Longer version: I passed this bakery every day on the way to work and finally decided to stop in one morning. Behind the counter there is a wall of breads of so many varieties. They are all fresh and every one I've had thus far has been delicious. In the display counter there are rows and rows of delicious baked treats - everything from croissants (the best croissant I have ever tasted by far) to danishes, and an ever rotating variety of things. In large baskets they have several types of buns and pretzels, all made fresh. The pumpkin seed bun is incredible, and I get at least 6 every time I stop in. I have also had the ham and cheese baked pretzel - and it too was incredible. I'm working my way through the bread rack, trying every type they offer and I haven't been let down yet.

This cute new bakery recently opened up in late October 2015 on Corydon close to the intersection…read moreof Lilac and Corydon. It's a small-batch artisan bakery produces old-world style bread and bakery products baked fresh daily on a wood-fired brick oven. I haven't tried their breads yet but it's made with wild yeast (traditional sourdough leaven) and has no additives or preservatives. Baguettes and sour doughs adorn this place. Croissants will be coming soon but aren't on the menu at the moment. They sell cookies, scones, danishes, tortes, whole cakes can be ordered and even sandwiches to go. The shop is tiny but beautiful - I'm a sucker for bakeries. Now I will warn you that the prices are kinda steep compared to other bakeries around the city (at least for the items I purchased). I was very intrigued by their heavy cream dark chocolate scone that went for a whopping $4.25 - yes, that's for one normal sized scone. Now, I was hoping to hate it since it was so pricey but it was really delicious. The dark chocolate did not overwhelm the scone. The scone had a lovely taste and was at the perfect moisture level. It was really good but that price is hard to justify for me. Also tried a peach danish with some custard filling for $5 - this was not a flakey danish but more like a soft bread bun style, which I liked but my sister preferred a more flakey danish. The filling was very well balanced and not overly sweet but once again at $5, it was a bit steep. They sell a variety of cookies and the one that caught my attention was the milk chocolate chip cookie with pretzels and potato chips ($1.75 each). This was a soft but dense cookie that was sweet from the milk chocolate and while I didn't get a lot of pretzel and chips, the latter items provided a bit of texture to the typical cookie. Service is incredibly friendly here and despite the higher than expected prices I will be visiting them again and trying other items. It's a quality product and everything I tasted was good. They are open Wed-Fri 10 am- 6 pm and Sat 9 am- 5 pm.
