Before leaving the Homestead Heritage area, we made one final stop at the Homestead Market. I'm…read moreglad we did because this place was the perfect way to wrap up our visit. The market is exceptionally clean, well organized, and beautifully maintained. Everything was neatly displayed, making it easy to browse without feeling rushed. Working behind the counter was Ms. Jenna. She greeted us with a warm smile and a friendly, welcoming attitude that made us feel right at home. She kindly let us know that if we needed anything, all we had to do was ask. We took our time wandering through the store, looking at all the unique items they had to offer. I couldn't leave empty-handed, so I picked up two bags of their chipotle-flavored pecans as souvenirs for my brothers. Whether they'll share them with anyone else is another story entirely. The Homestead Market is a really neat place and well worth a visit. I have no doubt I'll be back the next time I'm in the area. Maybe I'll see you there!

They have THE BEST apple fritters in world. But the deliciousness doesn't stop there, as their breakfast croissants were flaky, warm, cheesy and oh so filling. The owner told us people had also raved about the homemade iced coffee so we of course had to try it and it was worth all the rave. Made with condescend milk it is sweet, creamy, and perfectly delightful! The costumer service was also top tier. We stayed for an extra 30 minutes just conversing with the owner and her young child, who had a blast playing with our young kids. Overall the experience was more than 5 stars. This place deserves all the service and ratings and your belly deserves these donuts!!

As we wandered around Heritage Homestead, we eventually stumbled upon the Homestead Tea House and…read moreGritsmill, both conveniently located in the same building. The moment you step through the door, it's as if you've been transported back in time to a simpler era where life moved a little slower and everything was made with care. Side note: I completely regret not getting the names of the two young ladies working in the Tea House and the gentleman operating the Gritsmill. Rookie mistake on my part. But I digress. While chatting with the young ladies, they shared some fascinating history about the mill. They told me the gristmill itself was transported all the way from New Jersey to its current home. Even more impressive, the millstone still being used today to grind wheat into flour is over 200 years old and came from France. Talk about a piece of living history! The store itself is spotless, neatly organized, and exceptionally well maintained. The two young ladies were friendly, welcoming, and eager to answer questions and help however they could. Now for the important stuff--the goodies. They make their own cookies, including oatmeal and chocolate chip, along with fresh scones and pastries. Naturally, I exercised great self-control and bought one of each to enjoy later with a cup of coffee. It seemed like the responsible thing to do. From the Gritsmill, we picked up two bags of grits, some scone flour, and a small jar of peanut butter. Unfortunately, we were still stuffed from lunch and couldn't do the Tea House justice by enjoying a cup of tea. Sometimes life presents difficult challenges. Needless to say, we'll be returning, and I can hardly wait. If you find yourself at Heritage Homestead, be sure to stop by the Tea House and Gritsmill. Who knows, maybe I'll see you there.

There is a small store attached, which has various baking mixes (regular and gluten-free pancake mix, bread mix, muffin mix, etc), jams, honey, and fruit butters. Most are made on the premises, but a few are from other local farms.

Hi Everyone! Oak…read morestreet bakery is definitely the bomb! We were recommended going to this place as we were looking for kolaches, instead of the big touristy place everyone goes to! I Must say, we were not stirred wrong! Oak Street is just a tiny little bakery. No place to sit. Heck, almost no place to stand and you definitely HAVE TO GO! The Kolache's are absolutely amazing! So light and tasty. And, tons of flavors to choose from! I also got a sausage roll which was incredible as well. Oak street also had other pastry's and pies. If you need advice on what to choose, just ask. The service was warm and friendly. If you're in the area, this is a must stop! Jim

So everything was decided on the phone and email. We had her make 3 cakes; strawberry for the bridal cake, chocolate for the groom's cake and another vanilla cake in order to server 150 guests. My wife sent pictures of the decorations for the bride and groom's cake. The cake arrived timely and was decorated beautifully. The best part is that everyone loved the cakes!! There was not one piece left except the top piece saved for the bride and groom. We had that the next day when our family (and the bride and groom) got together for lunch. It was too good to store in a freezer for a year! The cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend this bakery. I will stop by on my way to visit my daughter to pick up cupcakes!!
