GREENWICH, CT Charlotte Dequeker s favorite part of coming to work each morning is opening up the doors at Raphaël s Bakery and being instantly hit with the scent of authentic fresh-baked French delicacies. When you open the door, you re hit with that smell of sweets, cookies and bread, Dequeker said. There s nothing like it.

Prior to that, he worked in some of France s most famous restaurants and pastry shops, including Le Louis XV in Monaco and Ladurée in Paris, according to the bakery s website.
