I wanted to go ahead and check out The City Bakery because I had heard so many interesting things about it. Located in Brentwood, The City Bakery presents itself much like a cafeteria/market, with an accompanying by-the-pound-buffet and mini grocery station where one can buy such sundries as organic milk, yoghurt, and baby food. The food on the buffet does not surpass as being highly inventive, moreso on the " office catered lunch-staples" side (mac n' cheese, mixed greens, garlic toast, tofu squares), but indeed it's fresh and tasty. The pastries are limited, and the one Item that reigns supreme is their world-famous "pretzel-croissant" (a hail back to several similiar European-style breads), a combination of a pretzel and a croissant. I would recommend this spot if you want a reliable, if not overly foodie or gourmet eating experience.
Pros: location, pretzelcroissant, parking
Cons: lack of inventiveness in pastries and buffet assortment
