Bakehouse at Maple Lake — Restaurant in Mansfield

If you’re looking for a bakery that will ruin all other pastries for you forever, The Bakehouse at Maple Lake is the place. I stopped in on a Saturday morning and walked out questioning every life choice that led me to not discovering this place sooner.

First up—the pain au chocolat. Flaky, buttery, with just the right amount of chocolate… I’m convinced it was made by pastry wizards. The ham and cheese croissant? Pure, melt-in-your-mouth magic. And the cinnamon bun? Let’s just say I briefly considered moving into the bakery just to have access to these every morning.

Despite a steady flow of customers, the line moved faster than my self-control when faced with a display case full of carbs. The staff? So friendly and helpful that I half expected them to read my mind and recommend my next obsession (they probably could).

Yes, it’s a little off the beaten path, but that only adds to its charm—like a secret society of pastry lovers. Is it the cheapest bakery around? No. But when you’re eating something that rivals top bakeries in major cities, you don’t question the price—you just thank the universe for the experience.

We were able to speak eith the owner and their husband which made the trip even more special 😊 We happened to stop in during their 1 year anniversary and got to taste their special strawberry champagne croissant that was to die for! The chai tea was so flavorful and the cold brew coffee was perfection. My sister ended up buying a wjole loaf of bread lol. 1000/10...

The bread is heavenly. We got the Ciabata buns, and a loaf of Cinnamon twist bread, and had it sliced. Both are excellent! We got a danish to share. One was not enough, we should have gotten two! The Bakehouse at Maple Lake also donates their profits to charity, which makes the bread taste that much better. There is a gift store, and an area to sit and enjoy the goods there. This bakery is a hidden gem, highly recommended, but is also dangerous. Once you taste their bread, you...
