The hubs and I were in Warwick the other day and found this terrific bakery tucked away in a strip mall in the Governor Francis neighborhood (named for the grandson of Brown University founder John Brown, John Brown Francis was Rhode Island’s governor from 1833 to 1838).

Le Favorite Bakery is a delightful under-the-radar spot for kicking off Fall 2023: I mean, who says you have to do all your fall fotos on the East Side of Providence or on a farm in South County?

They have also been around for 19 years which is wonderful.

And…Le Fave gets all gussied up for every season and holiday which matters not only to those of us who are forever trying to capture the perfect lifestyle photo or video but also to everyone who appreciates a little pizzazz with their cupcake and pie purchase.

Everything looked delicious the other day — we had a tough time deciding what to bring to a friend’s cookout later that afternoon.

We finally opted for some chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and a white swirl across the top (their version of the Hostess ones you probably snacked on back in the 70’s and 80’s) and a gorgeous cinnamon pound cake.

In addition to their cakes (including some absolutely gorgeous CUSTOM ones I spotted when researching them online), regulars go gaga over their dinner rolls, cookies, and traditional pastries.

For the latest from Le Favorite Bakery (ooh la la), located at 949 Namquid Drive, hop on over to their site.
