Medford Bakery Among Best Dessert Spots In U.S., Yelp Says

Medford residents can enjoy the best dessert in the state right in their backyard, according to Yelp.

Colette opened in April 2020, a month after the state initially shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. Owners Nathalie and Franck Beddiar, both natives of France, had been trying to open the bakery for three years.
