I kind of laughed when I saw your post because my DH and I were just talking about how much we(I) miss the bakery dept. at all the Publix grocery stores.
We always said the bakery depts at Publix were so special because they make such a variety of pastries and cakes, etc.
When we lived in Florida we could go to Publix and get gourmet baked goods, fresh seafood and hand sliced deli meats. It is very different up here in Michigan.
