What I’d like in Ann Arbor: a good, cheap bakery

I’m really surprised we don’t yet have a good, cheap corner bakery in downtown Ann Arbor. Sure, there’s Zingerman’s but that doesn’t really count. I’m looking for something like the bakeries in Chicago’s Chinatown, or Detroit’s Mexicantown, where I paid $7.50 for this delicious box of treats:

(how much do you think that would have cost at Café Japon?)

In France, there’s a smart little bakery on every corner. Same in Germany, but they’re generally national chains with Stehplätze (standing tables) only. You can still get your sweet roll for 40 euro cents, though.

    Yeah, yeah Ben. Also, life + living may also lead to death.

    We’re pretty proud of our Dexter Bakery. Then again, with typical college student transportation, Dexter might as well be Detroit for all the times I visit without a ride from a relative.
