New Bakery Does One Thing Very Well

I'm not much of a bread eater, but was saying hello to Nick, of Romania Country Bread, a rustic bakery with pine facade and interior with just one product: Whole wheat, 4 lb loaves of bread. Nick kindly offered me a free loaf, which I took home to try out with some homemade soup and other goodies around the house.
Nick bakes his bread in a wood-fired oven... Yes, wood-fired! Looks like a giant bee hive. Nick sells whole loaves for $10 and half-loaves for $5.
Well, I'm on my second loaf and all I can say is... yummy! I'm really enjoying Nick's bread, and if you like unadulterated bread with some body to it, I think you will, too. Romania Country Bread is on Moncton Street near 2nd Avenue. Can't miss it. Just look for an all natural pine facade and the scent of wood smoke in the air.
