One of our favorites for bread and pastries. From the Washington Post: "[Albemarle Baking Co.] turns out five kinds of bread daily, including a crusty baguette that won first place at last year's National Bread & Pastry Team Championship and would put many a Parisian baguette to shame." Located in the Main Street Market with other specialty food shops. It's worth visiting!
