Best desserts in town! Everything this bakery turns out is amazing, from its savory breakfast croissants, to its 5-tier cakes (available by the slice), to its white chocolate-covered shortbread cookies. Also a great coffee spot. Our family’s favorite offering is their mixed berry crumble-top pie. Lots of dairy-free, egg-free, and gluten-free options available here as well (though many offerings are none of these).
