Little T rules Southeast with crave-worthy baguettes, each one a crusty cylinder that’s perfectly airy and creamy throughout. It’s not surprising; owner Tim Healea was head baker at Pearl Bakery for nine years and a member of Team USA in Paris’s 2002 Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie—the World Cup of baking. The display case at Little T favors breakfast offerings like croissants, including one stuffed with house-made chocolate praline ganache, plus rustic tarts, chocolate chip cookies, and “slab bread,” a focaccia- style flatbread slathered in olive oil and sea salt.
