Bars attract barflies, tanning salons attract rawhides… who
does your bakery attract?
We get lots of groups and meetings here, especially in the summer
because of our patio overlooking Green Lake. We’ve got book clubs,
mountaineer hiking groups, and a mysterious Wednesday morning group
that discusses who knows what. We also get a lot of high-school kids
stopping by. There’s plenty of room and it’s comfy inside and out.
What’s the best part of your job?
How laid-back it is. The owners are very cool and nice; they pretty
much let me do my own thing. Before this, I worked at Starbucks, where
I got in trouble for leaning on the counter—I’m short and I was
trying to hear a customer’s order. I quit within the week. This place
is heaven. I can wear sweats to work.
What tasty vice do you recommend here?
The chocolate croissants. Everything is baked in-house every day,
but the chocolate croissant with iced tea on the side is my weakness.
We also serve soups, salads, sandwiches, and quiches.
Is anything here healthy?
No—but it’s all tasty.
