La Farine
Has Opened
in the Dimond


The new La Farine bakery (3411 Fruitvale Ave.) opened today, in the early afternoon, in the Dimond District. I cruised by shortly afterwards and took some photos. They still have work to do: a sign, some tables and chairs to install, and the whole coffee installation...but the baked goods look "impecable" as our francophile brothers and sisters would say. In visiting the store, the workers mentionned that nearly everyone who'd come in to celebrate the grand opening day talked of how excited they are about the opening. Who knows? Maybe the Dimond will become the Gourmet Ghetto of Oakland? Maybe Alice Waterswill open a restaurant in our hood? I somehow doubt it....but who knows. Enjoy the snapshots of the beautiful creations chez la Farine.

PS - le pain au chocolat (appelle le chocolatine chez eux) semble etre presque parisien!

These pictures are marvelous. Thanks. I had another sampling of a different bread tonight. Devine. It is a wonderful store with such tasty breads. What a great addition to the out neighborhood.
