I had heard good things about T Distefano's bakery before and happened to be in Mebane for the day…read more I'm so glad I was because everything we tried was delicious. The shop has the display cases right when you walk in the door and there is a little cafe area off to the right which seemed cute. We were greeted when we walked in and the girl who helped us gave us plenty of time while we decided what to order. I asked what her favorite thing was that they had and she told me the danishes or the cheesecakes. I ended up ordering several things to try: a glazed donut, glazed raspberry filled donut, powdered raspberry filled donut, cheese danish, chocolate chip cookie, and cinnamon roll. The donuts and cinnamon roll were given to family who already knew how good the donuts were and we tried the chocolate chip cookie and cheese danish. The chocolate chip cookie was huge, chewy, and had a great flavor. I think my favorite thing I tried was the cheese danish. The dough was buttery and the filling wasn't too sweet. It was a great suggestion from the girl working there. Also, all of this was under $18 which is crazy. Will definitely be coming back.

That said, Lou's has the best selection of baked goods in downtown Mebane, hands down and their offerings rotate pretty regularly so you can change it up day to day. They recently upped their coffee game to a local roaster and that was a welcome sight, though no espresso drinks... yet. Conveniently located at the intersection of Clay and Fourth, right next to the farmer's market lot, and with ample parking, as well as a bike rack, pocket park to enjoy your baked goods and coffee. My only gripe... and it's a minor one is the density of their croissants... IMO, they are a bit dense, slightly too "doughy", but very, very flavorful. I just think they could stand to a little lighter and flakier. I love their cream pies and just wish for some fresh strawberries (when in season) to go with them. I've not had a bad baked good from here and that's saying something. Consistency is spot on! Don't hesitate to stop in and treat your sweet tooth.

Food and Drink: Mannnnn it has been over a decade since I had last this place and it brought back…read moreso many memories of my time in Mebane!! For dinner, I had the Johnson Club, onion rings, and sweet tea. The club was and still is one of the best club sandwiches I've ever had. The amount of protein is plentiful, and the addition of the egg puts this over the top. The restaurant is a bakery so the bread used for the sub is soft and fresh. The onion rings were hot, had the perfect amount of crisp and they were not soggy like other places I've been to. Overall, I left with nostalgia and I am definitely looking forward to coming back! Customer Service: Upon arrival, the waitresses welcomed me in and invited me to sit anywhere. I was promptly tended to and my waitress was soooooo friendly!!! It's the southern charm and politeness I miss the most about North Carolina and neighboring areas. Already knowing the sandwich I wanted, I took her advice between the fries and onion rings and she didn't steer me wrong! I appreciate her work ethic and making sure that everyone in the dining room had what they needed and helping a few others (some first timers!) decide on what they wanted. Ambiance: This place is casual, and intimate in a way. It's not a huge space but it's big enough for multiple groups to enjoy lunch or small families to have a sit-in dinner. I highly recommend this place as a stop on any commute between Charlotte and the Research Triangle Area.

I haven't been to the shop- however my boyfriend does bring me a Bavarian crème donut home just…read moreabout every Saturday. When he first started bringing me my favorite donut- it was great! HOWEVER, this past year the Bavarian cream donuts and packaging have gone disappointingly down hill. And honestly, today might be the last one purchased. When I opened the bag- the chocolate was stuck on the paper and I had to scrape the chocolate off to put it back on the donut! Barely any cream in the donut. This has been a problem for quite some time. I love a Bavarian Cream donut- but I'm positive there are a lot better places to visit for this kind of donut.... That you don't have to fix every time - just to eat it. Perhaps this place could invest in a better way to transport 2 donuts other than by a bag.

After spending time on their website, their FB page and reviewing YELP, I decided to "go for it" and place an order for a cake similar to one that I saw on their FB page. I completed the "contact us" form and waited. And waited. I ended up phoning after a few days and spoke with April, who...in the beginning, wasn't very helpful with flavor combinations (suggested I check the site) but was very pleasant and patient while I did so. Ultimately, the cake was done (on time) and April even texted me a pic. They also delivered directly to my daughter exactly during the timeframe that we discussed. The cake was beautiful, the exact color combo that I requested...and hand painted to boot! I ordered pink champagne for the first tier and coconut for the second. I obviously didn't taste it but my daughter said that it was amazing!!!! All's well that ends well!!! Next time I'm in Burlington, I'm definitely stopping by to say thanks personally! They played a major part in making my daughter's 21st birthday very special!!! Thanks Main Street Cake Shoppe!

They also had free face painting and cookies to be decorated for free! We will be back because I want to try their brownies.

I enjoyed seeing all the dog pictures covering the walls. The pastries here all looked amazing especially the sourdough chocolate chip cookies! I tried the sourdough pizzas they make on the wknds and enjoyed every last bite. The crust is just so perfect, it makes a nice crisp noise as you bite into it but still has that nice chewiness to it that makes a sourdough perfect! the buffalo mozzarella mixed with the garlic sauce was so great however I wouldn't mind a drizzle of buffalo sauce over the pizza for an extra kick. I also tried a sip of their cortado coffee which is true what they say puerto rican coffee is the best coffee!!! Loved it!

We were waiting on a table at a restaurant nearby and figured we'd walk around the community while…read morewe waited. As we walked, we stumbled upon The Commissary and their sign, "Food. Coffee. Horses. Dogs. VETERANS," drew us in. This establishment is so much more than a coffee shop. We loved everything about them, the passionate people who volunteer their time to the mission, the incredible animals that they rescue, rehab, train and pair with veterans, their baked goods, and their coffee. EVERYTHING! They sell a variety of baked goods including muffins, pastries, cookies, sourdough cinnamon rolls, sourdough bread, and coffee from a small farm in Puerto Rico. Everything we tried was delicious and although we were on a time crunch and couldn't stay, there is plenty of room to sit and relax while enjoying your goodies inside. All proceeds go to help veterans integrate back into "normal" life after military service. This is just an ounce of what they are about, so definitely stop by, learn more, and support their life changing programs by grabbing a bite and a coffee!
