This is NOT your usual grocery store bakery. Items are baked on the premises, they are not laden with sugar, and there are lots of uniquely decorated treats in addition to real, rustic breads. Once I asked Chef if he would make a family favorite recipe, a Blitz torte, for my husband's birthday. My husband said it was just like he remembered from his grandmother. I stop here periodically for bakery treats when I want to recognize good service or pleasant staff at businesses I frequent. My "gifts" always go over well. Of course, I have never been disappointed with my personal choices either. My favorites are the bear claws - OMG; you've gotta try them. But go and discover you own favorite.
