Sadie and Josie's Bakery — Restaurant in La Center

I have had the AMAZING pecan bars brought home to me from this bakery, but haven't gone in until today. We came in for their donuts and to see what other goodies we might want, and everyone was so friendly, and the place was clean and looked like a storybook version of a country bakery; right down to the uniforms of the great staff. We took way too long making up our minds on what to get because everything looked so good, but finally settled on some donuts and a blackberry coffee cake. I had a buttermilk bar with raspberry so far, and honestly, I didn't know what a donut could be until trying this masterpiece. From the slight crunch on the exterior, to the perfectly soft and fluffy interior, to the excellently balanced flavors, it could easily be considered the best thing I ever ate, donuts edition. I'm sure the coffee cake I'm hoping makes it tomorrow will be just as good, given this bakery's track...

Usually I would give them 5 stars. But I knocked them down one star for not listing their closing time correctly the day before Thanksgiving online, thereby causing me to miss out on planned menu items. I knocked off another star because while still parked outside closed doors I was able to talk to a departing employee. While she was polite, she was totally unconcerned about the problem. The best response she could come up "we posted on Facebook," implying it was my fault I checked the online listing, instead of Facebook. Shame on me. Another potential customer arrived and she gave him even less of an apology... not rude...just unconcerned about the problem the early closing was causing. He did not sound any happier than I felt. The employee left and as I was pulling out a 3rd customer pulled in. You have to wonder how they took the early closing. My money...

I write reviews very very rarely, but I had to sit down and write a review for this bakery. I’m a huge cheapskate and usually I’d scoff at a $10 box of cookies. Here though? It’s WORTH IT. Literally sooo good. It is a CANT MISS stop. Every single thing we’ve tried here has just been 🤌. If you are going here for the first time though, I’d highly recommend asking for any of the workers/bakers recommendations on what to try and TRUST them. You might be like: “but that thing doesn’t loooook as good as this other thing” You would be wrong. They are right and know what’s up and just mmmm, delicious (I mean, everything in the store is so good so you’re not going to go wrong either way, but) Anyway, it’s is a MUST STOP for...
