Fine French pastries in Boise? You bet: Janjou Patisserie

Pastry chef Moshit Mizrachi-Gabbitas opened Janjou Patisserie in 2013 and it quickly became known as one of the best bakeries in the region.

She's busier than ever, trying to keep up with demands for her luscious cakes, crisp cookies, flaky croissants and sweet and savory pastries.
