Bakery this way....

Ok.. so it is late afternoon, early evening and I am driving around.. and I have this overwhelming feeling I need something sweet... Did that ever happen to you?? I know it has... when you become obsessed... you really have to have something sweet, but you just don't know what... so your mind starts to race... thinking what are you going to have... hmmmm.. should I stop at a quick check and get a candy bar... or m&m's....Nah.. that's not what I want...hmmmm... should I go to the local supermarket and pick up ice cream.. no that's not what I am in the mood for either... hmmmm... THEN THERE IT IS.. A sign from above.... or should I say.. A sign on the side of a building.....

 

My truck came to a screeching halt!!

 And in the lot I turned.. .

Hmmmm... Amazingly Delicious!!

Vegan and Gluten Free!

I had to try it!

 

Now as I turned the corner 

 I was welcomed by a warm inviting store front.

Sorta that old town feeling where you feel

all warm and fuzzy inside..

I know you know what I mean.....

I couldn't wait to get inside!!

 

 

The bakery happens to be run by very good friends of mine

Lisa and Anthony!!

They had just moved from their Keyport location to Matawan...

 The decor is very inviting..

In keeping with the "green" feeling,

 they used antique sewing machines as table bases

and antique chalk boards as menus.

 

 

 

How cool is this collection of antique baking tins covering the wall!

 

Now to the important stuff... heehee!!

The menu...

 

Hmmm what to choose... what to choose...

They have cupcakes, muffins, cookies, and specialty items...

100 % vegan

 

 

I "settled" on the Peanut Butter cup
