About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar on the bakery counter—a loaf of bread with an extra-long crust, as if someone had drawn a mustache on it in dough. Curious, he pointed it out to the baker, who just smiled and said, 'Ah, that’s our new signature mustache loaf!' Turned out, every Wednesday they experimented with different designs. The regular laughed it off, buying the mustached bread as a keepsake.
2. One day, while picking up pastries for breakfast, a regular asked curiously: ‘Why does that lady always leave a single croissant behind when she delivers?’ With a twinkle in her eye, the delivery driver replied, 'Oh, that's because she's saving it for her own breakfast!' Turns out, Merci was such an early riser that by the time she delivered fresh pastries, she was already hungry herself.
3. A few days after moving into the neighborhood, a new resident decided to drop by Merci Boulangerie for some freshly baked goods. As she approached the counter, she noticed an unusual sight—all the croissants had tiny little hats made from pastry dough. Curious, she asked the baker why there were miniature caps on every croissant. With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, ‘Ah, those are our special “toque-bots”! They bring good luck and ensure that each croissant is perfectly baked.’ The woman smiled, took her baguette, and left, wondering if perhaps Merci Boulangerie was more magical than she’d first thought.
4. At Merci Boulangerie, a young boy entered one morning, eyes wide with wonder as he watched the baker place an unusual pastry on display—its shape shifting ever so slightly in the air. Suddenly, the pastry twitched again and took off like a little bird, flitting towards the ceiling. Everyone froze, but just as everyone was about to panic, it landed gently on top of an unsuspecting delivery driver’s hat. The whole shop burst into laughter, and from that day on, Merci Boulangerie became known for its ‘flying pastries’—not quite magical, but definitely memorable.
