The first thing most people do when they walk into Mamadou’s Artisan Bakery is breathe. The scent of fresh bread is pervasive and almost intoxicating.
“People come here and they start inhaling. Customers say, ‘I wish you could make a perfume like this,’” said owner and baker Mamadou Mbaye.
Mbaye, a native of Senegal, opened Mamadou’s on Swanton Street in 2008. Since then, he has cultivated a loyal customer base, as well as local restaurant and wholesale accounts.
On an afternoon last week, Mbaye pulled rolls from the oven. They had baked together into huge golden wheels, which will be broken apart and served as rolls at Parsons Table. Mbaye also bakes bread for Black Horse Tavern.
