The baker of breads for many of the local restaurants in town. We love going here in the morning for coffee and a tasty treat, like apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, and donuts! Also a good spot to grab rolls or bread for meals later. We are also a huge fan of the Breakfast Sandwiches with Veggie Cream Cheese!
