I went there on a recommendation from a friend to pick up wonderful sourdough bread, and I found a full fledged bakery with breakfast and lunch sandwiches, a variety of muffins and donuts, and yes, superb sourdough bread, neatly wrapped. One Way Bakery has a 10% discount for both military and first responders, making me want to go over there more often. I brought home this sourdough bread and it was absolutely delicious, toasted with butter and honey on top. Yummy. I also tried half a blueberry donut which was exquisite. After a couple of pieces of bread, I only had space in my stomach for a half a muffin. But it was nonetheless. The service was superb, with smiling attendants, explaining the different offerings in the bakery. When in Claremont, this will be a must stop location.

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday to receive a Next Day Air delivery box of sinfully delicious goodies from a client. The assortment was large and the task was daunting, so after work I invited my sugar-holic staff in my office for a closed-door chocolate sampling session. Soon all 6 women had strong opinions. - We first tried the Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookie, which has a great chocolate taste. The consistency is good- not too hard and not too soft. The cookie is large and heavy and big enough to share. It's a great treat for any choco-holic. - Next, was the Almond Butter Cookie, which after the chocolate cookie, tasted a little too plain but very good. It has a crisp and flaky-like consistency and we quickly discovered that cookie eaters fall into two categories- those that like crunchy, crisp cookies and those that like soft, moist ones. The almonds added great texture. - The Double Cream Cheese Brownie is more of a cake than a brownie. It wasn't a bad size- neither too thick nor too large. The brownie connoisseurs among us felt that it was moist and delicious. - The classic Chocolate Chip Cookie was next. It is very chunky and filled with chocolate. Some likened it to Soft Chips Ahoy. Our bellies were getting filled; Our comments were getting fewer, as we were zoning out on sugar highs. - Raspberry Crumb bars, sit on a shortbread crust and are topped with an oat and pecan-studded crumb topping. Delicious and addicting. - Belgium Chocolate Ganache Brownies were not a big hit with my staff, but perhaps their taste buds were getting dulled. Most felt it was too sweet and the texture was messy. - There certainly were enough cookie types to choose from. Milk Chocolate Butterscotch is a large cookie. My tasters preferred the smaller cookies, where you can choose your portions. This cookie has a rich butterscotch taste. - The Peanut Butter Chip Brownie was delicious. The consistency is nice and chewy, with a subtle peanut butter and chocolate flavor. - Last, but not least, was the Belgium Chocolate Chunk Brownie, which are delicious brownies made with butter, cocoa powder, and walnuts. The warm brownies are topped with a nice chocolate walnut icing. It is very sweet and by this time we all had a sugar rush. I was amazed 6 petite women could devour all that chocolate goodness. They said Chocolate makes them feel loved and special and tastes great as it melts in their mouths. Nuff said. Overall, a very nice gift to receive and/or give.

I'd enjoyed Blue Loon pastries before, but until recently had never visited the bakery myself. A…read morefew days ago, I treated my mom to a stop there for lunch, and it was a wonderful experience. It was lunchtime on a Friday and New London was bustling, yet picking up lunch couldn't have been easier. The sandwiches--made on Blue Loon's own breads--were freshly prepared, neatly wrapped, and stocked in the refrigerator case beside the baked goods. We also picked up a few scones to take home. What impressed me most was the staff. Three young students were working that day, and they were some of the most poised, cheerful, and courteous attendants I've encountered anywhere. One young man immediately understood what I was looking for, gathered everything efficiently, and his colleague had us checked out in no time. In a region already known for friendly people, their professionalism really stood out. The bakery itself was sparkling clean, and I appreciated that the tables were spaced farther apart than is typical, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Next time, I'd love to stay and enjoy a meal there. And the scones? They're some of the best around--always seasonal, always delicious. If you're planning ahead, pick up some clotted cream from the Lebanon or Hanover Food Co-op along with a jar of strawberry jam, brew a pot of tea, and you'll have a treat worthy of an English afternoon tea.

I was definitely tempted by the beautiful cherry cheesecake and the turtle one as well. They had m&m cookies and chocolate chunk cookies, several cupcakes and other delicious looking things. I finally decided on a couple pastries for my parents (cinnamon rolls and fruit filled pastries)and a couple oatmeal cookies with chocolate and coconut for us. Everyone loved everything they had. If i had any complaint it was that I myself would prefer less cinnamon in the cookie as I felt it slightly overpowered the coconut but my daughter thought it was perfect.

Wile things were good under the old reign, the new management has turned this restaurant into a gem. Of particular notice is it timeliness and quality of the pizzas they make. Crusty bases. Fresh vegetables, high-quality cheese. It used to be that upon ordering, you would wait 40 to 45 minutes before you could pick up your pizza. Under the new management, the wait time has been sliced roughly in half. And always, service with a smile. This store recently applied for permits for a total remodeling, including extension of the kitchen, reducing indoor spaces, and expanding the outdoor space as well as joining it with the ice cream shop next-door. When all is done and complete, this outstanding venue will be an even better place to enjoy food.

First of all, it's on a cute little Main Street that has some historical signs and statues which I love to see. There's parking on the road and we did not have trouble getting a spot despite it being a weekend. They have some offerings in a couple fridges such as pastries and yogurt and there is a sandwich and drink menu. I ordered the ham and jam on a croissant, which is ham and raspberry with Brie I believe. It needed more cheese and less jam I would say. I still enjoyed it though! I had a tough time picking a sandwich because there are so many good options! My pistachio latte was also really good, and they had some good coffee specials. They'll call your order when it's ready and you can bring it to one of the tables they have in the small dining room. It's really cute inside with a stately fireplace, and people were doing work or catching up with friends. You could also sit out on the porch but it was a wintry April... but so bet it's great in the summer!
