I do recommend Anh’s Bread Therapy; it has a cozy “small shop” feel, excellent quality, and some of the friendliest service I’ve experienced.
I’ve visited twice now (once a few months ago and once recently), and both times were wonderful. Their breads are incredibly fresh, and the desserts are delicious. They seem to keep the menu rotating, which makes every visit exciting because there’s always something new to try.

And I believe she had to have known those two loaves were burnt and overbaked when she sold them to me. ...
Read moreFirst time here and certainly not the last time. I had the Beerbrat Kolache and talk about love at FIRST BITE! It was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. It was so good that I drove back after texting my wife how good it was to get her one as words don’t do it justice. She was amazed as well. The bread is light with a sweet taste that isn’t overpowering. It’s just unlike anything you’ve had in a good way. My friend got the pig in a blanket which was also delicious. I took home a loaf of sourdough - best sourdough I’ve ever had. Do yourself a favor and get there early and enjoy this local gem- the lady who helped us was great in helping us get...
