THE BAKERY HOUSE LLC — Restaurant in Washington

We have such a great local bakery, and I must say, the experience is both great and concerning. The owner and the staff are nothing short of awesome—friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about their craft. The ambiance transports you to a simpler time, where community and conversation are first.

However, my enjoyment was tempered by a troubling health concern that has become all too common in our modern food industry. They fry their donuts in seed oils, which, let's be honest, are not just oils but should be considered poison. These oils have been linked to a host of health issues, from inflammation to heart disease, due to their high levels of omega-6 fatty acids and the oxidative damage they cause when heated.

I would urge the owners to consider a switch to beef tallow. Not only does it harken back to traditional cooking methods—methods used long before the advent of industrial seed oils—but it's also a healthier alternative with a better fatty acid profile. Beef tallow can withstand higher temperatures without breaking down, ensuring that the donuts are not only delicious but also less harmful to our health.

Let's support our local businesses, but let's also encourage them to make choices that benefit our community's health. Here's hoping for a change to tallow...

(But go in, trust me) They will make special orders tho it's a bit more pricy. It's so worth it. Masters of their craft, This is probably the best review I've ever left an establishment. I always find a con to the pros cause...I'm that kind of guy. The con is that this place will ruin any grocery or gas station imposter cakes for you forever. Little Debbie's? Hostess? No I'll not be having...

I stopped in Sunday morning about 8am. Not too busy. They have quite an extensive collection of bakery items, candy, cookies as well as a breakfast menu. I asked if they had apple fritters. I ordered 2 to go sight unseen. They were HUMONGOUS. One would have been plenty. (Saved one for the following morning). Very fresh and soft with lots of apples. Great little bakery in Washington, IN., a gem in a small town. They're lucky to have a bakery like this. (There are two others in town I didn't get...
