We wanted some kind of really great wedding-like cake, and we stopped in North Conway on our way up - pretty much zero notice. I pop into Danette's shop, introduce myself and explain our situation, and she came through big time in 20 minutes.

They seem to get something different every time, and everything I have tasted has been fresh and delicious. The place is small, you come in, and the line can be intimidating, but it's just an intimate experience. There is some seating on the porch outside. But only when it's nice out! Things go quick here, first come, first served! So, get here early if you know you want all the possible choices. I love the jelly filled stuff - reminds me of my childhood. Give it a try, it's friendly, it's fresh, it's local!

Tara Bombardier was a wonderful contribution to the four+ day writing retreat I hosted, held in a…read morelarge, private home. I love how organized she was with everything, and how easy that made it on my end--the cooking/baking instructions were simple and spot on, and the labels were perfect for peeling off to put on the table in front of the served food. The food was delectable all the way around! Such a wonderful variety, and what a treat to have such scrumptious food each day. I especially appreciated that Tara used homemade and local items, and that she took such care with the presentation. One thing I hadn't anticipated was how Tara's presence would enrich the retreat! She brought a lively and positive energy into the room every time she arrived; a breath of fresh air each time. It was so easy to have here there, and such a treat for me to not have to think one bit about what she were up to--I trusted her to do whatever she needed to do to get food on our table, and that was pure joy for me. Biggest hits: orrechiette with pumpkin ragout and portobellos; flatbread trio; gingerbread dessert; roasted pear and brie crostini; bisque with grilled heirloom, mozzarella and basil sandwiches; quiche and frittata; burritos; roasted Brussels sprouts. Yum, yum, yum! My retreat participants were thrilled. Here's some of what they said: - Loved the food! The meals were tasty, healthy, and displayed with artistic professionalism. - The food was amazing! Tara the chef is awesome and it was wonderful to come away for a time and have your meals taken care of. I have a big family, with lots of noise and lots of craziness, and it was lovely to be able to enjoy meals and time with fellow writers in such a peaceful, relaxed environment. - The food was good, and I'm a picky eater who likes her meat and potatoes [we served vegetarian fare]. I felt healthier and better after eating meals. I was inspired to try them at home! Don't even bother to look further for a personal chef--you've found the best! Can't wait until our spring retreats to work with her again!

Prior…read moreto our wedding date we setup appointments with several of the local bakers, in order to "sample" the cakes. After much deliberation and debate, we decided on Beth at the Sugarmaker Bakery for far too many reasons. Bottom line, Beth showed up personally on our wedding day to assemble the cake (three tier, elevating layers..... think floating stairs, best way I can describe it). Prior to showing up we were shown examples of previous work by the Sugarmaker Bakery, and it rivaled the cakes on TLC "Ace of Cakes". Why Julie N. had "pleasant" things to say about her purchase, I see no reason why she felt the need to drop a three star rating on Beth. She does stellar work, and I would recommend her over half the bakers in the North Conway area!!

A small bar as you enter that was full when we came in. We sat at a small table in the bar area. Everyone was very nice and our waitress was attentive enough - but she seemed a bit busy. But all was fine service wise. So....the food. It's weird. Like trying too hard to be different but just didn't hit the mark for me. I see bread on a menu and I get excited! So immediately I ordered the Parmesan bread with dill pickle butter. The bread was warm and I enjoyed it but the butter with dill pickle just didn't work for me. Lots of other things to me could have complemented the bread better. Then we order the lettuce wraps, they were ok. My friend ordered the duck and I tried it and we both really liked it! The vegetables were good! My sirloin....the steak itself was good despite being a tad overcooked for medium rare. Something on the plate had a curry flavor - it just didn't all go together well. Then the lemon ricotta cheesecake....we didn't taste any lemon, it was thick and weirdly dry for a cheesecake. It also had freeze dried something on top....we actually weren't sure what. Some bright spots - the food quality! You can tell that these are top notch high quality ingredients, and the cocktails! They were yummy! I just don't like the weird combos and what (to me) feels like being weird for the sake of being different versus just being good. Since I only come up here a few times a season I likely will go to our other favorites or try new spots.

What an adorable cafe!…read more We stopped in before we headed home to have coffee and breakfast. We arrived at a quiet point in the morning rush, but they do get very busy! Service is friendly and fast though even when they're packed. I had a turmeric maple latte which was unique and delicious. Along with that I had the Mountain Mama sandwich which had an egg, hummus, goat cheese, and vegetables on a super soft English muffin. It was delicious! My husband had a hummus bagel with cucumbers and tomato and it was a great light start to the day. We also tried a ham and cheese croissant which was good. It was the softer bread style croissant and had chopped rosemary ham and cheese which was delicious, I only wished there was more of it! I brought a maple molasses cookie and a butterscotch cookie home. They were both so delicious and chewy! My only criticism is I wish there was a touch more salt, but I'm nitpicking. Highly recommend stopping in for a light breakfast or lunch, and taking some baked goods for the trail!

The wedding we attended featured them, and after trying a few, I knew I had to visit the shop myself. They're perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and genuinely some of the best I've had. Their coffee is solid--definitely the best you'll find in this small town--and they offer a surprising variety of avocado toast options, all fresh and really thoughtfully put together. On top of that, the people who work here are so kind. It feels like the sort of place where everyone is happy to see you walk in. If you're passing through, or in town for an event like we were, this bakery is absolutely worth a stop.
