Love their pastries. Great for a treat.
This place is definitely worth a stop. I wish the yarn shop was open when we visited but we'll definitely be back.

Super delicious shop with the most delicious looking pastries. A welcoming yarn shop in the same building. So glad we stopped.

I recently had a really unpleasant experience at a deli run by some older women. The place itself felt off—creepy atmosphere, low inventory, and the bread looked stale. For $17, I expected much better for a sandwich and two donuts.
The real issue happened when I approached the counter. I watched one of the women sweeping trash into a dustpan, and without washing her hands or wearing gloves, she looked at me with an attitude and asked, "What do you want?" I politely ordered a sandwich, and she responded with, "I have to see if we even have bread," which was odd since it wasn’t even lunchtime.
Then she starts making the sandwich—no gloves, no hand washing. I asked her to please wash her hands and wear gloves. She rolled her eyes, didn’t wash her hands, and only put on one glove! She continued to touch the meat and cheese with her bare hands, which was just beyond gross. I politely asked her if she could wash her hands and put on gloves because I had just watched her pick up trash from the ground and handle a dustbin that looked really gross. Anyone working with food, especially making sandwiches, should always be wearing gloves. It's just basic health practice. More than that, it's a sign of respect to your customers. When you wash your hands and wear gloves, it shows that you care about their well-being and don’t want to pass on any germs or contamination. It’s such a simple gesture, but it says a lot about how much you value your guests.
I mentioned it to her colleague, who didn’t seem to care either, so I won’t be going back.

I was gifted a loaf of cinnamon bread from the Dutch Oven Bakery and it was life changing!
My mother and I stopped in one Saturday morning. This was my first time. There was a line, but not a long wait. The options were impossible to choose from. O M G. I ended up getting the pecan sticky bun. I will also get it again lol! I also grabbed a homemade round of sourdough bread. One of the best sourdough I've tasted. If you're passing through Alanson MI this place is a must.

The cinnamon bread is SO good and made the best French toast! They didn't have too many bakery options when we visited, but that's likely due to the fact that we came mid-afternoon. It had to be at least 85 degrees in the bakery/yarn shop, which made it uncomfortable to be there long. We will definitely make this a regular stop when we are in town.

Stopped for the Yarn Shop sign, stayed because the baked goods looked wonderful. They were, and the people there were very friendly!

prices are high, service is pathetic, 3 different workers eating in the kitchen, and 35 minutes to get a bowl of oatmeal and a Reubens sandwich
Literally been coming here for 40+ years and best cinnamon bread and pastries ever. We even have it FedEx to our Colorado home when not in MI. Slice it about an 1/2” wide, butter and then put on broil for a few minutes until golden- then enjoy the best ever!
