Summary

Hosted by Kerry Diamond Produced by Catherine Baker and Jenna Sadhu Edited by Jenna Sadhu Recorded at CityVox Studios Music by Tralala, “All Fired Up” If you love bakeries, no doubt you’ve heard about L’Appartement 4F, the Instagram sensation that went from at-home microbakery to a bustling spot in Brooklyn Heights with lines down the block. Fans have fallen in love with their croissants, pain au chocolat, baguettes, but also with the story of self-taught baker Gautier and school nurse Ashley Coiffard, the couple behind the creations. Ashley and Gautier, in their very first podcast appearance, talk to host Kerry Diamond about falling in love, quitting their jobs, the challenging 11-month buildout of their bakery, and how their on- and off-line communities have contributed to their success. They also share their plans to open the second floor of L’Appartement 4F as a French bistro at night. Join Radio Cherry Bombe for a live event in Sacramento with California Grown on Wednesday, March 8th. Get your tickets here. For Jubilee tickets, click here.
