Bakeries in the area

Try the Village Bakery in downtown Laconia. It is very good and has limited baked goods on display. Talking to the owner, they will bake anything on order. The baked goods are very good.

I have a daughter in NYC who is a successful Industrial designer. Her hobby is baking and her baking is getting to be more than a hobby. I tried to settle her in the Lakes Region area and open a bakery. Much like 'Love's Bite'. Unfortunately the banks are making it difficult to borrow money for new ventures. There were a couple of restaurant owners who said they would hire her. They never follow through. Any thoughts for a new baker?

I really miss Andersen's bakery on the Moultonborough/Centre Harbor border. How long have they been gone? Anyone? Wild Meadow Canoe kayak occupies the former bakery's building.

Not a bakery per say, but just a reminder that Moulton Farms will closing in a few weeks for the season. (Jan 1st?) I love their Dutch Apple pies, and lemon squares. You can call ahead and order a pie, pick it up on the way home.
They bake other stuff too like breads.

Just a throw in for bakeries.

Beans & Greens farm in Gilford does a lot of baking, but it's not a bakery by any means. There really is no full sevrice bakery in the area. I think the supermarkets like Shaws & Hannaford & Market Basket who all have a bakery really make it difficult for a full service bakery to get established in the area.

Yes, and there's Fiddleheads in Alton, which also has a bakery section in it - and yes, they can tie your boxes up with strings... isn't that a few of your favorite things?
