You can pre order bread, pies, cookies and other items for the holidays, and pick them up the week of, which is super convenient! Pastries, pies, and cookies are somewhat pricey so be prepared to spend a bit, but it's worth in my opinion for the quality of ingredients. Service is always superb. Highly recommend Bread Bike!

It looks fantastic! - The wall behind the check-in desk was hand -painted by a local artist and features all local plants and woodland creatures. I'm a huge fan of the color green they chose. The front desk agent was so welcoming and kind in explaining all of this to me. Make sure to check it out!

Came in early on a Wednesday morning and thought the storefront and inside the bakery was very…read morecute. Maybe it was too early, but I did notice that it was a bit dim inside. I could barely see the pastries in the case. No worries though, I saw what I came in for. Purchased a French baguette for $3.70. Beyond amazed at the price. Excited to have some with my coffee, I ripped off a piece almost immediately and noticed the nice crust on the outside. 5 stars for the crust!! As for the flavor, it seemed a little flat. It was lacking some of the wheaty-tangy flavor you would get from a longer prove/fermentation. The inside of it was also missing all those nice deep pockets you see in a French baguette. Overall, not a bad baguette, but not one that you yearn for. I'd like to mention the young lady Annabel I had the privilege of meeting outside of the bakery. She was on a delivery run, but told me about their IG page, and we had a wonderful chat about cookies. Thank you for your time, Annabel, you are awesome!

I was so hungry that I completely forgot to take a picture and instantly regretted it. It was that good. The croissant was fluffy, soft, and had the perfect amount of ham, cheese, and jalapeño.

I will honestly be dreaming about that croissant. If you go, definitely try it!

Love the unique combos that you can't really get at the grocery store. We're on our way to Hearst Castle to stop by for a quick bite and this place did not disappoint. My boyfriend got a cinnamon roll and we split the Italian Grinder. Both were so fresh and the ingredients seemed top notch. So glad we had an opportunity to try this bakery!

We stopped here for breakfast on Saturday morning around 9:30am because we were staying at the…read moremotel across the street, and we enjoyed the breakfast. It wasn't the quickest option because there was one person rolling dough off to the side and one person handling everything else including making the food and taking orders, so I would expect to wait. If you have the time though, the breakfast bagel sandwiches were good and they also have a chocolate zucchini loaf that we also bought. The bagels tasted fresh and the sandwiches were very filling. I didn't add anything to my bagel (beyond the cream cheese, tomato, and avocado that was included in the breakfast bagel), but my boyfriend added bacon and it was a generous amount. The chocolate zucchini loaf is honestly more of a cake and quite a bit sweeter than other zucchini bread I've tried. If you're looking for a denser chocolate cake with little flecks of green, it's great. They also offered samples, and we bought the chocolate zucchini loaf because we enjoyed the sample. There isn't anywhere to sit inside but there are a couple of tables outside on the patio. Only a couple of them had umbrellas, and unfortunately we were at one without an umbrella, but it wasn't too bad since it was earlier in the day. This is definitely a more casual place, and worth going to if you have some extra time to spend and it's convenient to you.

They have chicken shack & smokehouse stand, corn toaster stand, ice cream & sweets shop, and a main shop (filled with fresh produce, local honey, jams, snacks, pies-fresh and frozen, home gifts). Plus they offer hayrides rides and a petting farm animals. Public restrooms are not limited to paying customers which is always nice. True confession, we stopped here to use the restrooms. I've never been here. The game plan was to head back onto the road quickly after our break. But ya, that didn't happen. I got TRAPPED. My interest was peaked. I HAD to browse every inch of this place. Luved it!! The chicken shack stand sells BBQ and local crafted hard ciders. Corn roasters stand sells fresh roasted corn on the cob. Mmm. I bought one, delicious!! The ice cream& sweets shop sells taffy by the weight, packages of fudge and candies, and coffee. Take note though they do NOT offer ice cream samples. Don't even bother asking for the exception, they have signs stating no samples. The main shop had a dizzying amount of inventory. I picked up some items for purchase but bailed out of the line since there was no movement in the line due to multiple line cutters. I wasn't the only one that bailed out. Several others did as well versus losing our cool and spiraling into potential tourist trap rage. Chaotic checkout line. My suggestion is to move the pie display stand and make a roped line maze. And don't forget to check out the barnyard animals. Lettuce can be purchased to feed the animals. The animals are behind a fence and include goats, Abby the Jersey cow, donkey, chickens, alpacas, and that's to name a few.

Got here around 12 PM on a Saturday and there was a line already. Moves quick though. We ordered 2 drinks which costed almost $20 after taxes and without tips. Pretty pricey compared to socal matcha spots. They cost around $8 a cup. I got the strawberry matcha and it was okay. Compared to rok or airoma, it's definitely not worth it. The cup is pretty small for the price and the taste is mid. The strawberry reminds me of the jam in the jar you buy for sandwiches. The straws are also not very functional. Small and weak so mixing was a struggle and it was hard to drink from as the straw was deteriorating. There really isn't any seats there so it's more of a pick up and go kind of place. Hope their drinks improve for the price they are charging. As you aren't really paying for service or ambiance, just the drink. Wanted to try their blueberry matcha but it was sold out.

We noticed a long line forming about 6:00am and asked family about what we were seeing (they live across the street). Store opens at 6:30am each morning and lines form before opening and throughout the entire time they are open...we discovered the line moves quickly due to the way they have the shop set up. When you first enter, you see both "kitchens" where the rolls are formed and created. We happened to catch a time when a roll was being made and it was fascinating! Soft dough, rolled out to a huge rectangle, covered with so many pats of margarine, huge sprinkles of sugar and their cinnamon spice (they sell it in bottles). The dough is then rolled with the addition of more sugar and cinnamon and then cut into large rolls. Nine rolls per baking pan and set aside to rise and then to baking. They offer several kinds of rolls including both frosted and unfrosted cinnamon rolls, pecan rolls, walnut rolls, almond, and maple bacon. We had frosted ones and pecan and both were scrumptious and one of the best rolls we've had! They are best fresh and warm and they do offer some tables and chairs outside to sit and enjoy them! We didn't order but was told by several people that their coffee was excellent as well. The history of this place includes the development of cinnamon rolls after a request at the AZ State Fair of all places!
