Another great spread for our coffee hour before Easter service from our favorite bakery. We are in AZ & had not our grandsons chosen Central we would never have been introduced. 

Business response:

We are so glad you enjoyed your goodies!

You would think with a line coming out the door, it'd be a long wait. But it wasn't! Once you're in the counter area, there are friendly voices that will make sure you get all you need.
