Came here on a Sunday trekking from the burbs thinking it would be my best bet to score some treats. Arrived at the shoppe just after 12pm and saw a small sampling of each dessert option for the day. As I approached, a customer in front of me called out his order- heart beating fast I knew he was going to snag the last three pop tarts....and he did. Being the optimist that I am, surely there must be more waiting for me in the kitchen- wrong. I was told new ones were coming out in about an hour-bummer! I did manage to score the flakie. The pastry was fresh and I could taste the quality of jam used (Kitten and the Bear)- a tad too sweet for my liking. The pastry itself was paper thin mostly hollowed out on the inside. Ordering three pastries would equal to one solid flakie elsewhere- not satisfied. Overall, I would skip the flakie and return for the pop tarts- too much nostalgia not to.
Word of caution- call ahead if you want to pick up several pastries! On a Sunday having only been open for an hour they were already sold out! I understand baking small batches for optimal freshness but the timing was off with several people in line hoping to score their infamous pop tarts. Service was ok no attempt to recover the situation for a disappointed customer.
Did I say I follow the Bake Shoppe TO on Instagram- those pop tarts are taunting me!!
Perhaps a little frosting will brighten my mood!
