What Customers Say About The Placid Baker
“I discovered a great bakery in downtown Troy, especially lively during the Farmers Market on Saturdays. They offer an excellent selection of breads, bagels, and various pastries.

“The pastry’s at placid are without a doubt great. But the sandwiches are the best in the city (along with Mallo’s). The pizza they do for lunch by the slice is New Haven style and truly some of the best in capital region. This place is all around a hidden gem” — Theodore Rabe, 5/5 stars
“The place is cozy, the bread is baked to absolute perfection, their sourdough is awesome. What is not to love about this place?? Highly recommended if you're looking for amazing bakery bread in Troy Their sandwiches and cinnamon rolls are also top notch (of the stuff I managed to try, everything else is probably also perfect)” — Mikkel Frangu, 5/5 stars
“We stopped here for lunch yesterday. They offer sandwiches and lots of pastries. We shared the Tom's Turkey sandwich, which hit the spot. Highly recommend it. The ciabatta bread was so, so yummy. We also shared a mudslide, which was so tasty and not too sweet. It was the perfect chocolate treat. The restaurant is clean and the employees are nice and friendly. Highly recommend..” — Tina Baxter, 5/5 stars

The biggest and probably the only thing that…” — Kevin Zeng, 5/5 stars
