They were happy to let us take our time browsing and choosing a few treats, which we really appreciated. We picked out three different cupcake flavors, and every one of them was beautiful and delicious. My personal favorite was the Dark Knight cupcake--rich and decadent. If you're in Northfield and have a sweet tooth, be sure to check out this cute little bakery. It's definitely worth a stop!

It paired perfectly with the incredible carrot cheesecake cupcake I ordered. If cake isn't your go-to, they offer cookies and plenty of other treats as well. There's ample seating inside and a bench outside for enjoying your sweets on a nice day. Stay for a bit and treat yourself to something delicious.

We did see others come out that looked better, but it was just a plain Belgian waffle with not much excitement. The bakery goods looked worthy of a look next time I stop for coffee!

Bread People is the neighborhood bakery you want to visit every day, because the bread and other…read morebaked goods are superb, because the staff and customer service are superb, because the sandwiches are superb, because the coffee is superb, and because the place smells so darn good your entire body begins to relax when you take your first step into the store. I love all of their breads (try the challah!) but my favorite is the Emmer Loaf. If they don't have samples of it out when you go, do ask. They're always willing to let customers try their wares. The cookies are terrific. The scones are terrific. The bialys are terrific. They've recently added cupcakes (and ice cream sandwiches in the summertime!), and the chocolate cupcake with strawberry butter cream frosting is so delicious it might just make you swoon a bit. They did a GF chocolate cake for Valentines Day that was to die for. And I'm ready to launch a campaign to keep the orange hibiscus sable cookies for Valentines Day on the menu during the rest of the year. Do you live somewhere other than Northfield? Make Bread People your reason for a visit. It's really that good.

Little Joy has become one of my favorite motorcycle ride destinations. It's the perfect excuse to…read moreget out for a ride and reward yourself with a great coffee. The indoor space is medium sized, normally a good number of folks working, etc. but they have a huge deck/patio through the back that's amazing! My go-to order is anything with the vanilla cream cheese cold foam--it's seriously so good and one of the best cold foams I've had. They also always seem to have fun, creative seasonal drinks, so there's usually something new to try. Their social media is really creative, and it's easy to see why this place has developed such a following. It can get pretty busy because of the hype, but the drinks are absolutely worth the stop. I'll definitely keep making the ride out here.

We sat outside on a wonderful summer day. Their patio has several seating options. The staff was pretty good. Mostly young employees.

Highly recommend the half sandwich and soup- the beer cheese soup is the best I've had, so comforting every time. Everything is pretty affordable too, especially the large scoops of ice cream!

From the cute handmade ice cream labels and the local artwork, to the photos on the bulletin board from around the world and cozy booths, and the ole/carl/townie tip jars, this place is the best and I always crave it when I'm away from Northfield!

The service was incredibly kind and welcoming, with the warmth you'd expect from a small-town business. The ambiance was exceptional--from the charming storefront to the inviting interior. They even had toys available for families with young kids, which was a thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed. And the food absolutely won me over. Every bite was packed with flavor, and everything was so tender it practically melted apart. It felt fresh, carefully prepared, and in a completely different league than the typical sandwich chains. Places like Subway simply can't replicate this experience. My only criticism would be the cleanliness of a few surfaces. The counter where I signed my receipt and our table were both noticeably sticky and seemed like they could have used a quick wipe-down. It was an area that stood out but certainly wasn't enough to keep me from coming back! Overall fabulous!!
