I was amazed to hear that this bakery has existed for over 70 years in the same family. I was looking for croissants but they don't bake those. They bake cookies, bread, and a few other baked goods. I bought a sticky bun (I haven't tried it yet), beer claw with walnuts, coconut bun, and a small biscuit filled with bacon (my favourite) plus a very small free cookie was given to me. Everything that I tried was good but a little dry. The prices were very fair and not expensive. I was told that their hours are Tuesdays - Fridays - 7am - 5pm, Saturdays 7am to 3pm. Closed on Sundays and Mondays. I spent $6.25 total which is a good deal. Parking is at the back of the business or street parking. I found a free street parking spot when I arrived. I'll probably be back to buy a pack of the small biscuits filled with bacon which is $12 for a bunch of them. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 111/250 total reviews in 2026 - 952 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 31 May 2026

He came out from his job to observe me with my dog while she was struggling (she has an autoimmune condition) so she was taking awhile while he stood staring at us for an uncomfortable amount of time while I'm standing there with one hand covered in a dog poop bag. I asked him if I could help him and he told me he was making sure I was picking up after my dog and she's not allowed to go there (not even his property!). I had actually planned on placing an order with them next month to bring to my corporate office but after reading many of the recent reviews about this guy I have genuine concerns about the owner's mental health as it appears to becoming a frequent occurrence.

Tucked away in a little plaza is this gem and they have a large variety of baked goods and homemade items to choose from. They have breads, bakery, packaged foods/items, and hot lunch foods as well. They also have homemade dog treats which I really enjoyed. With this being my first time, the lady behind the counter was so lovely and helped me pick out a few different items to try as well as informing me of what all the baked goods were. I ended up getting the breakfast danish, an apricot danish, and a cinnamon glazed twirl stick. The bakery danish was interesting as it had a hard boiled egg inside of it and was topped with cheese and bacon. It was delish and it was nice to see something unique as a breakfast option. I felt the cinnamon twist was a bit dry but that could just be the type of bakery item it is. The apricot danish was nice, not sure if their filling is homemade or not but it tasted like most apricot fillings I have had. The bakery was tasty, I would not say I would go out of my way for any of the things that I tried but if I was in the area again I would definitely peak in to see what they have in the case for the day. Regardless, it is a cute place with lots of charm and you can tell the owners and staff genuinely care about their customers. I love supporting smaller businesses, bakeries and cafes so if i am in the area I will for sure come back and definitely try a bread or muffin next time.

You haven't indulged yourself. The pumpkin praline cookies alone are a texture unrecreatable (new word alert) by anyone else. Soft, moist, like a dense brownie almost but not dry and super duper flavorful. Unlike any other cookie you've had. Seriously. The other baked goods are also ungodly good. I mean crispy dense flavorful gingerbread cookies, huge super toasty chocolatey oat chip cookies, a brookie?!? Everything here rocks and I am a super duper snob when it comes to bakery items (see all of my bakery reviews haha).
