The Blue Heron is the kind of bakery you instantly wish you had back home. From the moment you walk…read morethrough the door, you're hit with the incredible smell of fresh pastries and baked goods. My wife and I were visiting the area and happened to stumble across this charming spot, and we're so glad we did. They offer a wide variety of European pastries, croissant sandwiches, and other bakery favorites. The standout for us was the brioche donut -- the filling was easily one of the best we've had, both in flavor and generosity. Every bite was packed perfectly. We also tried the breakfast croissant, which was delicious, but the white cheddar truly took it to another level. We noticed they also host cooking classes, which looked like such a fun experience. If we lived nearby, this would absolutely become a regular date night spot or a great activity with friends. Definitely a memorable find while traveling.

The other definitely made up for them though!!!!!!

The side salad was a fresh spring mix with a light vinaigrette that paired nicely with the meal. Service was friendly, attentive and made you feel at home. Definitely a cozy spot to start the day.

YUM AND YUM. We arrived right after opening and were seated immediately (but it filled up quick on…read morea Sunday morning!!). Started off with the orange zest caramel latte and it was great: noticeable orange flavor, not overwhelmingly sweet, and served hot in a big campfire-style mug. We split the "super basic brekky" (biscuit, 2 fried eggs, 2 sausage patties, and a side of dressed greens) and the "bean gurlie" hashbrown bowl (hashbrown casserole, fried eggs, beans, onions, peppers, cheese. Also came with a side of dressed greens). Portions were filling and everything was DELICIOUS. The biscuit was our favorite part of the meal (tall, fluffy, amazing), but the sausage and the hashbrown casserole were close contenders. I'm not a huge greens person at breakfast, but whatever they dress them with was super tasty and I loved it. Decor gives thrifted grandma vibes in the most fun and curated way. Staff was very efficient and kind. We'll absolutely be back!

We kept it simple with an everything bagel with plain cream cheese and a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese. Both were delicious--perfectly chewy with a crisp crust, just what you'd expect from a true New York bagel. They were also very generous with the cream cheese. Counter service was quick and friendly. Parking and seating options were plentiful, and the outdoor patio was a great bonus. We're already looking forward to our next visit to try the smoked salmon bagel.

Thankfully, my trusty list of Yelp restaurants was handy, and I searched through ones that offered dessert and found this gem. We went on a weekday after 5 PM and surprisingly, we were able to slip right into a curb parking spot. This area is super cute and I was quite excited to try Prairie Pie for the first time. We made our way inside and were immediately greeted by someone at the counter. She was very nice and informative, took our order after giving us a moment to review the menu, and then we took a seat. We purchased an assortment of cookies and a couple slices of pie to sample there and at home, in addition to a chai tea latte and a lemonade to drink. The chai tea latte was for me and it was delicious. It was topped with whipped cream and what I believe with cinnamon. It was a warm tea and very good. It's probably one of my favorite chai tea lattes that I've ever had honestly. It definitely kicked Starbucks in the bum. I had the honey and sea salt pie while I was there, and I have some cookies and a slice of pumpkin pie to try at the house. The honey sea salt pie was delicious. It had a very generous honey flavor and the sea salt cut the sweetness in such a perfect way. It was a beautiful balance between sweet and salty. My husband enjoyed his confetti cookies and his lemonade. They also offer entrée options of various sandwiches and more. Unfortunately, we had dinner prior, so I didn't pay much attention to that part of the menu since we just came for a dessert, but I'm looking forward to going back and trying some of those options next time. Highly recommend stopping by Prairie Pie for a quick bite. The honey sea salt pie is one of my new favorites. Looking forward to seeing what other options they have in the future. Also, while you're here, make your way over to the store across the brick path. I can't recall the name of it, but it's a super cute little shop with lots of unique things to purchase. We were very pleased with our trip to this area and can't wait to go back
