They open early (6am) and always have a wide variety of fresh baked breads in stock. I love to order wheat bread and they are one of the few bakeries in the area that bake it regularly. The deserts are also really good. If you come in knowing what you want, you will be happy. If you aren't sure what you want or have questions, don't expect much from the help.

June 6 was my birthday, and after celebrating the night before at a lovely restaurant in the city,…read moreI found myself with no plans on my actual birthday. I decided I wanted to treat myself to a little cake. I usually visit a local bakery for cakes, mini desserts, and cannolis. It's generally pretty good, although it can be a bit hit or miss depending on what you order. While searching online for bakeries nearby, this place came up with stellar reviews. I was surprised to see it was only about an 11-minute drive from my house, so I decided to make the trip. The bakery was set up much like a classic neighborhood bakery, with beautiful cakes displayed along one side and cases filled with mini desserts, pastries, cookies, and cannolis. While chatting with the staff, I mentioned the bakery I usually go to. That's when they told me that bakery actually gets its cakes from Normandie. I found that fascinating because I had always assumed every bakery made its own cakes from scratch. Suddenly, a lot made sense. I had originally planned on buying a small birthday cake, but since it was only for two people, I decided to put together an assortment of mini desserts instead. I picked up tiramisu, carrot cake, lemon cake, and several other mini cakes. Every single one was outstanding. Not one dessert missed the mark. The carrot cake was moist, the tiramisu was perfectly balanced, and the lemon cake was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully made. The minis were slightly smaller than the ones I'm used to buying elsewhere, but honestly, they were the perfect size. Now that I know where those cakes are actually coming from, I'll happily make the extra 11-minute drive and buy directly from the source. This will absolutely be my new go-to bakery for birthdays, special occasions, and hostess gifts. A wonderful birthday discovery that turned into finding my new favorite bakery.

They looked great. Got home and just now was going to make lunch with them. I have to say so disappointed. I asked for two "hard" rolls and boy did I get them. They were more like day old hard rolls . Instead of being crispy they were rotted it seemed. Completely fell apart, crumbled at touch . No crunch or crispiness and my fingers pushed thru the outside surfaces like going into cardboard. Crumbled and felt so stale under these circumstances had to be at the minimum day old left out dried up rolls. I had heard they went down a bit down the "old" Dixie Lee, but this was embarrassing. Sorry David Burke, I expected so much more from you... I learned my lesson today.. off to J&M where I should have gone to begin with. And it's a shame. 3 yrs ago I was a fan. Not any more...

I recommend others go and experience this place for yourself. There is a great selection of breads and pastries.

When I stopped in, I was…read morepleasantly surprised to find a nice selection of pastries, and even better, my app informed me that I was eligible for a free beverage of my choice. As I browsed the display case, one item immediately caught my eye: the Strawberry Croissant. My love of croissants and strawberries made the decision an easy one. For my complimentary drink, I selected the Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew. Both choices hit the spot for my craving. The croissant was a good treat, and the cold brew provided a nice boost of caffeine to keep me going through the rest of the day. Moments like this remind me why I am glad I downloaded the app. Between the rewards and occasional free treats, it is a nice perk for anyone who visits regularly. I enjoy the consistency of the brightness of every location, and they have a fairly clean station where you can retrieve utensils, sweeteners, and, if you want to add milk to your beverage. The garbage hole is found in the same area.

More good: my cafe latte was good. I like that they had chocolate/cinnamon powder as an item to sprinkle on your drink if you want to. I enjoyed the tiny pastry (maybe it was the pastel de nata). The restaurant seemed super clean and pleasant sound level. The not so good: the Hash Brown Bread with Ham & Cheese. They said they warmed it for me but there was zero detection of warmth (meh, I didn't ask again). I didn't care for the ketchup flavored drizzle on top of it too (made it look nice but too sweet and just didn't add to the item imo). There wasn't really a "crisp" to the hash brown part. Would visit again, wouldn't get that savory hash brown pastry though.
