I met the owner as well and she was very nice, letting me know that they had taken over management only a couple months ago. Their custom cake looks really epic too! However, I didn't like the two items at all, they were both overly sweet. The muffin was super oily, where it seep through the wrapper and bag, which is shocking because the muffin was actually dry and crumbly...not sure how that works. The muffin also lacked any filling, so it was dry and plain, other than the topping, which was way too sweet. The cookie wasn't that bad, I wished that they used dark chocolate because it was really sweet, and a bit hard. The best cookies for me are the ones that are crispy on the outside but soft in the inside, which this one is hard throughout. I personally don't like sweet things so if you have a sweet tooth, definitely check it out - but I was surprised about the muffin as I never seen such an oily muffin before but that's also dry.

I have recently tried their lattes and it was decent. I also had their Turkey & Cranberry Panini, which I enjoyed. Their muffins and Vegan Brownies are great too, so I highly recommend trying them. This is the best coffee shop in Mission. I hope to come back to The Penny soon.

Clearly popular since there was a line, but that's fine since it allowed me to take in the interior layout and admire the variety of baked goods. I also enjoyed all the decor and especially the fresh flower bouquets. There were a variety of bread loaves, other menu and retail items available for purchase. Once at the counter, pleasantly greeted and our order taken for a cortado, one of each of the featured focaccias, and a buckwheat chocolate chip cookie. We sat at a two top by a window which allowed us to take in the late morning sunshine and see all the birds on the trees outside. The cortado was spot on and served in a handmade cup. The focaccias were substantial and had a great tang. The buckwheat chocolate chip cookie was tasty day of and day after. I enjoyed also seeing the production baking area that was visible behind the main retail counters. Seeing the bakers shape the loaves, dipped into the seed mixture, and placed into bannetons arranged on speed carts to proof before baking.

I ordered that and 1 extra raspberry shortbread jam cookie. It was my first time to Pure Bliss and I'm pretty sure I've never paid $9.95 for a slice of cake in my life - French patisseries included. However. This was 3 slices of dense, buttery, baked heaven - the store is aptly named. I was literally ENCHANTED by its delicateness working so immaculately with the bold yet fully realized flavors. The staff were extra kind and threw in an extra cookie gratis since I had declared 1) it was my first Pure Bliss visit, and 2) it was my 1/2 birthday. Thank you to the owner. One has no greater joy in life, I think, than bringing happiness to others. Mission accomplished. Thank you to the baker. Wow again. This was 3 cakes in one and, while I've been working on my glutton chip, you broke my panel. I could NOT convince myself to parse the slice into 3 servings. Something I could easily have done if I had restraint, wasn't so starved for magic midst an oasis of mediocrity (or unpredictability). ...and also hadn't taken an edible before starting in. And, thank you to the staff. I chose that day to mark a line in the sand for not tipping people who "simply" bring me my item. I was wrong. Dead wrong. Your graciousness, professionalism and sheer kindness were worth a tip that should have equalled the price of the free 2nd cookie gift. I will absolutely be tipping you next time. Pure Bliss will hands down be a monthly treat as long as I dwell in Bellingham. Thank you for restoring some of my faith in humanity. No easy feat with a slice of cake but you did it. Well done. *Apologies to all, I got this September's end. But I am such a fan I think I must advocate for this cake to have a regular menu spot. And I'm not even normally a chocolate cake girl! The contrast just works though and I loved the chocolaty goodness the way Pure Bliss did it.

Pure Bliss has a WIDE selection of gluten free, and a vegan section. Yes, there is also an overlap with some items that are both. I was super impressed with how vast the selections for both were. It is CUTE in here! Feels like a modern Parisian bakery. There were plenty of people sitting and enjoying their desserts with a glass of bubbly. It felt like I stepped into a whole new world. The women working were DOLLS! So sweet. I could tell they had the ordering counter down to a science and were super efficient while still being friendly and spending time with each customer. The gluten free carrot cake was decadent and flavorful. The creme brule was lovely. The caramel bar (not gluten free) was reported to be quite good as well. I can't wait to come back!

When I went there, however, I was a little disappointed that it was not as extravagant as I was hoping. Their choices in baked goods were very scarce. When I arrived there I found out that they do not serve their breakfast/lunch menu, but instead the daily special advertisement from their indoor sign. I ordered the Mozzarella & Caramelized Onions Focaccia bread and their cappuccino. The focaccia was great with the caramelized onions adding succulence and flavour that stood out. The cappuccino was good, nothing special though. I also had their Almond Butter cake, which was good as well if not a little solid to eat. There was not much to talk about the interior ambiance of the café and there was not much space inside, unless you go to the back of the café. The staff was very courteous in serving me and has a good deal of knowledge about their business. My experience at the Duft & Co Bakehouse was pretty good, and I would like to give them another try. However, it will be a while because of their obscured business hours would be hard for me to come around.

I've been dying to try this bakery for awhile and each time I have failed and it's no one's fault but mine since they were either sold out or I came on a day they were closed. So this day I planned ahead. I got there ten minutes before opening which always makes me feel awkward but a line was already formed outside. Once they opened you go in and are greeted with a wide array of pastries and baked goods. I picked quite a few but will say that I'm biased as I went to pastry school and well this was the best croissant I've ever had. It was flaky on the outside and nice and buttery on the inside. You can tell that they worked hard on these and laminated them perfectly. The coffee was good too but the pastries stole the show and I will be back.
