After living here for 20 years, and never going inside this little bakery, I've now been in about 5 times in two weeks. What took me so long?! Their baked goods, which change somewhat daily, are head and shoulders above the local markets (Hannaford, Shaws, etc.) and any other bakery-like places around, especially the oversized Russian Tea Cakes, the other Cookies (shortbread, oatmeal, choc chip, the usual suspects; all are great), the Strudel (would have been happy with just the Raspberry, but it also had almond paste in the bottom: 5 out of 5 stars!) and various Bars (e.g., Chocolate Cheesecake, Date-Nut, etc.). This morning I got a large Cheese Danish, and would have been happy with just the pastry part of it, it was that good. The first time I went in they had some great looking 7" Banana Creme pies for $5, which I passed on and have not seen since, but have not stopped thinking about. So, basically, I am addicted.

They're also apparently known for their lunch options (salads, sandwichs, etc.), but I haven't yet ventured beyond the pastries. Come to think of it, I'd better do so soon, as I don't want to be writing another review years later that starts out like this one did!
