Le Fournil is an amazing little French bakery right under I-5 on the south side of the University bridge next to the Flower Lady. There is free parking in a tiny garage behind the bakery but be careful turning into the very dark garage as near-misses are common. The bakery has an amazing selection of beautiful and yummmmmy pastries as well as breads and cakes. They also have lunch - quiche or sandwiches. In fact, they have a lunch special that is a screaming deal...a slice of quiche or a sandwich (pate is my favorite, but their tuna salad is also excellent) on a mini-baguette plus a drink (coffee, lemonade, soda, etc.) AND a pastry under $3 (or you can pay the difference for a more spendy one) for about $6.50. It's a great deal and everything is fresh and lovely.
