Pro Tips
- 1.Arrive early in the morning (before 10am) for the best selection of fresh pastries and a quieter, more relaxed experience with little ones
- 2.Let kids choose their own treat from the bakery case - the decorated sugar cookies are always a hit and keep prices parent-friendly
- 3.Grab sandwiches to-go and head to nearby Jarboe Park (5 minutes away) for a picnic lunch with playground fun
- 4.The deli sandwiches are generously sized - consider splitting one between younger kids or saving half for a beach snack later
- 5.Free parking is available right in front, making it easy to pop in with strollers or sandy beach kids
Best Time to Visit
Weekday mornings between 8-10am offer the freshest selection and smallest crowds. Avoid weekend late mornings (10am-noon) when the post-beach brunch crowd arrives. Stop by on your way to the beach rather than after, when kids are tired and sandy.
What to Know
Very budget-friendly with most pastries under $5 and sandwiches around $8-10. Parking is convenient with spaces right out front. Counter service keeps things quick and casual - perfect for wiggly kids who can't sit still for long.
Seasonal Notes
Open year-round. Summer months (June-August) see heavier traffic from beach-goers, especially on weekends. Consider visiting during slower winter months for a more relaxed experience, or stop by during fall and winter holidays for seasonal decorated cookies and treats.
