    TLDR: LOVE the place, highly recommend. Make sure to have your order repeated back to you!…read more My husband and I love this place. Clean, friendly, homey. Smells like fresh baked bread and goodies every time you open the door. Pastries are SO WORTH IT. They also have seasonal items: - super tangy passion fruit/pineapple danish -refreshing tomato basil danish -fun lemon/raspberry meringue danish We love the ham and cheese croissant too(year round) Giving it 5 stars because we still love it. But had a bad customer service experience today. Ordered a bunch of pastries for 2. We were asked by cashier if we wanted our "tomato danish and elote danish to be heated" Us: "yes, except the tomato danish, pls" Paid and tipped. All was dandy. Went to a table to patiently wait when my husband realized they didn't add the tomato danish(about 1 minute after transaction) He had to get back in line to ask what the mix up was and order it again. Cashier told him she misunderstood that we "didn't want the tomato danish". We didn't get the danish because it sold out (Understandably so, it's super yummy) while my husband was in line. As folks from the industry, we understand mishaps can happen, we still love this place and will still come back. This experience was just disappointing and could have been completely avoided. In the future maybe have cashiers repeat orders back. Which is usually normal for most/all food related businesses.

    I was literally driving down Virginia when I rolled down my window and asked one of the ladies who…read morework there if the sourdough bread was good. She smiled, walked over to my car, and handed me a box of assorted pastries and said, "Today is your lucky day!" When I tell you everything in that box was absolutely delicious, I mean it! Every pastry was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. What started as a simple question turned into one of the kindest customer experiences I've had. Today truly felt like a blessed day because I stumbled upon an amazing local bakery with incredible people. Their generosity and hospitality made my day, and they've definitely earned a lifelong customer. If you haven't been to Bresnan Bread & Bakery yet, do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll find amazing baked goods and even better people!

    Love this bakery! The cupcakes are custom quality and far better than what you get at the grocery…read moreor big box stores. This is the place to stop for a quick grab and go treat or a custom order for a special event. The atmosphere is cute and clean and the customer service is excellent. Highly recommend!

    The regular cupcakes are tasty, even if the icing is overly sweet, but we worked with them on…read morecustom cupcakes for my daughter's 13th birthday and DONT BUY CUSTOM CUPCAKES HERE. Their regular cupcakes are very pretty, and we talked with a woman at the store about what designs they were capable of doing. We agreed to 2D "nature / forest animal faces" after they explained they couldn't do the original 3D design we'd brought as an example. What we got were terribly printed images slapped on top of the cupcakes with a little ring of frosting (see pictures). At no point in our conversation were we told they'd print random pictures, in fact we found some 2D cupcake examples online when we were talking and the woman behind the counter pointed at several of them and said she could do those types of designs, which were all in icing, not printed on edible paper / fondant. At $8 each for "custom cupcakes" I don't appreciate the bait and switch. I would have saved the money on the custom cupcakes and just got their regular ones, which would have looked WAY better than these more expensive "custom" ones. Honestly, with the party tomorrow we're probably going to peel off the badly printed images and just go with the cheap ring of icing and hope my daughter doesn't notice how bad / cheap they look. The cake is delicious (we got some cupcakes to try before agreeing to go with them for the custom ones), but I'll never go back. I feel ripped off and wish someone had at least bothered to call and explain they couldn't do what they'd offered and I would have appreciated being offered the change to just get their regular designs instead of them doing this and leaving a teenager at the store for us to pick them up where we had no actual manager / owner to discuss the issue with.
