The Midwife and the Baker is a popular spot, known for its freshly baked goods. Their breads, including flaky items and croissants, are particularly praised. The seasonal muffin and everything croissant are also highlights. The bakery offers a variety of products, including ham croissants, olive bread, and cookies. While the seating is outdoors and picnic-like, parking can be challenging, especially with RVs blocking space. Despite the unusual warehouse-like location, the bakery thrives, often selling out of its goods.
It’s a great place to stop by quickly in the morning for a pastry or to pick up fresh starter and flour. The open-air setup welcomes kids and animals, and many goods, like the croissants, are loved by children. Fridays bring a coffee truck but also more crowds, so arriving early helps. With great prices and tons of options for vegetarians, it’s a favorite for those seeking quality breads and pastries.
