Russian term or phrase: Маленькая
Как перевести фразу "маленькая пекарня"? Это название курса по выпечке прямо у себя дома. Какое прилагательное лучше использовать: little или small?
В интернете встречается и так, и так. В отношении размера используется small, но хочется услышать и Ваше мнение.

Спасибо!

English translation:Home bakery (independent/small)
Explanation:
Home bakery is ideal, that's what this kind of thing is called. Potentially "independent," indicating it's a separate small business. Definitely small rather than little, were you to go that route.

agree  rvmalev: When bakeries attempt to make baked goods in a "home style" typically it will be referred to as "artisan" rather than a "home bakery." Good answer.
