Le Paris Artisan is another gem in the Up Bay. This cozy and little bakery spot is located in American Canyon just south of Napa.

Their almond croissants and cropuffs are my favorite treats. They also serve sandwiches and salads for lunch.

The ambiance is very clean and welcoming with free WiFi. And don't forget to grab a cup of joe from Moschetti coffee on your way out.

Meet Jay, the owner and executive pastry chef at Le Paris Artisan. He is internationally trained in countries like Japan and the Philippines. Make sure to say hi if you see him at the store.

"Up Bay Finds" is a series of posts on little known gems found in the Up Bay, a.k.a. the cities of American Canyon, Benicia, Fairfield, Mare Island and Vallejo.
