The Bakery


We have this bakery about three quarters of a mile down the street from our house.  We love it there.  We usually walk down on the weekends in nice weather and get breakfast.  They are a bread bakery, not a sweets bakery, although they do have cookies and granola.  They also have samples of the fresh baked bread and they will give you as many slices of fresh bread at no charge.  They have butter you can put on yourself, but really, the bread is so good you don't need it. The best thing about the bakery, though, is the dough table.  They have a child sized table with old pans and muffin tins and rolling pins and they put breaddough out for the kids to play with.  It is awesome.  Will and I get to have coffee together, and the girls don't ever want to leave.  Allie made a little man out of dough to drive a toy car they had one day, so funny.  They are forever making cookies and cakes out of dough for us, and we make yummy noises and everyone is happy.  When we went sledding a few weekends ago, we stopped there on the way home, and warmed up with some yummy sandwiches and coffee.  It is so cheap to eat there, and everyone loves it.  I can't wait until it is spring so we can start our Saturdays at the Bakery again.

Oh yum. Major yum. Now I want fresh baked bread.

The dough boy is a little disturbing though...

Yum, fresh bread!

There was a great bakery place in Newburyport we liked, Annarosa's, but they didn't have a fun kids area like yours.
