Local bakeries satisfy sweet teeth
By MARYMELDA HALL
StaiT Writer
Almond croissants. Chocolate
chip cookies. Fresh baked bread.
You don't have to live in Dessert
Kingdom to taste treats like these.
Area bakeries can satisfy even the
hungriest students.
Crump's Bakery at 124 E.
Franklin St. is the area's newest
bakery, located where Thell's used
to be. Grump's opened at the start
of the summer.
Grump's has the same owner
ship as The Bread Shop, said JCim
Bierley, Grump's cashier. "The
Bread Shop used to have sweets,
but they were basically bread. So
we took over the sweets and also
carry some of their bread."
Everything (except the bagels)
is made in the store. English
walnut brownies and walkaways
are favorite items.
Grump's decorates birthday
cakes, as well as a cookie or two.
"Decorated cookies seems to be
a Thell's tradition, so, if people
request it, well decorate their
cookies," Bierley said.
Manager Sue Orley and head
baker Ashley Heisley created
many of Grump's goodies,
"They played around with
recipes to see what they liked best
and what got the best response,"
Bierley explained.
One can locate Grump's parent
store, The Bread Shop, on W.
Franklin Street by following the
smell of baking bread. According
to owner George Lawrence, on a
good day that delicious aroma
comes from 1,200 to .1,400 pounds
of bread.
The Bread Shop sells a wide
variety of breads, including wheat-.
berry raisin (flavored with ginger,
orange and wheatberries), sun
flower seed (almost 100 percent
whole wheat made with lots of
honey and sunflower seeds) and
black Russian, which Lawrence
said is "no good with peanut
butter."
The Bread Shop delivers items
to many area restaurants, some of.
which have been specially
developed.
"Martini's wanted something
different for a dinner roll," Law
rence said, "so, we tried some
things and came up with the snail
roll." Lawrence worked with
Swensen's to create an onion roll
for their hamburgers. Sadlack's,
the Looking Glass Cafe, Pye
wacket and the Orient Express
also purchase Bread Shop
creations.
The Bread Shop is open from
9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through
Saturday.
When two entrpreneurs opened
La Patisserie in the Courtyard in
1980, they wanted to start a good
French bakery.
All recipes are original French
recipes. Everything is freshly made
in the store.
One of the most popular items
are the croissants. They make
everything from scratch every day.
La Patisserie is open 10 a.m. to
6 p.mm, , Tuesday through Sat
urday, and 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Monday.
For those who are simply cookie
afficianados, the Cookie Jar is a
dream come true. Tucked in beside
Haagen Dazs, the Cookie Jar is
owned by Haagen Dazs owner
Bradley Stanley, who says "coo
kies and ice cream just go
together."
"The cookies are baked here
every day," manager Michael
