I found myself in Boardman, Ohio recently and stopped at a small strip mall along the way. I noticed a bakery and thought I'd give it a try. I am so glad I did! The bakehouse was having a soft opening and this was their first day. The owners, Jon and Christy, explained they had been running their business out of their home kitchen for five years. Jon joked he wanted his kitchen back.
Don't let the small storefront fool you - this is a bakery, or course, but they also serve a delicious coffee from the Dominican Republic. A comfortable seating area behind the front counter offers couches and chairs and a small counter to enjoy your selections.
I had the Blueberry Crumb Cake and a cup of coffee. The cake was freshly baked and delicious and the coffee was bold and freshly brewed. I completely enjoyed my treats here.
Now for the maintenance items - the restaurant was clean and inviting. The restroom was clean as well. The chairs and couches in the lounge area were comfortable and relaxing.
So if you happen to be in Boardman, Ohio and you need a special treat, stop in to The Bakehouse - you'll be very glad you did! I know I was. read more
