Steve, the baker, (also an environmental engineer) claims the all of the donuts they make have seasoned the walls, the ovens, the pans and all the equipment - resulting in the best and most unusual tasting pretzel imaginable, and only available on Saturday mornings. Also offered are affordable breakfast bakery fare every morning Tuesday through Saturday, and delightful cake/cookie inventions - (cookies with real butter). Behind the bakery success here are a confluence of factors: awesome recipes, an open door to the town's beloved and gruff Benny - the old world Italian baker who still comes in everyday to help out or dine, Robin the ultra inventive and talented cake/cookie decorator (a speech therapist in another life) and Eric, now a 6 year veteran baker and product of Saline High School's chef Mundo. Sprinkled in the cracks are a loyal cadre of part-time counter, bakery helpers and customers. This is a small town bakery at it's very finest. What makes this bakery so special? The pretzel? the donuts? The cakes/cookies? The bakers? The staff? The loyal customers? The authentic small town atmosphere? Not sure which it is... must be magic.(Warning: long lines on the Saturdays when there is a U of M game are not uncommon..) read more
