Moon Raccoon Baking Company is incredible! I discovered them through their amazing pastries at a farmers market during the pandemic and I have followed them all over the place ever since. I'm so glad they have a brick & mortar now.

Finally, there are not enough bakeries in this world named after nocturnal omnivores native to the Americas. ...
