To Be Frank Collingwood

Bakery$

Its Elsternwick outpost may have closed, but To Be Frank’s Collingwood flagship is still going strong – and there’s even a shiny new store in East Brunswick Village. Crowd-pleasers include baguettes, fruit loaves and focaccia – also seen in deli-style sangers – plus plenty of sweet pastries including a newly introduced triple-chocolate croissant.

Must order: The coconut dulce de leche bomb that nods to co-owner Franco Villalva’s Argentinian roots.
