  "description": "North Shore Boulangerie, established in 2014 in Shorewood, WI, is renowned as one of Milwaukee's premier bakery and cafés, offering an authentic French culinary experience. Guests can savor a daily selection of exquisite desserts, fresh breakfast pastries, and a full lunch menu, complemented by coffee sourced from Paris's Cafés Richard. The boulangerie upholds traditional French techniques, evident in its slow-proofed, high-temperature baked goods.\n\nAt the heart of North Shore Boulangerie's excellence is owner and Head Baker Gene Webb, whose expertise stems from training in Paris, the French Pastry School, and an apprenticeship with Master Baker Pierre Zimmermann. Webb's unique background, including a PhD in yeast biology, informs his use of natural French levain yeast and artisan baking methods, ensuring nuanced flavors and textures. Head Chef Andrew Althoff, a Culinary Institute of America alumnus with fine-dining experience, crafts classic French lunch dishes like Soupe à l’oignon gratinée and Coq au vin, and hosts popular evening wine dinners.\n\nBeyond its café, North Shore Boulangerie provides wholesale bakery delivery to top metro area establishments, including Sendik's. Its kitchen and dining room are also available for catering services and special event rentals, making it a versatile destination for authentic French cuisine and baked goods.",
