Do you often sell out of your baked goods?
Sometimes it is difficult to predict the volume of business on any given day. Because our products are baked fresh everyday, once our product is gone, it is gone! We do our best to make enough baked goods for the day. We encourage you to give us a call to avoid disappointment.
When should I come to the shop to receive the best selection?
The earlier the better! Again, it is difficult to predict the volume of business each day, but we encourage you to swing by earlier for the best selection!
