The Bottom of the Barrel Bakery

Very dry (old? over-refrigerated?) cake. Husband ordered it two weeks in advance, nice people to talk to, even the morning of pickup they called my husband to confirm the flavor, said it'd be ready at 11:00am, we picked up as arranged, it was small diameter but tall, & very nicely frosted & decorated, two thick chocolate cake layers with vanilla frosting between, it LOOKED professional, so it was very disappointing that the cake was so dry, too dry to stay on fork, just crumbled into tiny dry pieces, although the frosting was good. We tried it again the next day hoping it magically became better overnight, but it was even worse the next day, & we threw away half the cake, even though we LOVE desserts & expected to eat cake for two days. A disappointing aspect to a special occasion for our loved one, paid $26.00 plus tip.

Would like to believe it was a one-off but my MIL said she ordered cupcakes for a special occasion last year here and those were really dry too.

A wonderful place to eat and relax! Clean restrooms, checker/ chess boards on tables, clean good food. Inviting atmosphere. Glad we found you!

Everything is made in house. The French Dip was delicious and the Au Juice was so good. The roll was baked in house also. Great service and great food.
I can't wait to try breakfast 🍳 tomorrow morning.

I love this bakery. The staff is always very friendly, and welcoming. The fritters and biscotti are amazing, and I love their coffee. Nothing is overly sweet, which is a huge plus for me. It's my go-to when my kids and I need a treat. ❤️

Great fresh homemade food. I ordered a hamburger and fries. I could tell right away from not only the look but the great taste that those weren't store bought hamburger buns. Those were fresh homemade ones. Awesome! French fries were real french fries not those wimpy ones you get at other restaurants. Loved the food.

I’m all about supporting local businesses, came in to check this place out and got a French dip. It was 99% stale bread and 1% meat and cheese. Spent 15 bucks which is fine but definitely not worth it
