Yeah I find the bakeries in my area to be excellent. Some of the cakes are truly spectacular.
The range of breads generally on offer up here though are pretty limited. And something as simple as a whole grain, wholemeal bread is considered a bit of a luxury item and generally costs a fair amount. It's almost impossible to find such breads in supermarkets or convenience stores. The local convenience store at the ski resort I work at does sell wholemeal bread twice a week but it's really only found here because of the large foreign population. Couldn't find it in other towns in the area.
