My wife was quite pleased with the lettuce. Much better than store-bought, according to her. The radishes tasted good, but some were "woody". The strawberry preserves were excellent! We also had crafters come in: one lady all the way from Lincoln. Her shop is The Cloth Penguin, and she has baby bands, jewelry, skirts, and other stuff. Reach her at jfrawleyb@comcast.net. Another crafter had his wife staff the booth: thesycamoretree.net. He sells unique gift items. I'm looking forward to next Saturday when we might have more farmers show up. Northtown Farms specializes in pork burgers. Garden Marketplace specializes in vegetables.

LeBakery and LeCafe!…read more I've always known this place was here but I want to say that they only recently expanded out into having a cafe attached to the bakery. Maria hit me up for some coffee once I was back from Colorado and suggested we stop in here for caffeine and maybe some baked goodies. The coffee menu here is small so don't expect a full-fledged menu to order something fancy. I settled on a brown sugar cinnamon iced coffee. While ordering it, the barista asked if I wanted it as a cold brew and I said yes. But once I got my coffee and started sipping on it, I knew it wasn't an actual cold brew and it was just an iced coffee. While not a big deal, I wasn't a big fan of the drink as a whole. Somehow a cold version of brown sugar cinnamon just isn't that good, in my opinion. Maria got a drink, too, and agreed. She let me try her drink and I found it even less favorable than mine. While sitting there and catching up on the last few weeks, I got a snickerdoodle cookie to snack on since I didn't eat breakfast. For where the coffee was lacking the cookie more than made up for it. The snickerdoodle was soft and chewy and tasted just right. For as big as it was, I could've gone for another one, easily. At about $2 a piece, it's worth every penny. Maria got a quiche breakfast meal and some cinnamon bread while we were there. She said the meal was pretty tasty but didn't realize she ordered a meal instead of just a piece of quiche. The bakery, cafe, and staff are all very nice. Everything seems freshly painted and the general vibe was nice and clean. Its a bummer the coffee was lackluster but that may have just been the combination that we ordered. I would be willing to give it another shot should we come back (which is likely since Maria mentioned visiting again).

I ordered a Tres Leches cake for a gender reveal party, and oh my God, it was absolutely AMAZING. Everyone kept asking me where I got the cake from. It tasted incredible and looked stunning as well. Hands down, totally worth trying--I'll definitely be ordering again! Also, when I went to pick up the cake, I noticed they have a super cute café next to the bakery. The place had such a great vibe--everyone seemed to be enjoying their coffee and fresh salads, and it just felt like a really warm, welcoming space.

The sister shop Charlotte's…read moreCreamery in Spring Bay opened up this shop to stay open all year round (as opposed to the Summer seasonal hours). I went here for breakfast, and got a delicious egg/bacon/cheese sandwich to go along with my hot cocoa with homemade marshmallows. They had beautiful cupcakes in there little display cabinet, and pictures of other work. I would be anxious to try some of the lunch items, as they put so much effort in a little mcmuffin sammmie ($4). I like the idea of calling your order in a head of time because the love that they put into making your food does not come quickly. I hope that they will still be open the next time I visit.

I have included the picture they have on their Google ad that we had asked for, and a picture of what we got. But I still want everyone to understand the food was amazing.

I was a little confused when first arriving opening the door to a number of bakers racks in the middle of the floor - it felt like you were entering the 'back door'. There was also a slightly unsettling 'alarm' that rang as the door was opened, not your typical 'ding dong' of a shop door. I picked up 5 pieces of tres leches cake - $4 a piece... a definite value! The gentleman behind the counter diligently and carefully packed each dripping moist piece of cake into its own to go box. Each piece of cake is topped with a glazed strawberry half - the cake was absolutely delightful. Moist, creamy, utterly delicious! I will definitely be back and highly recommend!
