I'd been watching this new business preparing to open and serve the community. It finally did open a couple months ago, so I decided to try it out. First, it's hard to tell if they're open. The signage is not very visible and if you don't drive in the parking lot you might think it's closed. They said they're working on it. I hope they do.
Now, I went in with excitement, hoping that it's even better than I expected. I looked around and decided to buy one of all they had available, which was about 6 items. It came to a little under $20, which is a good deal for fresh baked treats. None of them really knocked me off my feet, but they were good and tasty. I figured they'd only been open a couple of days and will get all the baking schedules and help figured out. All in all, the first visit was nice, and I wanted to come back and see if they had any other items I could try.
I went back again, but the baker had taken sick the night before and they had a minimal selection. I just bought cookies and they were ok. I'll try again later I said to myself.
I went a third time and the baker was there. It was still a minimal selection. She said she's still trying to figure the scheduling for baking and the help she needs. I was in the bakery business for 34 years and I know what she's talking about. However, she did have a muffin that I hadn't tried, so I bought 1 of each item again, about $20. I went for the new item first, a Raspberry Muffin. WHOA! Very moist, not too sweet, with the taste of raspberry pleasant but not over powering. This was good!! I almost went back and bought the rest. Also, the cinnamon roll was not iced but very good. I ate that one the next day and it was still moist and tasty! Kudos to Kayleen the Baker for a job well done.
If the baker can maintain a consistency in her baking, supply enough product for purchase, and get her scheduling figured out to produce the freshest items for sale, she will be a success. The customer service is wonderful, and it's nice to talk to the person who actually baked the items. If the business can get the signage right so people know they're open, and be consistent in baking, this place will be well worth a visit.
Lastly, I haven't tried the ice cream yet but it looks fantastic! The flavors are unique and look tasty. I'm waiting for warmer days, but I might try it anyway. Perhaps a good scoop of coffee flavored ice cream with that raspberry muffin. The store is very inviting to just sit and taste. Plenty of seating. Give it a shot. Don't just try one thing. You might find a special item that makes...
   Read moreAs a native of Apple Valley, I remember when the shopping center where 21st Amendment is located was the heart of town. Over 50 years later, the center has seen its share of wear and tear, but I believe 21st Amendment might just be the spark to revitalize this area.
I'm the administrator of a very popular local Facebook group, and about two weeks ago, several members were raving about this new ice cream and bakery spot in The Village. Many claimed it was home to the best sourdough bread and ice cream in town. Naturally, I had to see for myself.
I stopped by after picking up my son from Granite Hills High School, which is conveniently nearby. What a pleasant surprise! I met Jonathan, the owner, who was behind the ice cream bar offering some incredible, freshly made flavors. I tried two scoops, and I can confidently say it's some of the best ice cream Iâve ever had in Apple Valley. My son was equally impressed.
On the other side of the store, the bakery was alive with activity, and I saw the hardworking team just starting a fresh batch of sourdough bread. The aromas alone were enough to make me want to take a loaf home.
The decor is inviting, with both indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of spaceâat least until the word gets out. I can easily imagine this becoming a go-to hangout for Granite Hills students, given its walking-distance proximity, and a much-needed destination for the Village area as a whole.
I absolutely recommend 21st Amendment Creamery and Bakery. Great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a sense of communityâwhat more could you ask for? Donât miss...
