Some Gluten-free options, our daughter loved the regular cupcakes we got her for her birthday.

Came in because I saw Owner on TV. Very disappointed they were out of many things and the person who waited on me was not friendly. 5-6 people in the back baking and when asked what kind of soups do they make (as it is on the menu). The unfriendly person at the front said rudely " we are not making soups!" Which was not even the question. Perhaps she needs a day off. First impressions mean everything to me. Next time I need anything from a bakery. I will look somewhere else.

Fantastic service and AMAZING food. This is the very definition of neighborhood bakery and you won’t be disappointed! Try their doughnuts or cinnamon rolls…amazing!!! But seriously, everything here is incredible.

Got a cake here over the summer, when I got there they were still frosting it. They gave me the cake it was fine on my drive, I put it in the fridge and it then by the time I took it out to serve the layers had gradually slid apart. I emailed to let them know for their information but never received a response. Things happen with cakes, would have been nice to get a response - poor customer service go elsewhere

Very few people/bakers know how to turn out a great scone. They are either too doughy, dense or heavy and could be used as a doorstop. These
guys make an authentic, super tasty and perfectly textured scone. I love
the savory scones in particular. They are in the neighborhood so I have to be careful or I will be as wide as their display case.

I've been popping in here about 1x per week over the last month for treats: peanut butter cookies, blueberry muffins, turnovers, sticky buns. All have been fabulous.
So glad to continue to have such a great bakery in our neighborhood.

We go from time to time for pastries, which are great. Elephant ears , scones, cupcakes are all delicious. Recently ordered a cake for the first time since the change in ownership. I was extremely happy with the appearance of the cake and the flavors and textures were spot on. This is definitely our bakery from now on.

Elegant and very tasty carrot cake, loaded with good stuff, and a velvety frosting. I'll be back! Owner went above and beyond. Solid customer service.

Special bakery with a nice selection of "out of the oven" pastries, muffins, cupcakes, cakes and more! Just a few blocks from downtown Manchester, parking directly in front. I had the cinnamon roll, scone, and elephant ear... all very good. Cinnamon roll was soft and gooey with a nice balance of ingredients. Scone had a perfect texture with some crunch and great flavors. Elephant ear was crispy and delicious. Counter help was friendly... highly recommend!

1st time in. Chocolate chip cookie was fine, but unfortunately the muffin we got , though sounded nice (maple pecan), was terribly dry and we couldn't eat it. Staff was pleasant. Perhaps just an off day, but bummer for 1st impression.

This is a nice little bakery on Elm Street. I have ordered a number of baked good from this place. The owner, Jon, is very pleasant and professional to work with and he makes the most delicious cakes I've ever had. His prices are reasonable and I think great value for what you are paying.

We ordered a cheese cake for a special,person birthday. We requested some strawberries on top. It was a perfect cake. PLUS a they put strawberry topping on it too. It was a very heavy cake.

It was the hit of the party. Lite and full flavor.

I grabbed a snack of bread pudding. My Irish grandmother made the best BP in the world. I just found the second best.

Last and not least. What makes this a really special place was interacting with the staff! From ordering through pick up just a really friendly crew.

This is a must try

Very friendly staff with great variety of pastries and baked goods. I am so glad I found this local bakery to support with my sweet tooth and can't wait until I have an occasion to try their cakes. Their lunch sandwiches are great too!

Great service, and always a good variety of baked goods, sandwiches and coCakes are amazing and can be made custom as needed. Jon is always coming up with great designs and flavors. If you love cupcakes you need to try BBC's. The frosting and filling is amazing on a wide variety of flavors. Discovering this place during the lockdown has been a bright spot.
