I'm a sucker for pastries and breads, and though this bakery is about 2 minutes from my house, in 20 years I never tried this local bakery. This morning though I took a little detour on my way to work and jumped in to see what they had.
They have a number of baked pastries including strudels, doughnuts, croissants, cinnamon buns and cookies. Prices were $1.50 per pastry (or $8 for 6) and $0.80 per cookie. I tried a doughnut and chocolate croissant, and while both were OK, but they didn't stand out from what you could get at any other bakery, or even your local supermarket. They weren't bad though. To be fair, I don't have a toaster oven at work to heat up the croissant.
They sold pies for $7, but when asked when they were baked they said last Wed or Thurs, so I didn't pick one up. the lady said they usually bake them once a week. I wouldn't be surprised if they did that with a lot of their pastries and baked goods.
They had some buns as well that looked alright, and sold delis and meats as well. Nothing looked especially good, pretty standard fare.
You get a free pound cake if you spend more then $30 at the bakery. (while quantities last).
So to sum up, if you live in the area it's not a bad bakery and you'd get fresher food than the Food Basics that is in the same plaza, but the prices are average for a bakery or supermarket. You may want to ask when they make a fresh batch of baked goods so you can time it and get freshly baked goods.
