There is a staff member at the very front that offers samples to help you decide which bag or bags to purchase. This is such a cute and family feel spot. Everyone seemed so happy to be in there and it brought me so much joy. My fiancé and I went with the galena mix which contained cheddar, caramel and kettle corn. It was verrrrrrry good. Next time we'll be more adventurous and try some of their unique flavors.

After visiting Galena many times, we finally made our way to the Galena Bakehouse and we FELL IN…read moreLOVE! We stopped by the first night to pickup some coffee, a chocolate chip cookie treat, and a box of macrons to go. The shop is absolutely adorable from entrance to exit! Even before entering we loved the adorable building with perfect blue paint with white trim on the red brick. The building is well maintained and clean. While it is small, they keep the space streamlined and open. The baked good window, the sweet treats fridge, and coffee/tea areas are all distinct with their own personalities and delicious displays. On top of the clean and inviting space, prices were reasonable for such high quality products and staff were friendly and inviting. The line can sometimes be long, but it is worth the wait. Lots to love here! Back to the food, the chocolate chip cookie didn't make it far. We ate it right outside and loved every decadent bite. The cold brew was refreshing and tasty. We ate the macrons throughout the day and loved every bite! My favorites were the lemon and pistachio. My husband's favorites were the vanilla and birthday cake. The flavors were very prominent and delicious. Yum! Our final day, we wanted to try the breakfast! While I got ready at the Airbnb, my husband went to get the 2 Empanada Meal that comes with a fruit cup. We also got cold brew coffee and a Chipa. Everything was so scrumptious and fresh! The fruit cup was a perfect healthy pair to the baked goods. The empanadas were both great. We tried the "Egg, Sausage, & Cheddar" and "Egg White, Tomato, Basil, Spinach & Parmesan" empanadas. Both were great and we couldn't pick a favorite. We were glad we got both. The chipa was also so good...unlike anything we've had before. Per their website, it is a "Savory Cheese Biscuit made with tapioca flour, Cheddar cheese, & Parmesan cheese. Gluten Free." If you have never tried a Chipa, we would recommend it! And once again, the cold brew was perfect! Galena Bakehouse has won our hearts and tummies! We look forward to stopping by the next time we are in town!

But it's unusual, so I wasn't sure at first how this was going to go. I got chocolate chip cookies and a loaf of cinnamon bread. (Sweet tooth. He bakes savory and gluten-free items, too.) The cookies are great - more on the chewy than crispy side at first. But then they get crunchy . . . if you don't finish them right away. But the cinnamon bread . . . oh my g*d! Have you ever seen a loaf of bread that was so beautiful, such a work of art, that you didn't want to slice into it? Neither have I, until today. I was worried that it was going to be overpoweringly sugary but it's *not*. Mark, the owner, tells me that it's ambrosial as French toast, but I just had a heel, plain, untoasted, unbuttered, and it was perfect in taste and texture. And the customer service! was superb. This was my first order. It was ready early. Mark let me know I could pick it up the next day as scheduled, or pick it up early. Delayed gratification builds character, but I couldn't wait. It was good to meet him and have a little chat. Very enthusiastic about his work, very accommodating - AND he and Falbo help to feed our homeless neighbors with good food, so he's a good Dubuquer, too.

A decent little shop with a wide selection of bulk candy and chocolate. The prices seemed fair,…read morebut like any bulk candy store you have a shop smart. The one thing that stood out to me here was their business model. You aren't allowed to fill your own bags. As you browse you are approached and asked if you need a bag. If the answer is yes the helpers fill the bags for you. You tell them what you want and they get it out of the bulk bins. A little different than other bulk candy stores I've been in before where it's more of less self service. From a health and welfare standpoint I can respect this... From a control standpoint I really wasn't a fan. I want to have the bag in my hand. I know roughly how much a pound weighs in my own hand. It's hard to judge the weight when it's in someone else's.
