It’s finally happened! Baker extraordinaire Rachael Coyle has announced she’ll be opening up a brick and mortar bakery in Greenwood this winter, specializing in the French, British and classic American pastries that made her pop-up bakery at Book Larder over the past year so successful. Coyle is a graduate of the French Culinary Institute in New York and has worked as a pastry chef at The Herbfarm, Le Pichet and Cafe Presse. The final pop-up at Book Larder is this Saturday.
