However, the selection of baked goods and desserts was robust, and I found plenty of interest. Notably, their tough to spell name denotes a small chocolate cake with indulgent toppings.

There were several patrons sitting and eating but there aren't many tables. I got a croissant and sourdough loaf to go. Croissant was good but the sourdough tasted more like refined white bread than the rustic kind that we prefer. We're not in this area too often but I'll need to remind myself this place is here.

With the holidays approaching, Bake me Happy has holiday cookie specials, you can order over the phone or on facebook and they'll ship your loved ones christmas cookies fresh from the oven! What more could you ask for? So happy to see a bakery like this open in the area.

Abraham has been kind enough to cut me a half loaf when I don't want a whole loaf that I might not finish by my next visit, and lately I have been favoring his plain spelt bread which has a sturdy flavor that is perfect for my open face lunch sandwiches. Today though I was looking for tortillas to use up some leftover chicken with and was delighted to find a packet of six, also made from spelt, at his stand, they can be frozen for future use. The spelt tortilla I steamed tonight had an earthy texture and a richness that beats just about any of the usual corn or flour ones from your typical Mexican eatery. Chapelboro residents are lucky to have Box Turtle in the community.

Now I'll have to actually venture out to Carrboro's Farmer's Market or South Estes Farmer's Market to get his home baked breads and treats. And when I say home baked, I mean literally baked in the special custom designed wood burning bread baking oven attached to the home bakery in his house. Abraham's philosophy is to work closely with local farmers and use fresh milled organic and local grains for his breads and other baked goods where ever possible. Of course, he sells locally too. If you can't get to him at the farmer's markets, you can always work out a time to pick up your order at the Bakery itself. What can I say? You have to work for it a bit, but it sure is worth it. Oh, and just to trip you up, expect some variety! Abraham likes to try new and different recipes and there's something interesting to sink your teeth into and wake up your taste buds just about every week. Disclaimer: I count Abraham as a friend so, yes, I'm pretty excited about what he's doing. But, come on... this isn't some spongy boring white bread with dubious nutritional value we're talking about. This is SERIOUS BREAD! Don't even tell me your mouth isn't watering right now. Mine sure is!

"VERY hole-in-the-wall Middle Eastern patisserie"…read more This gives hole-in-the-wall new meaning. The location is in a strip-mall that's set back a ways from 55, so it's not really visible from the street at all. However, it's weirder than that-- you have to drive AROUND the strip mall to the back, past the various loading docks for other stores, and they you see this place is open just from the BACK of the strip mall. I heard the owner is Algerian, but there are many Palestinian references and flags around the shop, so if that's triggering, then know this in advance before coming in. Still, the place is brightly lit and airy, with tables to eat. They do custom cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts, but we just wanted to sample some sweets. Hours are funny-- just midday Friday through Sunday. We ordered a pecan brownie and a pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa (shredded Middle Eastern pastry), as well as a mocha coffee. The mocha coffee was rich and delicious, as expected. The pistachio chocolate dish with kunafa was to-die-for... SO delicious. Super thick and messy, as you'd hope it would be. And of course the pecan brownie was amazing. I will say the pastries are not "cheap". I got a single tahini chocolate chip cookie to go for a friend, and that was $4.50 for a modest sized cookie. The other dishes above were in the $6 range. But these are unusual custom-made dishes, so it's fair.

There was plenty of outdoor patio seating available along with a small indoor section as well. The patio was cute and casual with many people having a late lunch, reading, or working on laptops. The coffee window was open and I grabbed an iced latte, then stopped in the bakery for a few goodies to go. There was also seating and a full service menu. I got a chocolate linzer cookie, ham and cheese pretzel, and a loaf of sage and squash sourdough - all were excellent and I thought fairly priced.

For some reason though, it took me a long time to come back. But this visit I actually sat down and tried their lunch menu. I got the New Beginnings Matcha, which I believe had elderflower syrup in it- it was nice, good matcha flavor, not too sweet, the floral essence wasn't overwhelming! Also had the Spicy Fried Tofu Sandwich, which was tasty and substantial but under-seasoned (not really spicy or crispy). I'd probably skip their Swabian Potato Salad next time as it wasn't super creamy or flavorful. But their Biergarten Seasoned Fries were awesome. Overall, I think I prefer their baked goods and drinks over their other food. Service was fast and friendly (you order at the booth outside, get a number, and can sit anywhere). There's also a separate entrance for the bakery if you want only baked goods. Ambiance is amazing (cozy, bright, spacious)- there's both indoor and outdoor seating. There's ample parking, but it fills up quickly during peak times. 8.5/10 would recommend!

We got a pack of 8 chocolates (admittedly they did cost a pretty penny haha), which ranked from my most to least favorite are: 1. Horchata: So good, the horchata essence hit me as soon as I took a bite. Very cinnamony, very milky & creamy. 2. Passionfruit: I'm a sucker for anything passionfruit. The curd-like filling did not taste artificial at all. 3. Almond cardamom: Topped with a real almond, but more cardamom forward, reminded me of chai. 4. Hazelnut sassy monkey: Distinguished more coffee than banana, but it was there. Also liked the layer of crunch. 5. Raspberry lychee: The raspberry jam was strong and tasty, the floral essence from lychee was subtle. 6. Sesame matcha: Surprisingly citrusy? I did taste some bitterness from the matcha and appreciated the earthy sesame crust. 7. Ube: Sadly did not detect much ube flavor. 8. Earl grey lavender: Definitely the prettiest, but tasted like what I imagine soap would taste like. In terms of whether the chocolate is worth the price: I've never had this experience of trying such diverse and interesting chocolate flavors before so it was for me. Ambiance is nice, I think there was only outside seating. There's good parking nearby in the Brightleaf lots or on W Pettigrew St. Service was fast and friendly. 8/10 would recommend!
