I'm an amateur baker so was thrilled that the owners/bakers were happy to chat with me about their process, grains, and sources. We were there later in the day so a lot of the inventory was gone but still managed to grab a rustic loaf and and the last brotchen. Everything was a bit pricier than you might find elsewhere but it comes down to if you want to support small bakers doing things the traditional way and/or want the effects of long-fermented breads. The rustic loaf was decent, if a little gummy. The brotchen, though, was fantastic and I would gladly buy a bag of those to eat with some cheese and good butter for a lighter meal. I'm not often in the area but would love to stop in again and see what's on the ever-changing, seasonal menu.

Whenever I'm back home in Virginia, I will be sure to pick up a treat or two from my beautiful baker Margie. She takes such pride in her baking and it's done with love.

First time to Bolivar Bread Bakery and what a treat this spot is. The smell of bread when you walk…read morein is one of the best ways to welcome you. Fresh baked bread is on the rack when you walk in with many choices of breads (so many sourdough offerings ) and other baked goods such as cinnamon rolls, scones, shortbread, coconut macaroons, pepperoni rolls, etc. We arrived around noon on a Saturday and had plenty of choices. I was interested in their basic sourdough - two sizes available. The smaller ones were still too warm to slice, so I opted for the larger loaf. It's deceiving just how large this loaf is when it's on the rack, but sliced and bagged it was almost the length of my arm! And very reasonably prized at $13. They come in a freezer bag too! I also learned pepperoni rolls are one of the WV state food and this establishment won best pepperoni roll 4 times, so we tried those as well. So very good - it was a pretzel roll with prepperoni inside. We were lucky enough to get 2 or their 4 remaining cinnamon rolls. The lady helping us said they are worth every calorie and she was not exaggerating one bit! We took a bite of them in the parking lot before we left and I walked back in for the last two to take home and freeze. (Sorry for those after me!). They also offer local and delicious sounding jams, cheese, cheese, milks, and some little trays of cheese that would be perfect for an impromptu picnic with one of their pull apart baguettes. They also offer beverages in a cooler case. Super friendly team working there with absolutely high quality and delicious items. Definitely check them out if you visit Harper's Ferry or surrounding areas. I'm sure anyone local also knows how special this place is. Next time I'm back in that area, I'll definitely work Bolivar Bread Bakery into my plans! (There is some (limited) street parking out front and a small parking lot in the back of the building.)

The lady selling them and making them to order is so nice and really puts her heart into every donut. When she hands you a spoon keep it. These are not like regular donuts and honestly i ate every wonderful bite with a spoon. I tell you what, these donuts are close to being luxurious cakes, but technically donuts. She makes them fresh every morning then once you tell her the toppings she disappears into her magic kitchen and lays on all the toppings. Then bam! The best donut you've ever had appears. Trust me you will want to get these donuts and you won't be disappointed. Heads up, the place looks closed and there are no "open" signs, but go in anyways. They are definitely open. I highly recommend this place to locals, visitors, family, friends and the likes! Enjoy!!

I got an iced Turkish rose pistachio latte (less sweet since the flavor combination sounded pretty indulgent) and it was absolutely incredible. It came with cream on top and was honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've had in a long time. I also grabbed an almond croissant, and it may have been the best one I've ever had. Exactly what I needed on a tough hike. The inside feels like a cozy living room with tons of live plants and so many cute little corners to sit and relax. Everything was spotless, the staff were super friendly, and the whole place just had such a welcoming vibe. This added a serious "umph" to our hiking day. Highly recommend if you're in the area! Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars!

If there is a business I am on the search for more than ones coffee-related, it is those of the…read morepastry orientation. And especially ones with doughnuts. Glazed, cake, stuffed, seasonal; I want them all! And I will likely order them all. So by proxy I have a mental list of such establishments that I keep a eye out for (most recently, Voodoo Doughnuts) and Duck Doughnuts is one of them. Little did I know, until just a week ago, that there is a location in Winchester. The morning of my visit could not have been more perfect for a first timer. Rain was drizzling, but not heavy. The sky was overcast. The temps were low, but not frigid. And that Shenandoah Valley wind was just the right amount of chilling. I went in with high expectations. Here's what happened. I began to peruse the menu and soon realized that I would be making many a visit before obtaining a full understanding of all they have to offer. So I settled on the blueberry pancake and the holiday sprinkle (seasonal) with a cup of coffee (only $5.99). What I then learned is that each doughnut is 1) a cake doughnut (just for those who favor/don't favor this type of doughnut), 2) is made to order (as in the toppings and/or stuffing), and 3) they all come out warm! The coffee is a medium roast, but on the darker side. Just a FYI. I sat down at the window bench and looked out on the dismay day that was about to get exponentially better. The doughnuts, for the short period of time they lasted, were a work of art (be sure to check out my photos). They paired well with the coffee and left me wishing I had made the bigger commitment of ordering half a dozen. But there will be more visits in the future. Until then, I recommend you stop in to pick up a few (or more) and know that you can also order ahead of time (via online).

So thankful to have a donut shop that makes a hot and fresh donut to order!…read more My family and I have been here a few times already. We've placed our order at register, through the app, and on their digital screen where you can bypass the line (and get reward points for the app)! The app is definitely the easiest. My go to donut is peanut butter glaze, bacon and marshmallow drizzle. My wife and I just discovered the donut breakfast sandwich. GAME CHANGER!!! The staff and owners have been very welcoming and personal. The inside is very clean, and we thoroughly enjoy the openness where the boys enjoy watching the workers make the donuts. We look forward to continuing to support Duck Donuts and their delicious donuts!
