Red Knot Bakery — Restaurant in Truro

Well, decided to try this spot around Valentine's Daysince I got a Facebook notification regarding some treats for someone's sweets...I ordered too much...as usual, but even a tiny crumb did NOT go to any type of waste ( oh, ok my waist..ah me). In theory, I ordered for 'my sweetheart' 4 cannelloni ( a weakness); 4 dark chocolate truffles; 4 chocolate cream puffs and 6 strawberry cream puffs( I just had a feeling they'd be good). Everything was amazing.SO yummy.I almost put myself ( and my partner) in a coma..So began my ongoing love of this delightful, talented person(s)..the croissants..( usually plain, almond, chocolate and chocolate nutella) over the moon delicious. Recently the danishes have been strawberry shortcake, tastes exactly like it; cherry cream, so good, and now offering savory ones. The other baked goods she offers are mostly sourdough breads, very healthy muffins and cookies.I have yet to try these as I have some food allergies and issues. They are usually busy so it helps to call ahead. Also I have yet to learn their names so I can thank them personally. Your taste buds will be forever in your debt for trying anything...

So here's my thing, this would be 5 stars if it wasn't so mismanaged. In the time I was there I saw take out orders brought back due to mistakes, mistakes on Food coming out, and atleast 2 people leave give up after waiting in like for 10-15 minutes to name a few things.

Food was great but it's unbelievably slow but not for your standard busy reasons. First of all if you're just getting a pastry or coming in for breakfast it's all one line, they don't have someone taking orders at tables when they could. I've been in to both eat breakfast and just grab a pastry, both times it took forever. My advice, as there were 3 of you, tell people to sit and have one person taking orders, running food, cleaning tables all that stuff, have one person cooking and have one person working cash/helping where needed when cleared out.

Anyways it has potential to be amazing but holy cow somebody with some restaurant management type experience just needs to right the ship a bit and you'll get way more...

We just tried the Red Knot bakery for the first time and we are absolutely in love. We tried the plain croissant, the chocolate croissant and the banana chocolate hazelnut danish and they were to die for! These are at the top of our list for best croissants ever. We also grabbed an Americano and a latte which were delicious and we bought a loaf of country bread for later. Super excited to try that too as I’m sure it will be amazing like the rest. you can tell they do great business because there is a lineup of people waiting to get pastries, so come early! Super happy to have this gem in Truro! Looking forward to...
