I ordered a pie, it was supposed to have happy birthday written on it, and when I got it home it had nothing done to it. Thanks for ruining my birthday surprise. I won't be ordering anything from them again.

Fresh donuts, pies, and other items. Sit inside or order and go. Simple basic café coffee but you really go here for the donuts cash only. Support local for yourself, your community and your taste buds. Service was quick and pleasant.

I really want to like this place. What should be a good bakery in the heart of Essex? Sign me up! But almost every time we order from here, we are disappointed and have to throw away food (and thus our money).
While the prices are very affordable, everything tastes quite old and dry. What prompted me to write today was the monkey bread- totally burned and rock hard, hubby bought it and you can’t even eat it! Check the pics, those aren’t black raisins on the top, I broke off a bit to check- it was charcoal and I had to spit it out. The monkey bread literally is inedible and leaves a bad taste.
How a bakery stays in business with poor quality bakery items for 50+ years, I really don’t know, but obviously it has a devoted following. There are always old folks there hanging out, so clearly they love it. We try going a couple times each year hoping it will get better, but no luck so far. Also why do they only take cash? Are all purchases under the table? So inconvenient and really ostracizing in today’s world. Get a square reader at least! Will we be back? Maybe…maybe not. Sadly there aren’t a lot of other options
