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.

We came here at 10:30am on a Saturday. They were sold out of many items and some weren't indicated…read moreas sold out until we asked. I recommend mobile ordering ahead if you want specific items, they were running short on a lot of things. For what it's worth, the food is good. There's a man working there who was extremely rude to us. My mom is French, and was delighted to see a French comic book displayed on the countertop. She asked about it, and the man sort of shrugged and said "oh, that? it's not special." Jeez the smile fell immediately on my mom's face. It was special to her, dude. I ordered toast, and the cashier asked him if he could make toast. He scoffed, rolled his eyes hard at me, and gave me a withering stare. Mind you, toast was in stock, on the menu, and this is a bakery at 10:30am. I don't understand why that request was so crazy? He took over the cash register and rushed my mom through the payment process. He pressed buttons to skip sections before she was done reading the payment pad, and said "Too late!" when she got visibly flustered. He made us feel incredibly unwelcome, and like we're just annoying dollar signs to them and nothing more.

This cookie shop in Keene is very cute, with adorable decor & inviting looking cookies in the case…read more We eagerly filled a small box with a selection of beautiful cookies ($20 with added tip) and tried them as soon as we walked out. It was immediately obvious that the chocolate chip & snickerdoodle cookies were not fresh. They tasted & felt at least 2 days old. Perhaps it was our mistake for not asking when these were baked before choosing them. The iced shortbread & linzer cookies were good. The raspberry jam between the linzer's shortbread cookies was generous, making it messy to eat - but yummy. The puffy iced lemon cookie itself had a nice soft texture, but the icing on it was aggressively Sprite tasting, & overpowered the cookie. Still we enjoyed the soft cookie part naked. I love a jammy thumbprint cookie, because the cookie is soft & the jam is baked into the center to reduce it to slightly chewy. The 2 we picked here had blobs of jam placed in the center after baking, & the cookie part was almost crunchy, so every bite left crumb & jam blobs dripping on your hands. We got none of the chewy jammy centers or soft cookie parts that make thumbprints so good. I'm giving 3 stars overall because service was very warm & friendly, and the shop is very inviting. Perhaps the best cookies to get here are the shortbreads as they are very cute & seem to hold up well. Or any of the cookies we tried, that appeal to you in the ways they did not appeal to us.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt it was important to share my experience…read more I ordered a custom SpongeBob-inspired cake and provided a reference photo when placing the order. I specifically requested that the cake say "26 Years Later." The bakery assured me they could complete the cake by the date I needed it. Unfortunately, the cake I received looked significantly different from the inspiration photo I provided. The lettering was not what I requested, the colors were different, and the overall decorating quality did not meet my expectations for a custom cake. The frosting was uneven and had visible marks throughout the cake. To the bakery's credit, they did honor the original $60 price I was quoted after there was some confusion at pickup. However, I was disappointed with the final product and felt it did not reflect the design I ordered. I've included photos of both the inspiration cake and the cake I received so others can make their own comparison. Based on my experience, I would not order a custom decorated cake from this bakery again.

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.
