Our No. 3 pick this year, Weights + Measures, isn’t the only new bakery taking it beyond the basic, and the Sunbeam Bread Factory isn’t alone in filling the city’s air with yeasty awesomeness. The success of spots such as W+M and Montrose’s perpetually packed Common Bond seems to have inspired a bumper crop of bakeries with warm, casually European vibes and specialties unique to each. Here are some can’t-miss offerings:
