Dec. 27 A new bakery specializing in French breads and pastries, including croissants, baguettes and copious flavors of macarons, has opened in downtown Tacoma.

The bakery, an offshoot of Martinho s Sumner-based wholesale bakery AFC Desserts, soft-opened on Dec. 19, and per current COVID-19 dining regulations, is only offering items to-go. Check Unique bakery s Facebook page for updates and operating hours.
