T&T's Bakery 252 East Erie St. Painesville, OH 44077 440-352-9742 As a person who has grown tired of the crappy bread sold at my local megamart, I was so glad to find T&T's bakery in Painesville.  They have the most delicious and fresh Italian bread known to mankind.  It's only a $1.35 a loaf which [...]
