Used to be a place near me called The Flour Bin. They did a great
breakfast trade but couldn't fill the place after 11:30 a.m.

Conventional contemporary Amercian/European pastries and cakes, all

Antica Forneria (The Old Bakery)
Vecchio Fornaio (The Old Baker)

did this guy pick a name yet? just wondering.

Hello everyone!

Let me thank every one of you for coming up with so many names...I'm hoping to
complete the business plan by the middle of next year. The names that I like
so far a

1) Rustica and 2) Tazza (Italian for cup)

My mom rolled up her eyes when I said those words.. she would rather I use my
name - the whole name (first & last) or just the last name...just like those
old Italian businesses you see in the Northeast.

I can't use Finocchio because it's a vegetable. My favorite vegetable. I used
to chew on it raw (with a nice licorice hint) when I was a kid. I realize that
it's also a slang for "queer" but it depends on how you pronounce the word.

rustica sounds very good, tazza much less, it would remind those who
know italian more of a coffeee shop

Isn't that "In the Rustic Oven" or something like that?

Wouldn't "The Rustic Oven" be "Il Forno Rustico"

FWIW, I find one-name businesses to be irritating. I don't know if
"Rustica" is a bakery or a gift store - and I would be more inclined
to assume the latter. Rustica Bakery, I can identify. Sometimes I
drive by such places and never stop simply because I don't know what
they are. If it said bakery, I'd be more inclined. Don't count on
word-of-mouth to carry you through - many people are from OOT and will
never discover what you are.

Good luck - sounds wonderful.

I always thought the perfect name for a bakery would be Sweet Temptations.
Just my two cents.

Sandra

> Finocchio's Italian name for fennel and also for queer, *** etc.

Really! I didn't know that. But I do recall a nightclub here called
Finocchio's, and I believe it featured transvestite performers.

Does it HAVE to be one word?

If Manhattan can have The 2nd Avenue Deli, you should have The <fill in
street name> Bakery.

How about Pain in the Necque? (oops, I'm getting carried away)
"Oh, the Pain of it All"

"Flour Sugar Salt"

"Grandma Didn't Bake As Good As This"

When Duluth, MN, allowed pushcart vendors in Canal Park, my friend was
first in line with "Queen of Tarts" (You'd have to know Jan.) Now she
makes awesome biscotti -- the Chocolate Cherry ones are to die for!
