This bakery is in a strip mall at the corner of OKM Rd and Burke Center Pkwy near Glory Days restaurant, Radio Shack, and Bike Lane bicycle shop.

The one in springfield is actually called "The Swiss Bakery", haha, so it's easy to remember
Welcome to The Swiss Bakery | Artisan Bakery, Pastry Shop, Gourmet Swiss Foods - Virignia

They have a springfield location and another location in Burke

They have a really good bakery there and a lot of european candy and chocolates. I believe the owner actually took a lot of their staff on a trip to Switzerland to learn from swiss chefs some of their baking techniques, pretty cool. The French Press coffee at the cafe is really good too

Is King cake the same thing as three kings bread - http://www.theswissbakery.com/store/...ecialties.html
I'm sure they'd be able to make the cake for you either way.
