I went for cinnamon rolls... they were out today... but there's so much to choose from and the lady at the counter was so sweet, she said call back and she stashed some to the side for me😀 I'm going to call next time before going...I love this place 🍪
Stopped in at Ginger's Bread & Co. and love the vibe. I grabbed an assortment of things for a girls brunch. The everything bagel croissant with cream cheese is legit—flaky, savory, and super satisfying. They have muffins, scones, challah, cookies, bread and other baked goods. Parking is easy, space is unique and clean and the folks are friendly. Pricing is super affordable, cheaper by weight than store brand. Highly recommend placing a pre-order or stopping by soon.
This place is a gem. We were driving around after eating lunch looking for something sweet and wanted to try out a new spot. This came up on Google and we decided to try it out. They have such a nice, diverse collection of treats including pastries, croissants , cookies AND cinnamon rolls. They also have an assortment of handmade items /gifts from local artists such as jewelry, hats, art, etc. Okay back to the goodies. I got the bourbon almond chocolate croissant, an espresso chocolate chip cookie and a bag of challah rolls. My sister said the cinnamon roll was the best she has ever had. The croissant is also on point. The challah rolls? So soft and the perfect amount of sweetness. Last but not least, the guy who checked us out had a great personality and was genuinely kind. We will definitely be back.
Second-best sourdough bread in town (yes, we don’t have many options, still - this is good if a bit uneven). If you are on the fence about bread with a crust, come on Saturdays between 3 and 4pm for half-price breads, there just may not be any left. If you like classic sandwich bread, talk to them. They sell a soft crust sourdough to local restaurants, so they might add it to their regular offerings. Also, I took one of their focaccia breads to a party - everyone loved it (dipped in a little olive oil or straight up).
If you love the smell of freshly baked goodies, this is your place. They have many different kinds of breads, croissants, muffins, banana bread, cookies, breakfast pastries- all sorts of tempting stuff. They bake fresh with good ingredients. Try to visit them in the morning. Otherwise things run out quickly. Don’t miss their savory scone with cheddar and bacon. That’s too good. You will get previous day’s stuff in discounted rate too. Check this incredible place out. It’s near the Kroger grocery on union.
