Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would find a bakery that can give any pâtissier in parents are run for their money tucked away in a cute little cottage core shop in a small Adirondacks Village. Everything I tasted was absolutely incredible, and I tasted at least half the things on the menu. My favorite was the crustless quiche on a Dutch knuckle breakfast sandwich. Literally one of the best things I've ever tasted. Honorable mentions go to the salted caramel donut, Blackberry morning bun, bagel breakfast sandwich, and apple fritter. The chocolate donut and cruffin were also extremely excellent. Shout out to Brenna, the butter fairy and butter princess for the buttery perfection. The latte drinks here are also phenomenal. In addition to the quality of the food, I truly appreciated the attention to accessibility and inclusivity. I'm not lgbtq but it was nice to see the pride flag flying out in front of the store. What I am is disabled and I was so impressed how this tiny shop in an old house made their facilities so accessible to wheelchair users like me. It was incredibly affirming to see not just a ramp but a perfectly graded one that anyone could wheel on and a large perfectly laid out restroom. We chose to sit outside on the porch and there was a table that was perfect for me and my two travel companions. Tables inside are accessible too. As a testament to how much I love this spot, we had to drive by on our way out of town to get more things. I will definitely be back if I come to saranac Lake again and hope everyone goes to support this incredible business and the talented, kind people who work there. read more

This cute little store in the ground floor of what appears to be a residential house was really great. We got an apple cider donut and a caramel donut to split. The caramel donut was really amazing; perfect flavor, just wow. The apple cider donut was unfortunately a bit dry when we got it, but likely would have been great if we had gotten it when it was fresher. Really great spot, definitely recommended! read more

The maple glazed donut was hands down the best donut I have ever had in my life. The glaze was perfectly mapley and sweet! The inside was soft and chewy. The apple cider donuts were still good, but were not as soft and flavorful. The inside of the building was very cute! read more

While traveling through Saranac Lake we were pleased to find this cozy gem! The croissant was among the best I have had outside of Europe, buttery, soft but flakey with a gentle crispness on the bottom. The cinnamon roll was a soft, sweet treat that we will dream about until the next time we make it north. The added bonus was the unexpected high quality drip coffee. It was smooth and delicious. We will now make this a designated stop any time we are in the area. read more

Great little place. Coffee was good and bakery was delicious. Not the most options, but what was there tasted great or looked great. Service was also very nice, exactly what you would think in a small town. read more

This is a very cute place in town! The bagels are delicious and you have to try the cruffin!! just wish they opened earlier!

Awesome bakery! Great selection. Loved the quiche and the croissants. I recommend very highly. It's right in the center of town and walkable from most of the nearby hotels. read more
