For years, all the cycling routes on the Western Shore worth their salt stopped at Sweet Sue's, in North Beach. A few years ago, it became the Bakeist, which was essentially the same business, except they stopped letting you use the bathroom. Imagine my shock this spring when I saw that the Bakeist was no more:

It's not exactly Vie de France, but he's got a nice selection of baked goods and lots of outdoor seating. Plus ça change!
