1 year later: Sweet Life of a Baker is a small town bakery with a big heart and some of the best treats your taste buds and tummy could ask for. We live farther away than we would like but since last year we pledged to make a yearly visit to dine on a wonderful breakfast menu and bring home some dessert for later, and here we are. We also pick up some pre-packaged items they sell to give to others!
Everything here is made with heart and impeccable skill. It's probably the freshest food and baked goods in a 3000 mile radius :P. If you ask me what I recommend... Literally everything, just pick what speaks to your taste buds and you'll enjoy a trip to flavor heaven. We got the Bananas Foster, breakfast sandwich, brunch bread to dine on. Incredible! We brought home a half moon, cookie sandwich and rainbow cookie. Let's just say they were meant for after dinner... They never made it to dinner. Perfection!
The place is so delightful and quaint, many people come in just to pick up some treats or pre orders. Some, like us, do find room in the small dining area to sit and take in the kind and quick service. It's also impressive the teams coordination because they are small and there seems to be a steady flow of customers.
So if I haven't convinced you yet. Let me say this directly... Go here, go now. You can thank me later. Enjoy!!
Original review: WOW!!! Happy Anniversary to Sweet Life of a Baker and Happy taste buds and tummy to me!! I don't think I can begin to describe the perfection of everything we experienced here.The box of goodies was a treasure in and of itself, and my wife and I also got the Belgian waffle, chocolate chip sugar glazed bread and the brunch bread. If you love sweet, the chocolate chip bread will sing to you, do you like a better balance the Belgian waffle will scratch your itch, or do you prefer a bit more savory, the brunch bread will take you to paradise.
Everything was beyond wonderful, I'm not just talking just about the food either, the neighborhood, the decor, the ambience and the staff were amazing. The owner and staff were so kind and sociable that even though it was our first time we felt like family.
We may live a bit far away, but rumor has it they do special events, orders, deliveries and we've already decided we are making this at minimum an annual trip.
I can't recommend Sweet Life of a Baker Enough and hope everyone takes the time to...
Read moreIt was my 1st time going to this cute bakery/ cafe. I’ve been wanting to get here for awhile but the hrs never fit the times I was in the area. We went for lunch. The young girl at the register had a hard time getting our 2 entrees to ring up correctly. After 4 attempts & at least 10 min I said maybe she should ask for help. When the girl did ask for help ( to what appeared to be the owner) she finally came out from the kitchen , didn’t address me at the register , told me the total , & took my money without saying thank you!! My friend & I looked at each other surprised at her abrupt manner. Even if you are bothered , had to stop what you were doing , & had to help solve an issue you should still be friendly to the customer. The food was ok for lunch. This lack of friendly & timely customer service made us not want to come back...
Read moreWe hadn't been into the shop in a little while since we've been so busy but we had some time to kill this morning waiting for the Post Office to open. The store was just as welcoming and cozy as always. I was excited to try the Aged Cheddar and Ham Brunch Roll that Andrea came out with a few weeks back. Since we had time to kill, I had it warmed up and decided to dine in rather than get it to go. It surpassed expectations and the bar was set pretty high after all the other items I've had from Sweet Life. The cheddar and ham filling was present in every bite without being overloaded. The star was the dough though; the perfect balance of stretch, chew, and pillowy. It was filling but didn't sit heavy. This might actually be my new favorite item from the savory baked goods and I look forward to other variations of this...
