ALWAYS AN INNOVATOR, CELEBRATING OUR 10th YEAR IN THE VILLAGE OF THE ARTS

Welcome to my ever evolving eclectic bakery/cafe where everything is made from scratch using the best freshest ingredients available. Currently we're open for lunch Thur-Sat 11-2, plus special events & dinners. Look for BONNI BAKES' DECORATED TREE as part of Holidays at the Crosley Festival of Trees Dec 2-9. In December play with us during lunch by decorating a holiday cookie which will be distributed by a local charity. Last year we made over 150! Bring your BLING to the Dec 4th ArtWalk, we'll have A Gem Quest Jewelers on site paying CASH for your unwanted jewelry, 10% of net sales will benefit local DOG RESCUE GROUPS. CLOSED THANKSGIVING WEEK, WE'LL RE-OPEN WITH A FULL LUNCH MENU THURS DEC 3rd. HAPPY HOLIDAY!!

As a former New Yorker I like to add weekly menu items that reflect ethnic foods & trends I miss from NYC. In the past that has included "real" bagels, Asian summer rolls, Russian stuffed cabbage, corned beef on homemade sour rye, trendy salads, sliders, rugelach, black & white cookies, etc. Below is my basic weekly menu. To find out about this week's special additions & details of the Geraldson Farm CSA Platter, call 746-6647 or join our email list. My weekly email includes menu details, info about special events, updates of what's happening in The Village and other observations.
