    I visit Valparaiso from time to time for various reasons such as revisiting campus, meeting up with cousins, etc. It has always been my habit to check out a local bakery while in town. I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and there were a good selection of donuts, Danish, cookies, and coffee cakes to choose from. I went with 6 donuts - chocolate cruller, raspberry Bismarck, chocolate custard, vanilla glazed yeast donut, and chocolate cake donut. Overall, I thought the donuts were mediocre and a few of them were a tad dry.

    Ordered a half dozen Paczki's.

    My quest for a tasty Paczki is finally over. Of course this time next year I'm hoping I'll be well into a new job ideally in downtown Chicago (self-plug time...anyone in that area or NWI looking for a mid-seasoned systems analyst with Agile/Waterfall experience...ok end of self-plug...LOL*) and may or may not have the time to trek it the 35 minutes or so to Henze's for my annual Polish treat. Of course they are open at 4am...hmm. Hemingway they have a small parking lot near the store shared by some kind of hardware store so competition for a spot can be fierce (especially after nearly a foot of snow that needed a few spots for storage). I was surprised to see there wasn't a line at the door like it was when I went to Beck's Crown Bakery last year for their Paczkis. I didn't know if that was good or bad. But upon entering you could see all the Paczkis laid out on several tables away from their other offerings. I was quickly assisted on in my selection of a half dozen Paczkis. I wound up choosing Custard (my fave), Cherry, Chocolate Mousse, Apple, and Apricot ones. I was elated to get my order and even more elated to discover how tasty they were. The pastry itself tasted very fresh and didn't have that "chemical" taste that I sometimes find. It was definitely a good score. Again I couldn't believe there wasn't a huge line and this was at 12:30 PM. But I'm not complaining...in and out in less than 5 minutes. Woo hoo!

    a variety of doughnuts

    This place always have fresh everything! It's a family own bakery, which sometimes is better then the big chains! I have been coming here for years..the Apple fritters are my hubby favorite and the cheese pocket is a must try!! The prices are great and the staff is very helpful and friendly. They also place holds for you, which if you are looking to get your favorite for the day, I would recommend! They sell out fast, but as I mentioned you can call ahead to place orders! When wanting a fresh bake good and and not wanting to break the bank, stop by!

    First of all: The entrance doesn't seem very accessible, so wheelchair users and people with…read morestrollers might have a hard time getting inside. There are two doors and a step in between, and even I had to maneuver my way in and out. Just an FYI. The Press has a coffee shop inside of it. How nice! I didn't partake because the line was long, but the coffee smelled amazing. What a pleasant thing to be a bookstore that's also a coffee shop. There are some cozy couches and tables here and there among the stacks of books. I suppose you could take your cup of coffee and curl up on a couch or chair, because I saw one person doing that. But mostly: This is a bookstore, not so much a coffee shop or place to lounge. So I wouldn't visit with the intention of posting up and working for a few hours. This doesn't seem like that kind of place. Again, it's a bookstore first, a coffee shop second, a place to lounge third. Although The Press is a small bookstore, it has a nice children's section, with lots of books for kids and even graphic novels (my personal favorite). There is something for everyone here.

I wish I could've tried the whole menu too, need flights please! Did go for a cereal milk latte that tingled good vibes and set off spring tide for my trip back to Lafayette.
