This cookie shop in Keene is very cute, with adorable decor & inviting looking cookies in the case…read more We eagerly filled a small box with a selection of beautiful cookies ($20 with added tip) and tried them as soon as we walked out. It was immediately obvious that the chocolate chip & snickerdoodle cookies were not fresh. They tasted & felt at least 2 days old. Perhaps it was our mistake for not asking when these were baked before choosing them. The iced shortbread & linzer cookies were good. The raspberry jam between the linzer's shortbread cookies was generous, making it messy to eat - but yummy. The puffy iced lemon cookie itself had a nice soft texture, but the icing on it was aggressively Sprite tasting, & overpowered the cookie. Still we enjoyed the soft cookie part naked. I love a jammy thumbprint cookie, because the cookie is soft & the jam is baked into the center to reduce it to slightly chewy. The 2 we picked here had blobs of jam placed in the center after baking, & the cookie part was almost crunchy, so every bite left crumb & jam blobs dripping on your hands. We got none of the chewy jammy centers or soft cookie parts that make thumbprints so good. I'm giving 3 stars overall because service was very warm & friendly, and the shop is very inviting. Perhaps the best cookies to get here are the shortbreads as they are very cute & seem to hold up well. Or any of the cookies we tried, that appeal to you in the ways they did not appeal to us.

So it couldn't be an ordinary grocery store cake. So I drove the hour and selected the chocolate cake with raspberry filling and Italian cream frosting. It sat on my counter for 2 days before the birthday. What a fantastic cake! It was so moist, not overly sweet or gritty. The raspberry was delightful. This will now be my go to for every cake need.

It is thick and dense rather than a sweet chewy inside with wonderfully crisp, slightly caramelized edges. Definitely not this one. If you find yourself often disappointed in bad oatmeal raisin cookies, then save yourself from another even MORE dissapointing experience and don't buy them.

The Bread Shed in Keene NH. What's not to like?…read more Owner's, Brittney Migneault and Paul Dubois do it right, using only the finest ingredients in their products!!! Their products have been featured in Yankee magazine as well as many others. We tried three kinds of bread...White Italian Bread, which the hubby loved! I don't eat white bread so I tried the Multi Grain which was super delicious, and the Cranberry Pecan Power Bread, which was super, super delicious! The Bread Shed also bakes popular Italian breads such as Italian garlic, toscana and ciabatta as well as sliced honey oat, cinnamon raisin, jalapeno cheddar, and organic sunflower flax whole wheat. The problem is, you can't stop eating this stuff!! If you're lucky enough to be in the area of Keene NH, they're open 4:30 pm to 9:00 pm. www.thebreadshed.com My problem is, that I bought this while traveling, and they don't offer it in my area.

We tried the Kouign-Amann (the superior choice to a croissant!), an almond cherry pasticciotto (not a pastry either me or hbubby was familiar with, but the marzipan and cherry in the middle were divine) and a pistachio orange cookie. They were all extremely delicious and held up well over the course of several hours driving to Maine. We hope to stop in again on our way home! I will not make the mistake a second time of viscously biting into the Kouign-Amann in the car. the earth shattering crunch. A Vermont winter with snow made of pastry flakes! I should not have spent the next three hours lapping up crumbs out of this Civic. Take a break, sit down at a table before you leave, bite gently. Pastries this good should be savored.
