I was lucky enough to get regular weekly bread deliveries from Box Turtle Bakery for awhile there…read more I happened to be on Abraham's weekly route, so it worked out. Now I'll have to actually venture out to Carrboro's Farmer's Market or South Estes Farmer's Market to get his home baked breads and treats. And when I say home baked, I mean literally baked in the special custom designed wood burning bread baking oven attached to the home bakery in his house. Abraham's philosophy is to work closely with local farmers and use fresh milled organic and local grains for his breads and other baked goods where ever possible. Of course, he sells locally too. If you can't get to him at the farmer's markets, you can always work out a time to pick up your order at the Bakery itself. What can I say? You have to work for it a bit, but it sure is worth it. Oh, and just to trip you up, expect some variety! Abraham likes to try new and different recipes and there's something interesting to sink your teeth into and wake up your taste buds just about every week. Disclaimer: I count Abraham as a friend so, yes, I'm pretty excited about what he's doing. But, come on... this isn't some spongy boring white bread with dubious nutritional value we're talking about. This is SERIOUS BREAD! Don't even tell me your mouth isn't watering right now. Mine sure is!

My go-to coffee shop when I'm in Chapel Hill, visiting from California…read more Iced maple latte (12 oz, not the 16 oz because the 16 oz has too much milk in it for my liking).

I've always received great service. Recently I went and got a chai latte which was pretty standard. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed by my chocolate eclair. The taste was good but the eclair shell was not fresh and did not taste light, airy, and delicately crisp to complement the cream.... I'll come again to try other pastries but will not be getting the eclair again.

However, the selection of baked goods and desserts was robust, and I found plenty of interest. Notably, their tough to spell name denotes a small chocolate cake with indulgent toppings. I also found a trendy Dubai chocolate dome (not wildly overpriced as such things often are), which was quite rich. Their breads are marked as vegan where applicable; obviously a lot of bread is vegan, but this is a helpful bit for some.

She specializes in the Italian tradition (and will throw in a sample biscotti if you ask) but honestly everything we tried was fantastic. The chocolate espresso cake had me over the moon... I was supposed to share and had to order a 2nd one Also the coconut pumpkin custard and gingerbread were a hit at our thanksgiving table! With the holidays approaching, Bake me Happy has holiday cookie specials, you can order over the phone or on facebook and they'll ship your loved ones christmas cookies fresh from the oven! What more could you ask for? So happy to see a bakery like this open in the area. The owner is also a proponent of healthful eating and offers vegan, keto , gluten free and low sugar/diabetes friendly choices for everyone and can make custom treats around your specific dietary needs.

All we wanted was an almond cake with fresh strawberry filling. Cool. I pick it up and there are no strawberries on top and when we cut into it, it's raspberry. I called and they asked how to make it right so I asked for the correct cake I had ordered and I'd pick it up in a few days as we were headed out of town for her bday. Pick up the new cake and the filling was like Walmart jam. It was so bad. I'm sad because I trusted them and always try to support small business but never again.
