Yes! The pecan rolls win an award with me. The cardamom loaf is exceptionally good as well.

Cinnamon rolls are very large. Looking at them, I thought they would be dry, but they are not! They are delicious. We also got a cherry nut bar, cardamon roll (unique), sprinkle cake donut, pecan roll, and brownie. Our group of 5 had a lot of fun tasting all the goodies and we liked them all! Some items are on the pricer side (over $5 for a cinnamon roll), but it was a nice treat after a bike ride. We went to enjoy them at the park down the road.

Amazing. Had cinnamon rolls, pecan rolls, donuts, and peanut butter cookies. It was all delicious. Random location but very peaceful and gorgeous.

Easily the best cinnamon roll I've ever had and I've had a lot (and can even make 'em)! The danish puff (with almonds) was also over the moon. This was totally worth the drive!

Baked goods to die for! Turnovers, pies, cinnamon buns, bars. You really can't go wrong!

Many people told me to check out the cinnamon rolls here. I ordered one yesterday at the counter and ate it, surprised it wasn't warmed up. Came back this morning and thought well I'll get another cinnamon roll but I don't know what all the hype is. So I'm getting my coffee when I spot a microwave! Heated up the cinnamon roll was amazing!
I'm not giving 5 stars for two reasons. 1. I feel a staff member should have pointed out there was a microwave and 2. It was way too warm in the bakery! The heat was on like full blast but I'm guessing that's to cater the elderly population that frequents the bakery.
Their flavor of the day coffees were great. I really liked the Door County Red Velvet Mocha coffee and the DC Cherry Cream blend. Delicious!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Elaine M.Chicago, IL1483063572Aug 20, 2016
Excellent pecan rolls. Award winning, we hear. Cinnamon rolls looked awesome too. Both were very generous in size.
Whitefish Chowda starting at 11:30 am. We were too early. Will have to come back here. Maybe for the breakfast buffet or fish boil buffet. :)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Bona S.Midtown - Westport, Kansas City, MO8253Jul 20, 2021
Baked goods were delicious. Got the apple pastry and blueberry pastry along with a couple triple chocolate cookies and cream filled pastry with almond slivers. It was on the pricey side. I gave 3 stars due to being charged for a cinnamon roll I ordered , but did not get it. I had to run outside to get cash from my husband (busy on the phone) and the lady had all my items bagged up and I didn't look in the bag to ensure all items were there until I got to the campsite. Didn't think it would be that hard with a few items and the cinnamon roll was my last item I pointed to as part of my purchase. 1 cinnamon roll was $5.15. All in all, pastries were good but pricey.

If I were rating only on the taste of the cinnamon rolls, I'd give a 4. But adding in the customer disregard and pricing, I'm at a 2.
The rolls are very good ... and you pay for it. Based on a pic someone posted a couple of years ago, their prices are up about 20% in the past 2 years. This is definitely a splurge bakery.
Also - we just happened to learn through asking, that their frosting contains almond extract, not good for some with nut allergies (especially since they don't post that info anywhere). A person I was with was very disappointed she couldn't join in the taste sensation. To add insult: when I sent an email to the bakery suggesting they post this info and maybe hold back just a few rolls per day without frosting, I got NO response. I enjoyed their food once ... but that's all for us.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mark S.Cambridge, MA2315818Sep 24, 2017
The bakery is attached to Rawley's. Not alot of other baked goods options in this area and this one is an okay go to choice​. The bagel and pecan rolls were pretty good. I found the cinnamon rolls (too sweet) and the coffee (too weak) fairly disappointing and probably would not order again.
