Thank you Bread Queen for mentioning this place! What I believe to be another independent bread place but I like this one more. A few tasty pastry options on-site. Parking lot is small- I suggest parking on the side outside, watching for traffic carefully, and entering the premises. Elixir coffee in a coffee container might be outside. A small cafe would be nice with coffee equipment but then Dead King would need to be open to the public longer and more days. Weekly quality bread would be too much for me and I don't live close enough, but the distance is worth it for me for planned drives.
Nestled with a lumber company in tow, and when I went, Chestnut Hill library pop-up was next to Dead King. it is sure a treat for a different food experience.
You know it is local when a staffer, probably an owner?, asks me if it's my first time and if I'd heard of them from the Internet. I thanked the Yelp Bread Queen (There is a reason it is called Dead King- kidding) for bringing me here!!

See a connection?
Unintended pun that is now intended.)
Strawberry pop tart pastry has a good amount of flavor and not too generic flavoring like Kellogg's.
I also got chive and herb bread pastry and Black Olive bread not on the display case menu.
The pizza dough container I got, I love the size but 500 F seems to be too high for the instructions for 1-2 hrs as my pizza burned too much after 49 minutes.
This conele, which I got because I had no idea what it was, has slightly burnt edges for the flavoring with I believe a slight coconut filling. So good. Something maybe you could find at Maman, but this was (also) at Dead King.
If you don't have a car and if you can walk, it is worth it. But you have to be really good with planning, bearing the elements, geography/using your devices to guide you well. Get off Ivy Ridge station and make the 8 min walk up a hill. Hopefully you don't get too sweaty. There's probably a bathroom to freshen up somewhere.
Oh and don't get there early.
In fact, this review should've been forbidden!
Leave all the good things for me! read more
