Gesine Confectionary & Gourmet Marketplace

The knockout combination of great food and celebrity clout makes a visit to Gesine a real treat (as do the divine espresso-chocolate cookies—an absolute must). Owned by the sister of Sandra Bullock, this cafŽ and bakery serves up French baked goods and artisan sandwiches with an honest smile. Within the cafŽ is an upscale country market where you can find a small selection of comfy Vermont goods alongside fancier products like specialty syrups. Drop by for lunch and order a delicious focaccia-based panini (the mozzarella, roasted red pepper, and basil drizzled with balsamic is our favorite) and finish it off with the confection of your choice.
