Mamiche is one of the new-wave Paris boulangeries that made bread cool again — a warm, friendly, hugely popular bakery (with a couple of locations) founded by two women, known for excellent sourdough, babka, and the kind of pastries people line up for on weekends. It has the energy of a neighborhood spot that happened to become a phenomenon: serious baking, zero stuffiness. The babka in particular has a devoted following.
