Elmwood is the kind of business that I love. It is old-school. We went on a hot day, they had the doors propped open, everyone looked hot, but the employee that served us was extremely helpful and peasant.
There's nothing too fancy about Elmwood. They are a bakery. They make baked goods, and that is it. They do it well too.
My wife, Dana P. and I purchased a small cake for our wedding topper as we would be having wedding pie at our actual event. We really had no idea what we wanted or needed, but they employee was able to help us figure out exactly what we should get. She did not try to make it too fancy or do anything more than we wanted. She made sure that we got what we were looking for: a small round cake for $17. Best wedding cake price ever.
We also ended up picking up some pastries on the way out...dear deity figure...so good.
We cracked into the cake at the wedding for the traditional smashey-face-thing, and the first taste of the cake blew me away. This was supposed to be a throw-away type of dessert. I wanted pie. This cake made me hate pie and everything it stands for. Luckily, most of our guests were to shy to come up to the cake table to get themselves some, which meant that we got to take it home! We won.
If you're in the market for some delicious baked goods, you need to check out Elmwood. It looks like a hole in the wall, but don't be confused. It is worth your while.
