7 Best Bakeries near Mountainhome

“The Daily Bread Bakeshop is a European-style artisan bakery that opened in Mountainhome, Pennsylvania in 2003. It was founded by husband and wife Kevin & Traci Conroy. After his family relocated to the Poconos from Long Island, Kevin worked in a number of country inns; first as a waiter and then as a chef. He met Traci at the Pump House in Canadensis; she was a waitress and he was the sous chef. They married a year later and began a catering business that they ran for nine years. For years, Kevin kept his eye on a little circa-1910 shop building in Mountainhome. The Conroys finally bought it in 2002 with a dream of opening their own bakery. Kevin never worked as a baker until he opened up the bakery. He was a completely self-taught baker and chef. While Kevin spent most of his time focusing on baking all of the breads from scratch, Traci focused on baking the pies, cookies and pastries. Kevin sadly passed away in 2019, but Traci and their adult children Nicole and Philip are continuing his dream and legacy at the bakery. My family and I recently visited The Daily Bread Bakeshop while we were spending Memorial Day weekend in the Poconos. We had driven by it during other times that we stayed in the Poconos, and thought we should stop by one morning and grab something for breakfast. The place was packed when we stopped in, but the air smelled so good. The small shop had a great selection of various bread loaves, cookies, pies, croissants, bagels, rolls, cupcakes and brownies. We decided to get a loaf of Lemon Blueberry Sourdough, a loaf of Jalapeño Popper Sourdough (loaded with Cheddar Cheese and Jalapeños), and a Dark Chocolate Peppermint square. Everything that we purchased was delicious and so fresh tasting. We'll definitely be stopping back again the next time we're in the Poconos.“

“I have been wanting to stop bye and sample their delightful treats and glad I did, bought some cookies and chocolate cupcakes and a crumb cake slice. The baker/owner was attentive to my requests and made a number of suggestions and placed them in a box for me. When you’re looking to treat yourself after a long day or week look no further!! ENJOY!!!!“

“Enjoyed a quick breakfast there before we left to get back home to Ontario. We tried their new strawberry items; croissant French toast, cheesecake stuffed pancakes and the strawberry crispers. Food was decent. Service was decent. Restaurant itself could use a facelift or upgrade. Overall a good experience and we will return when we go back to the Kalahari waterpark in the Poconos! ?“

“If the amount of time we spent here is any indication... we loved it! We spent 2 hours exploring the menu and enjoying our couples' time together. The place is very cozy and intimate. They have a retro, warm, inviting decor with a notable single tapered candle surrounded by a glass chimney on the counter. The kitchen is very small but packed with some fun, top-level, modern equipment. We started with a sage tea, a very berry smoothie, lox, and a ham and cheese croissant sandwich with a side salad. Later, we tried a matcha affigato, blueberry muffin, and a vanilla latte to conclude our visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will return! There is a spa and inn attached, which we hope to check out in the future! There are about 6 tables outdoors over two separate areas, which would be fun to relax at when the weather is warmer. They were very friendly and welcoming during our extended stay.“

“Phenomenal! We stopped here for breakfast on our way home from a weekend in Mt Pocono. The staff was friendly and attentive, food was delicious, and the building itself has a very warm, comforting atmosphere. Will definitely come again if we’re in the area :)“

“I have REALLY good bagels in my area so I was a little hesitant about finding a good bagel place while we were at Great Wolf Lodge. Just want to confirm that these bagels are legit. Sausage egg and cheese also very good. Just fyi there's a 75cent charge for credit cards.“
