About a mile south of Silver Moon and its blueberry brioche, Georgia's Bake Shop beckoned on a corner. Some attempts at country charm, like the cold (and seemingly decorative) pot-belly stove up front, are belied by the blare of morning radio and by the time clock in back.
Much of the pastry case is taken up by tarts and small cakes dressed up for a fancy dinner — soup, paninis, and the like are available, too — but from the more breakfasty items I chose a chausson pomme (a half-moon apple turnover; $3). A real handful for the price, especially for a walking breakfast, though as I neared the bottom, the discrete chunks of apple gave way to a sweet jelly-donut-like goo.
