We had to go to an appointment near Grand Rapids today. So my hubby wanted to stop by this bakery…read morethat was recently voted #1 Bakery in Michigan. Can I have anything... No ... Yeah I'm crying. But I ordered everything I would if I could. And my hubby tried everything. Do I think you should go out of your way Yes! Especially now when we have nothing to do but drive these days. Everything was freshly baked different unique flavors. We ordered one of everything basically. Got into the car my hubby tried a little bite of everything and then we actually went back in to get more of things so that we could share them with other people. They had a Malple Toasted Coconut Cinnamon Roll... I tasted the frosting it was delicious. The texture was super soft by feel. He loves them. We also got a four pack of regular cinnamon rolls which we haven't tried yet. They had a homemade oatmeal sandwich cookie that was pretty good, but not the best ever. Homemade nutter butter cookies. The frosting inside was a little sugary, I tasted that, but other than that he said it was a great mixture between crunchy and soft. They have a cappuccino donut... I tasted the frosting and the filling Oh my God... If I could eat them we would have ordered a dozen. And he agrees. The apple fritters... Amazing. We haven't tried the turnovers yet. They have Apple, blueberry, raspberry, and cherry And the scones looked amazing although we didn't actually get one. The baker really seem to know his stuff. As someone who cooks all the time and goes to restaurants and likes to try new restaurants and see what other people are doing I really appreciate the fact that he also does the same. He goes places, he tries things and it gives him new perspective. And it shows that he really is into perfecting his craft. Bottom line if you're in the area you should go. If you're not in the area and you have nothing else to do you should probably still go! Everything is great and fresh and they are super friendly and helpful As with everything there's always a con. My only complaint would be that the baker wasn't wearing a mask but maybe where they are, you might not need to. I don't know what the numbers are there.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I look forward to visiting every time I am home…read more Diane and Sharon, sisters, run this lovely shop and are so great at what they do. Very unassuming in the rural area of Alto, across from Campau Corner and very much a great addition. It's primarily pick up/take out, as they don't have a seating area for dining in. The menu boasts amazing staples, all house made, hummus, pita, fattoush salad, spanakopita, baklava, baked goods, daily specials such as gyros and so much more. I've tried a few things over the years, but on this most recent visit enjoyed the gattoush salad, spinach pie, meat pie, cheese bread and cinnamon rolls. All stand out. Diane absolutely hooked it up throwing a few extra goodies in when I visit and making sure there were cinnamon rolls for me, upon my request. Cream cheese frosting and absolutely delicious, cinnamon goodness. The meat pie was perfectly flavored and paired with the salad perfectly. All made fresh and packed to order. The snicker doodle and chocolate chip cookies are also delightful.I honestly could eat here every day and probably would if I lived nearby. I can't wait to work my way through the whole menu and finally get my hands on a gyro from them one day.
