Novas bread quality

by Swingflower

don't buy any wheat or grain as it will dry up in a day.

• Pros: good variety, use unbleached flour
• Cons: most types are VERY dry

Great coffee too!

by purplemo

Not only is the bread and the pastries at this bakery awesome, so is the coffee. When the weather is nice, there is nothing that I love better than sitting outside on Central Ave. and watching everyone go by. It is such an interesting neighborhood and Nova's Bakery makes it even better.

• Pros: Coffee, Croisants, Location
• Cons: Parking

Best baguettes and cookies in town!

Wonderful bakery and nice ambiance. Highly recommend this place. Great coffee and breads galore!

BEWARE of parking. DO NOT PARK in the back of this bakery. Signs are NOT clear or readily visible, and the tow truck company sits back there waiting for unsuspecting patrons to park in this supposedly "illegal" parking lot. The tow truck company is Wheel Blockers, 401 Hawthorne Ln . I don't know if tow patrol is illegal in North Carolina, but they will charge you #120.00 for hooking the car up to the truck. We were gone only 5 minutes, saw the tow truck and went out to move the car. Something just didn't feel right, and they already hooked the car up. No other cars had a permit that we could see. Just beware.

• Pros: Coffee and Breads
• Cons: PARKING. BEWARE and do not park behind this bakery. The tow company stays and waits in this lot.
