It was packed with bacon! Though it was on the smaller side for $10 and no sides included. The omelette looked like just a two egg one. It was a little too buttery for me but not sure that would be a big deal to anyone. I'd recommend giving them a try!

So far, I've only tried the donuts, and they are beyond delicious--perfectly fresh and full of flavor. Everything in the bakery looks amazing, and I already have my eye on a few things for next time: the lemon pound cake, the cinnamon crumb cake, the birthday cake (which looks absolutely divine), and the peanut butter brownie. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. I believe it is Pick Up only. Support local!

The process of making sourdough bread from starter rather than commercial yeast is long but the taste and health benefits are so worth it. Crusty Delight customers rave about the sourdough, multi-grain and rye bread. They say: "It's the best sourdough ever." "I lived in San Francisco for about 12+ years and the sourdough reminds me of being back there." "Flavorful, crusty and amazing texture." "Gorgeous and delicious loaves." Order standard (0.75kg) or double size (1.5kg) loaves so you're always ready to make toast or your favorite sandwiches.

Yesterday, while driving for Uber Eats, I went to Nothing Bundt Cakes to pick up an order. When I…read morewalked in, a woman named Emily who I understand may be the store manager was closing out with another employee. She clearly saw me enter and stand at the counter needing assistance, yet she walked away. I stood there for approximately seven minutes before a young man finally came out and asked how he could help. I explained that I was there for a pickup but also wanted to purchase mini cakes. At that exact moment, two white customers walked in, and Emily immediately appeared from behind the counter, eager to assist them. The young man told her that I was waiting, that I had a pickup, and that I intended to make a purchase. Emily responded by saying that "paying customers are the priority." That statement was shocking, especially considering I had already been waiting and had clearly stated I was also there to make a purchase. Good customer service prioritizes people in the order they arrive not based on assumptions. When I spoke up to clarify this, Emily came over and said she doesn't know when orders come in and offered me a complimentary water. I declined. By that point, her demeanor had shifted noticeably once she realized I was not who or what she had assumed based on the color of my skin. Her surprise at my professionalism, politeness, and articulation was evident. When I asked for her name, she understood the weight of the moment. I am deeply disappointed to have experienced such dismissive and racially biased treatment. Racism whether subtle or overt has no place in customer service or anywhere else. Women like me take up space in this world, and we deserve the same basic respect, kindness, and service as anyone else when we walk into an establishment.

I met some of the most wonderful people running Baker - Turk Thatcher (retired), Beth Tiewater (no longer there) and of course the power couple who started this non-profit - Weezie and Charlie Baker. The Bakers founded this non-profit in their garage 45 years ago as a way to allow their son born with difficulties the opportunity to find satisfaction and achievement through work. This concept expanded to their Malvern location and downtown Philadelphia location. They've been the hand up to 100's of people from disadvantaged beginnings to earning a living wage and becoming productive members of society. They accept no federal or state funds and that is an amazing fact. With Weezie's recent passing I hope and pray that they will continue to be a force for good in their community.
