions of Farmer Joe's, Pete's, and now La Farine. Hooray! http://www.lafarine.com/
