Best Baguette in Philly

I am eating a baguette from La Columbe Fishtown and it's good. It made me wonder what other great baguettes are out there.

    FWIW, I started at the Philadelphia tag, and put baguette in the search bar above. There may be better ways, but that is what I did.

Has anyone else eaten at Petit Roti (gayborhood)? I think their baguette is great for their sandwich but I don't know if it would scratch anyone's baguette cravings. The crust is not very crusty. o.o (It is crispy though, iirc.)

    Website, btw: http://www.petit-roti.com
    
    It took a little digging around but yes, they did explicitly call it their "house baked baguette" once on their twitter (otherwise they just call it "freshly baked" which could go either way).
    
    I think it's good, it just surprised me, but I haven't had a baguette in france before either (there were croissants to eat and all... I only had a day....)
