Golden Grain Bakery

I grew up on this place. I can still remember my nostrils being filled with the smell of freshly baked bread on a Sunday.
I went back recently during the week to find some of the magic has fizzled. All the bread was stuffed into plastic bags. The selection was limited and the girl behind the counter was more focused on singing what the teens sing as opposed to good customer service.
I went back on a weekend and things were a little more like the old days. The selection was great, the staff was engaged (greeting regulars and such) and the bread was out of the bags and on the shelves, filling the store with that old school scent.
I guess the most important thing is the bread itself. The dark rye is irreplaceable and the french stick makes the best bread pudding.

Local bakery that has been around for a long time. I remember going as a child to get delicious fresh croissants with my parents. Flash forward 20-​some years and the croissants are still wonderful. If only I could bake like that at home. The various types of bread as well as other baked goods like muffins, cinnamon buns and pizza buns are all great. Some days it’s hard trying to decide what to get!

If you come here for one reason and one reason only, get the large garlic cheese loaf… Be prepared for awesomeness as so much butter is used the crust deep-​fries itself while baking:) Be prepared and order the bread a day in advance in order to insure you get one!
Everything else here is good as well… Pecan tarts to die for… try it out!
