We knew we were in for something good on our next stop on the Las Olas Food Tour when we caught the aroma of freshly baked bread wafting out the doors of the Gran Forno Bakery. Specializing in artisan breads the bakers of this Ft. Lauderdale institution begin each day at 4am to produce 800 ciabatta loaves daily. The best restaurants and hotels are the customers who take pride in serving a vast selection of delicious baked goods.
In addition to their commercial customers the Gran Forno Bakery also operates a retail counter with shelves piled high with freshly baked loaves of bread. Even more tempting are the cakes, tarts, pies, cookies and cupcakes that are arranged in the display case along side croissants and muffins. One of their special breakfast treats is focaccine dolce topped with fresh berries.
And they also make sandwiches to order for those with a discriminating palate. We were each treated to an immense slice of foccacia pizza!
