Zeppole Baking Company must be doing something right, because Boise Weekly readers have awarded it the Best Bakery crown every year but one since 2010. So what puts Zeppole over the top? We'd guess it's a balance between the bakery's prime location on Eighth Street, perfect to duck into for a sandwich on crusty slices of village loaf; the breads themselves, which range from Italian Pane di Como to French Pane Francese all baked golden brown; and the cinnamon twists—which may be the most addicting dessert in the state. zeppolebakery.com
