About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a regular was leaving Busken Bakery with his usual bag of fresh pastries, he overheard an unusual conversation between two delivery drivers. ‘Did you hear?’ one whispered, pointing towards the back alley. ‘Someone’s been sneaking in after closing and stealing whole trays of croissants!’ Curious, our regular decided to investigate late one night. He found nothing but empty boxes of cereal from the neighbor’s garage sale. Turned out, it was just a cleverly executed prank by the neighborhood kids, who thought they were getting free breakfast!

2. A neighborhood kid was rushing to catch the bus one morning when he tripped over an old man’s newspaper outside Busken Bakery. As he stumbled, he knocked over a tray of freshly baked croissants, sending them flying into the air like confetti. Just then, a delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘Who ordered extra crispy croissants?!’ Everyone burst out laughing as the old man, still clutching his paper, shook his head and muttered, ‘Another fine mess these kids make.’

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Busken Bakery. As he unloaded crates of fresh pastries, something unusual caught his eye—a small envelope taped to one crate's lid. Curious, he opened it to find a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please bake extra cookies today!’ Below was a doodle of a smiling busker. The driver laughed and thought, ‘A regular, no doubt.’ That day, Busken Bakery indeed baked twice as many cookies—and sold out within an hour.

4. One morning, as a regular was picking up his daily treat from Busken Bakery, he overheard an unusual conversation between two employees: ‘Did you hear?’ said one, ‘someone’s been stealing our special recipe!’ Curious, but not alarmed, the regular walked away, wondering if anyone else had noticed. Another employee shrugged and replied, 'Probably just that nosy delivery driver next door.' The regular laughed to himself, thinking, 'Who knows? Maybe they’re onto something!' And so, the mystery of the stolen recipe remained unsolved—until someone accidentally left the secret ingredient list on top of the mixer.
