Would I drive 7 hours just to pick up a order from this bakery? If you hesitate even a second with…read morehow to answer, we can't be friends. I love-love-love some pastries. Scones, cookies, tarts, doughnuts, just keep the carbs and sugar coming. And upon my last visit to the Burg, I walked up on this place. Upon discovering that you have to place orders ahead of time (for a Friday/Saturday pickup), I immediately added a reminder note to place a order before returning. Thus my first interaction with the team here. Due to other commitments on Friday, and leaving early on Saturday, I knew if a Thursday pickup wasn't a option then I would not be enjoying anything. I sent a email and within 24 hours Alicia responded and graciously said they could make it work. Then, I just started clicking. 2 of this, 1 of that, wait what flavors are those? I might of been a touch hungry while ordering, but honestly that wouldn't have made a difference. Knowing the two doing the baking (take a moment to read the "About Us" page) and what they offered (e.g. butterscotch bourbon oatmeal cream pie, cinnamon streusel coffee cake, gooey butter cookies, sugar cookies-with sprinkles, strawberry lemon scones...wait, this was my order I picked up!), I came with a high level of anticipation. I walked up to the window, rang the bell, and held my breath. What if they had forgotten me? What if my order had somehow disappeared between Augusta and the Burg? What if...almost immediately Alicia opened the service window. My order was boxed and ready to go. No disrespect to the photos they share on social media handles, but that is just not enough to fully prepare one for the sight awaiting in that clear top on the box. The multi colors of the sugar cookie, the thickness and weight of the oatmeal cream pies (yes, I ordered 2), and of course the heavenly aroma of it all as one deeply inhales. To save myself the embarrassment of shamelessly eating everything like Cookie Monster in the Nabisco factory, I waited till I was alone to open this treasure trove of goodness. The butterscotch and bourbon, they go together like the final couple of a dating series finale. I am soooo glad I didn't eat a meal before this. That alone almost took me out for the afternoon. Again, the heftiness of the pie is a baking wonder. But oh the moistness (no, I am not afraid to use that word) of the pie and the creme. You don't need milk or coffee to wash it down. But I do suggest a cup of something on hand as you might choke inhaling it with such a swiftness. Then the cookie samples began. My compliment? Everything; flavor, texture, airness. My complaint? Not purchasing more. There should be a nudge that pops up on anything you only order one of that reads, "Are you sure you only want one?" But I digress. And also take a nap. Can't wait for my next order in March. I will add that they do walk up items that do not require pre order. They also have a far more extensive list of pastries (sweet and savory), breads, and custom cakes that you can order. If you are anywhere near Harrisonburg (home or passing through), treat yourself!

We are so glad we chose Bittersweet Bakery to make our wedding cake! From the start, the experience…read morewas amazing. We loved the tasting beforehand and were so impressed by how many delicious flavors there were to choose from. It made it hard to pick just a few. The baker was so easy to work with and recreated exactly the idea we had in mind for our cake. It turned out beautifully and was perfect for our wedding day. Bittersweet Bakery is such a gem in Harrisonburg, and we're so thankful they were part of our celebration.

We do our best to support Black-owned businesses whenever possible and we will DEFINITELY be returning!!

Being the mom of a freshman who is 3hrs away learning how to navigate special days where you can't be present is new and can be a challenge. Of course I sent a care package full of treats, but I wanted her to also have something fresh. I ordered a box that came with six cupcakes, two cookies and half a dozen chocolate covered strawberries. This was a large enough box for her to share with her friends (highly doubt this happened. My girl loves sweets lol) or to keep her satisfied all weekend lol. Ordering was easy and delivery was a breeze. They checked in with me the day before to confirm the delivery time and even snapped a really cute picture of her holding her surprise. I definitely plan on visiting them in person on my next visit to the Burg. If you're looking for a few sweet treats, I'd highly recommend Sweet Joy's.

Let me preface this with the fact that I've never been to a Mexican bakery before and had no clue what the pastries were I was looking at. I immediately fessed up to the woman working there and asked her to tell me what to get. She was really helpful and friendly and explained everything in the shelves so I'd know what I was getting. The flavors and textures are different from what I've been used to at Italian bakeries, but everything was super yummy. Unlike so many fresh pastries, the leftovers were still moist and fluffy the next day and made for a second good breakfast. The price was great for the quality and quantity ($7-8 for 6 huge pastries). This may be a regular stop when we're in the Harrisonburg area now.

While I am not a Crumbl cookie fan, my kids love them, so we dropped in on a whim while picking up…read moregroceries for a snowboarding trip. The store was spotless and offered self-serve ordering. The guy who took my son's payment and packaged the cookies was friendly enough, and the cookies looked beautiful. My only problem with this Crumbl was the location. This shopping area is congested, so it's not a quick in and out to grab cookies, and the sidewalk from the parking lot to the store was littered with abandoned shopping carts and all kinds of nastiness. It looked like a homeless encampment and felt like navigating an obstacle course to get to the storefront. Not great curb appeal.

The truck moves to different locations on different days, but first after calling the number for Strites and talking to Carl, the owner I mistakenly was given directions to the main store, and not the truck so I picked up a half dozen of their great donuts (blueberry and Bavarian creme were my favorites) but no Carl, whose friendly voice directed me numerous time because I kept on forgetting the different addresses each time before I could get them into the GPS. After leaving the main store and talking to Carl a couple more times I was determined to find Carl (It was on my way to Roanoke ) and the Silver Bullet, thirty some feet of donut making perfection. Finally pulling onto the lot where donut magi was taking place, Carl, and I had a nice chat, and I was lucky enough to go in and see his fine operation up close. I found out that Carl besides working his donut business that he started many years before with his wife, Miriam, from the back of a truck) has a ministry for prisoners, and also feeds the hungry, he has even worked in Camden New Jersey doing G-ds work which is up close to my neck of the woods. Well these donuts are some of the finest that this old Hotdog World Champion has ever eaten and my new favorite is Strite's glazed jelly filled long boy. Go track down Carl, and the Silver Bullet down yourself, or hit the main store, you'll be glad you did...
