The crust on both was perfectly flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. The strawberry rhubarb struck that just right balance of sweetness with a bright citrusy lift, and the apple was the kind of all-American comfort you dream about for a fall wedding. We picked the pies up in person, and Apple Shed was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Planning from Arizona could have been tricky, but they were so accommodating and incredibly helpful, making the whole process seamless from afar. Truly outstanding pies and equally outstanding people. Highly recommend!

Our order was placed on Sept. 23 and we needed it for Oct. 6. Not only was she awesome to work with but the 3 layer cake she made was delicious. She delivered the finished cake to our church the morning of the wedding and had it all decorated to perfection. We ordered a 3 tier wedding cake and each layer was a different flavor but all were equally decadent. The bottom layer was a vanilla cake with strawberry/raspberry mixed filling, the middle was a coconut cake with chocolate ganache filling and the top layer was a coconut cake with the strawberry/raspberry filling. The favors of each layer were the right amount of sweet, you can tell she is an artist in her craft. We will absolutely be ordering from her again! Thank you for making the cake so perfect and helping to make Our Day so special!

I walked in thinking I'd order something simple, but Jocelyn somehow anticipated exactly what I wanted before I even said it -- an oatmeal latte with honey infused right into the espresso. It was warm, silky, lightly sweet, and honestly one of the most thoughtful, dialed‑in drinks I've had anywhere. You can tell when someone really knows their craft, and she absolutely does. We also grabbed the curried chicken sandwich, which was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect balance of creamy and bright. It's the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid‑bite and go, "Wait... this is really good." The whole place has that cozy‑local‑favorite energy -- friendly staff, great food, and the kind of coffee that makes you want to reroute your trip just to come back again. If you're driving through Freeport, Camden, or anywhere along the coast, Wild Oats is 100% worth the detour.

Upon entry, you'll see the current offerings in a display to the right, and a view into the kitchen through a window in the left. The friendly staff could not be nicer; zero attitude whatsoever even after winning a prestigious James Beard award. Zero seating, too, unfortunately, other than a few benches outside. -- Chocolate Croissant: A sturdy brown contraption with a crusty exterior and a bready interior. Mine was still warm, with a good crackly bite and hints of wood flavor from the oven. Underneath were strong accents of chocolate. Very good and very different. -- Almond Croissant: A swirl shape along the lines of pain au raisins, but with almonds and almond filling. That filling was nicely understated and natural, complementing while deferring to the still-warm dough. Another example of very good and very different. This place strikes me more as a bread bakery that also bakes pastries than a pastry shop that also bakes bread-- not that there's anything wrong with that. And it's a place that's willing to sacrifice breadth of offerings (at least at any one time) for quality of offerings, and there's nothing wrong with that either. Looking forward to many more visits to get that breadth-- and bread-- over time.

We drove past on a Friday afternoon in mid-October and the stand was loaded with a variety of really well wrapped pies and whoopie pies. All of the ingredients clearly labeled, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, everything contained dairy and eggs. Bummer! I for sure would have bought some baked goods if there had been any vegan options available whatsoever (hint hint, nudge nudge; they [The Omnivores] won't even notice if you made something without dairy and eggs, but we [The Vegans]? We check every label. We'd know. We'd buy. We'd appreciate.). We did get a jar of blueberry jam for $10 and it's delicious! There's absolutely nothing like homemade jam your neighbor made, and that it's *such* a big jar for *such* a good price *and* they take Venmo?! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I wish I had bought a jar of strawberry-rhubarb too!
