Buffalo, NY has so many little gems that aren’t exactly hidden, but simply exist quietly. It’s true for people, music, and restaurants, but I’ve only found one such bakery. Chaela has been raving about the sweetness of Five Points Bakery for months. It is located in the diverse and bikeable west side of Buffalo, in a corner building that is full of light and the aroma of baking bread. They have a nifty map of where in Western NY their ingredients originate. They have a farmer that grows their wheat, which they then grind into whole grain flour. I had a delicious whole grain cinnamon roll with an iced coffee (with coffee ice cubes!). Kevin was baking Sourdough Ciabatta when I visited, and he was kind enough to let me watch. Take a look…
