Orchard Bakery

I have been walking past the papered-​over windows for a month awaiting the opening and without warning they were open this very morning. Despite their air conditioning being broken– sad for them– the case was filling up with very appealing goodies. I am a scone snob– I will admit– and theirs LOOKED lovely so I tried a Strawberry scone… perfection! Texture is everything in a scone and they nailed it. The berries being coked on top and not inside the scone was a great call. The muffins (todays selection being espresso chocolate chip and blueberry) madelaines, zucchini bread, scones and the fresh fruit and honey granola yogurt all looked amazing. She had only been open a half hour and my scone was still warm… what a treat. They were going to have cookies, brownies and other treats later that day and I look forward to walking by to be tempted.(Tea and coffee-​hot and iced) Perfect timing with the Arts Festival weekend. I hope many people stop in an support this jewel. There was a bakery there prior but one drawback was their hours– convenient for them but not us– the other was flavor. I think Orchard far outshines the prior bakery (sorry). The plan to be open from 7AM to 6PM most days and that is a welcome change. WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD!
