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!!

You go in, look around, make some decisions and you are out the door. I got a lemon shortbread cookie to try. The breads that day were all yeast breads, and I just prefer sourdoughs. I loved the cookie I got, and the service was so kind. There were like four people behind the plastic wall, working so hard! I will be back to try the sourdoughs - just a preference. Parking is tight but people are coming and going quickly. You can also walk over from the main street. No tables, no where to sit, so keep that in mind if you plan on eating right away. I ate my cookie in the car!

The staff and bakers are so friendly and welcoming when we stopped in. It is a tiny place but the smell was just amazing.

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.

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.

We drove past on a Friday afternoon in mid-October and the stand was loaded with a variety of really well wrapped pies and whoopie pies. All of the ingredients clearly labeled, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, everything contained dairy and eggs. Bummer! I for sure would have bought some baked goods if there had been any vegan options available whatsoever (hint hint, nudge nudge; they [The Omnivores] won't even notice if you made something without dairy and eggs, but we [The Vegans]? We check every label. We'd know. We'd buy. We'd appreciate.). We did get a jar of blueberry jam for $10 and it's delicious! There's absolutely nothing like homemade jam your neighbor made, and that it's *such* a big jar for *such* a good price *and* they take Venmo?! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I wish I had bought a jar of strawberry-rhubarb too!

Luckily, with her bday on a Wednesday hey take orders ahead and are only open M-W for pick ups. Plugged the address into the GPS and it took us down a dead end street, looking at a farm house. THIS IS THE PLACE!! Small sign on the garage door. Smells delicious upon entering, very nice employees. We were in and out very quickly with our small heavy cake! We saw a cookie cake in a Yelp photo, when texted back and forth with the folks at Wicked they informed me it was a cookie dough cake! WHAT?! Yes- ordered! It came with a frosting flavored like cookie dough, cookie dough chunk on the top and sides of the cake and even in between the layers! Heavy yet delicious! Great idea! I have to say just wish the cake was softer, pretty dense. Frosting wasn't creamy either but my daughter was happy and glad I tried this place while visiting.

Not too much and complimented the meat and melted cheese (they heated it up before I left.) I also had a salted caramel latte. In al honesty I am not a coffee person but I do love me some match latte. The drink was overwhelmingly cofee vs salted caramel. The last few sips were so sweet and I like that! I also bought a chocolate chip cookie and it was delicious. Crispy edges but a soft center that tasted just right! It was a cool environment with a few tables. Right across the street from the Polyanna statue. Also, the staff were patient and very happy to be at work!
