| - Love Mabel's loaves! Have tried the K2 rye and the rye sourdough. Loaves are in the $5-6 range. Don't by shy to ask them to slice it (perfect for grilled cheese, and for freeze now, toast later).
Mabel is more than just great bread, Mabel's sweets and squares are the best! I wish I could say I've tried more of them - they all look so tantalizing - but I love the peanut-butter-rice-crispies-chocolate-triangle thing so much, I can't stray unless I get that PLUS a second thing. So I also know that the peanut butter cookies held together by caramel cream are incredible, too. (Most of the squares are in the $3 range.) I should at least try all the peanut butter things, they seem to have peanut butter nailed.
Since it's Easter Sunday today, I thought I should get with the holiday and have a hot cross bun. Mabel's had these strewn about the store, stacked in the bread area, another huge tray on the floor, a platter near the cash. $2.25 each, and were soft, fresh, just sticky enough. (I ate it with a coffee from Tim's down the street... where I brazenly asked for butter and a knife that I used on my hot cross bun - thanks, Tim's, I owe you one).
The only thing I haven't loved from Mabel's is the sausage roll. The pastry itself was superb, but the sausage was so over-herbed (floral and perfumey) that I couldn't eat it. (And maybe was a touch overpriced for a single roll, too, around $5.50.)
