Five Kids Bakehouse — Restaurant in Town of Butternuts

Do you want a small mom-and-pop that's LITERALLY a mom and pop running it (because they have five kids!)? Then you NEED to go to Five Kids Bakehouse in Gilbertsville!

So shocked, in fact, that we ate them all and went back for more an hour later - only to find that they were nearly sold out of everything (people come on the weekend to stock up for the upcoming week).
