This cult-favorite bakery makes all handmade, naturally leavened sourdough bread and pastries that are out of this world. I buy their bread once a week and once in a while, I’ll treat myself to their ridiculously amazing almond croissant too. Everything, including the croissants and pizza dough, is made with sourdough so if you have a minor intolerance to gluten, they won’t bother your stomach at all!

If you’re searching for the best Italian market in FFC, look no further! A&S makes made-to-order Italian sandwiches, delicious pre-made Italian dishes, and offers catering as well. When we moved into our new house, a friend sent us one of their lasagne’s and I’ve been hooked ever since.

If you are looking for the happiest store in FFC, this is it. Kerri is an incredible artist and interior designer who creates bright and colorful pieces that always make me smile. Check out her Westport store and design studio for inspiration and a dose of sunshine. And see how I used her paperless wallpaper in our old playroom here.

I stumbled into this home store one day and my jaw dropped. Everything is preppy, colorful, and gorgeous.

Part garden store, part home shop, and part café, terrain is one of my favorite places in all of Fairfield County. Every product is beautifully curated and the farm-t0-table menu is always mouthwatering. Pop in for a coffee to go, lunch with a girlfriend, or a quiet dinner. It’s always packed mid-day but very slow at night so it’s not hard to get a dinner res which is my little secret!

The Westport design shop is probably the most beautiful home store I’ve ever set foot in. It’s an old house that they moved downtown and filled with homey vignettes that make me want to redesign my entire house everytime I walk in.
