I had heard good things about T Distefano's bakery before and happened to be in Mebane for the day…read more I'm so glad I was because everything we tried was delicious. The shop has the display cases right when you walk in the door and there is a little cafe area off to the right which seemed cute. We were greeted when we walked in and the girl who helped us gave us plenty of time while we decided what to order. I asked what her favorite thing was that they had and she told me the danishes or the cheesecakes. I ended up ordering several things to try: a glazed donut, glazed raspberry filled donut, powdered raspberry filled donut, cheese danish, chocolate chip cookie, and cinnamon roll. The donuts and cinnamon roll were given to family who already knew how good the donuts were and we tried the chocolate chip cookie and cheese danish. The chocolate chip cookie was huge, chewy, and had a great flavor. I think my favorite thing I tried was the cheese danish. The dough was buttery and the filling wasn't too sweet. It was a great suggestion from the girl working there. Also, all of this was under $18 which is crazy. Will definitely be coming back.

I was able to try the spicy beef and regular beef empanada that both have a mixture of veggies such as picadillo con queso. I love the flavor of the flaky pastry filled with meaty goodness. The service was amazing the lady at the front might have been the owner and she was wonderful! The empanadas come in an order of three to choose from different types. They also sell desserts and typical sweets. The last thing I ordered not pictured was the sourdough. FRESH and warm sourdough loaf that was perfect, it had a toasty outer and moist on the inside i loved that it was a bit sweet as well.

That said, Lou's has the best selection of baked goods in downtown Mebane, hands down and their offerings rotate pretty regularly so you can change it up day to day. They recently upped their coffee game to a local roaster and that was a welcome sight, though no espresso drinks... yet. Conveniently located at the intersection of Clay and Fourth, right next to the farmer's market lot, and with ample parking, as well as a bike rack, pocket park to enjoy your baked goods and coffee. My only gripe... and it's a minor one is the density of their croissants... IMO, they are a bit dense, slightly too "doughy", but very, very flavorful. I just think they could stand to a little lighter and flakier. I love their cream pies and just wish for some fresh strawberries (when in season) to go with them. I've not had a bad baked good from here and that's saying something. Consistency is spot on! Don't hesitate to stop in and treat your sweet tooth.

They also have hot breakfast sandwiches if that's something you're in the mood for this is my first time visiting, but I could tell that they had amazing donuts by the line and the group of people inside I felt that the prices were average, specially since their homemade. I got my favorite pastry- an apple fritter and some cake donuts. They did not disappoint. They were the perfect balance of soft and sweet without being too cakey or too sugary. They have a big assortment. It's not on my regular commute, but it would definitely be worth stopping by if I'm in the area.

Surprised with a visit to the commissary and I was not disappointed!…read more The service was so attentive from the second we walked in to the minute we walked out. I enjoyed seeing all the dog pictures covering the walls. The pastries here all looked amazing especially the sourdough chocolate chip cookies! I tried the sourdough pizzas they make on the wknds and enjoyed every last bite. The crust is just so perfect, it makes a nice crisp noise as you bite into it but still has that nice chewiness to it that makes a sourdough perfect! the buffalo mozzarella mixed with the garlic sauce was so great however I wouldn't mind a drizzle of buffalo sauce over the pizza for an extra kick. I also tried a sip of their cortado coffee which is true what they say puerto rican coffee is the best coffee!!! Loved it!

We were waiting on a table at a restaurant nearby and figured we'd walk around the community while…read morewe waited. As we walked, we stumbled upon The Commissary and their sign, "Food. Coffee. Horses. Dogs. VETERANS," drew us in. This establishment is so much more than a coffee shop. We loved everything about them, the passionate people who volunteer their time to the mission, the incredible animals that they rescue, rehab, train and pair with veterans, their baked goods, and their coffee. EVERYTHING! They sell a variety of baked goods including muffins, pastries, cookies, sourdough cinnamon rolls, sourdough bread, and coffee from a small farm in Puerto Rico. Everything we tried was delicious and although we were on a time crunch and couldn't stay, there is plenty of room to sit and relax while enjoying your goodies inside. All proceeds go to help veterans integrate back into "normal" life after military service. This is just an ounce of what they are about, so definitely stop by, learn more, and support their life changing programs by grabbing a bite and a coffee!

I live in MA and needed to…read morelocate a bakery to create and deliver an amazing cake, so I searched the internet for bakeries in Burlington (NC) and located Main Street Cake Shoppe. After spending time on their website, their FB page and reviewing YELP, I decided to "go for it" and place an order for a cake similar to one that I saw on their FB page. I completed the "contact us" form and waited. And waited. I ended up phoning after a few days and spoke with April, who...in the beginning, wasn't very helpful with flavor combinations (suggested I check the site) but was very pleasant and patient while I did so. Ultimately, the cake was done (on time) and April even texted me a pic. They also delivered directly to my daughter exactly during the timeframe that we discussed. The cake was beautiful, the exact color combo that I requested...and hand painted to boot! I ordered pink champagne for the first tier and coconut for the second. I obviously didn't taste it but my daughter said that it was amazing!!!! All's well that ends well!!! Next time I'm in Burlington, I'm definitely stopping by to say thanks personally! They played a major part in making my daughter's 21st birthday very special!!! Thanks Main Street Cake Shoppe!

The space is a bit tiny so seating is a little limited, but it wasn't packed when I went in so getting a seat was not an issue. Their case is filled with a HUGE variety of treats. I was definitely pleased to see all the different types of baked goods provided by the place. There was a lot of things that caught my eye but ultimately i decided to go with a tiramisu cup and another tiramisu baked good (reminded me of a cupcake but wasnt one). I will say the flavors were definitely there for both treats. The cup was delicious and was very rich I would definitely get it again. The baked good was personally not my favorite. It was a little too hard but the top was delicious. I would definitely go back in and try out some of their other treats that are not just tiramisu. I definitely encourage everyone to go check out this little spot if you're in the mood for a little treat.

I went in one day after lunch about a year ago and was completely overwhelmed because everything looked so good and I didn't order a thing. Stopped by yesterday and now I'm hooked! If you read my other reviews, you'll see where I tried another bakery's cinnamon buns twice and just was not a fan. Biggest critic was the lack of cinnamon in the cinnamon bun - this one is the opposite. There is cinnamon in every single bite - they even do the cinnamon-sugar on the bottom of the pan to ensure the crusty sweet goodness on their buns! This is definitely in my top list of cinnamon buns. The dough is so good and soft, the icing is to die for, and you know you'll get cinnamon in every bite just by looking at it! This is where I'll be going from now on when I don't want to make a batch at home! I also got the cookie butter cheesecake - how have I lived my life this long without trying this? Cheesecake, caramel and cookie butter in every bite! The cheesecake is super fluffy and I can't wait to try more of their flavors. I got my husband an ooey gooey chocolate chip cookie and we were both delighted with the flavor - it's the perfect balance of browned butter and bittersweet chocolate! He can't wait to give their oatmeal raisin cookies a try. For five in the evening, this place was hopping by the time I left. There was initially one person ahead of me and one behind the counter and as folks came in, two more came out the back to help! Everyone was super friendly and helpful! The shop itself is cute! I love walking in to see display case after display case of baked goods - all of them looking amazing! They also sell ice cream and coffee here! Definitely a bakery I will be frequenting often!
