Tiny but charming bakery very close to Bow Market! Stumbled upon here and was surprised by how many…read morepeople were in line given the size of the bakery. However, after seeing the menu, I'm not surprised why it was so busy. The staff is really friendly and patient, especially as many people would change their orders when they got to the front to order. On a busy day, it can be difficult to see the menu on the wall, and all other menus were near the cashier so made sense that orders were changing. I tried the toffee nut coffee and loved the subtle toffee flavor that added a hint of sweetness without being overpowering. There are many other coffee flavors that I cant wait to come back and try. While I didnt try any pastries this time, there were so many to choose from, and they all looked good. For me, Id likely be more inclined to get one of their many treats if a table is available, which can be tight give the size. However, their coffee is great and a nice place to grab a cup before heading out to explore the surrounding area.

It is important to me to support local businesses and work with a fellow Latino for as many of my vendors as possible, so I was disappointed when this was the result with Noel. It was also awkward. One of the first emails asked him on a Monday if it would be possible to do a tasting that weekend, or what tasting schedules are / how he does them. He responded more than a week later saying "I don't do tastings on such short notice." No details provided on how he does them.

I ordered a garlic cheese bread which had a lot of cream cheese filling but also a bit of honey glaze with the garlic seasoning. It was an amazing balance of sweet and savory. I also ordered a sweet potato latte which unfortunately you cannot control the sugar level but was still pretty tasty. They were sweet enough to give me their wifi password so I could do some work while I was there. To go I also ordered a gochujang sticky bun and a black sesame cookie. The cookie was perfectly nutty but a little too fragile? It broke apart and crushed a little too easily. The gochujang sticky bun was an interesting flavor. I could almost do with a little more gochujang for a stronger kick but the spicy flavor is definitely there.

The fellow who served was friendly without being overbearing. I will definitely be back! I can't speak for the coffee, but the hot chocolate and pastry hit the spot.

We ordered a birthday cake from them, and it was perfectly made. The cake itself had multiple, well-defined layers and was impressively tall, providing a really great portion size for the price. The texture and flavor were spot-on, the cream filling and frosting weren't too heavy or overly sweet, so the whole cake still felt light and enjoyable to eat, even with all the rich chocolate inside. Based on this excellent experience, we'll definitely be considering them for their more elaborate custom-shaped cakes in the future for other special occasions. They clearly know their craft.

Although it was my son's birthday, I had had mainly flown in to watch him play football that Saturday. I realized I could not take a cake with me to the game because I was going directly to the post-game venue afterward (and had no vehicle). I needed to find someone who could whip up a delicious cake AND deliver it. Oh boy. It was already after 5pm that Thursday when I got to my hotel. What to do? I got on Yelp and went through reviews. All the local bakeries were listed, but The Spunky Baker stood out because of its name and because delivery was available. Maybe my day was saved?!! Sara made a 3-layered chocolate cake in the shape of a football with raspberry cream/raspberry compote filling between each layer and iced it with a delicious light cream frosting. Everyone loved it, the players, the parents... and Sara also made a couple dozen matching cupcakes. The leftovers were really appreciated by some lucky students later that night.
