Franklin Street Bakery has opened their retail operation this week. It's well worth the trip. Great bread, goodies, sandwiches, coffees, truffles, etc. It's on 11th Av. and Franklin in Ventura Village.
[JM] Framklin Street Bakery is also now featuring charges of unfair labor practices in a recent union organizing campaign! Yes, folks, while they were planning for their new tasty truffles they were busy telling workers they'd close if they organized. Doesn't that make them taste better?
See if you can stop and talk to the Spanish speaking union buster they hired over a cup of coffee!

I will add that I think it's a shame. There's nothing sadder then feeling like I shouldn't support a local business because of union busting activities, but there it is. Surely, Ventura Village needs small businesses and community support. It's unfortunate that the workers in those businesses are apparently not always treated with the respect they deserve.
