About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular at Corner Bakery noticed something strange on his way out: ‘Hey,’ he said to himself, ‘I swear I saw that same bagel smiling at me yesterday!’ Since then, customers have been reporting seeing faces in the croissants and hearing whispers from the muffins. Finally, one day a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they’re just trying to tell us their pastries are too damn good!’ Ever since then, Corner Bakery has become known not only for its yummy treats but also for its quirky urban legend.

2. At dawn, when Corner Bakery's doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sight: the bakery's clock seemed to be running backwards. Curious, he peered inside and saw only dust motes dancing in the morning light—no one else was around. The delivery driver shrugged it off as a trick of the early-morning shadows, but every time he returned, the clock stubbornly reversed its hands. Eventually, a regular customer asked if they could ‘set the clock right,’ leading to a daily tradition where everyone gathered to reset the clock together before breakfast. Now, locals say that whenever the clock runs backward, good luck is sure to follow.

3. At sunrise, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up to Corner Bakery. The street was quiet except for one peculiar sound—an old clock tower chimed exactly twice every five minutes. The delivery driver noticed an elderly gentleman waving from his porch across the street. ‘Morning,’ he called out cheerfully. The old man nodded and whispered something into his cat’s ear. The driver smiled, thinking it must be some local tradition no one ever bothered to explain.’

4. At dusk, when most bakeries are closing their shutters, a delivery driver pulled up to Corner Bakery. He noticed an unusual glow coming from behind the closed windows. Curious, he knocked on the door. To his surprise, an old cat appeared and meowed softly before vanishing into the shadows. Inside, the only sound was the gentle hum of an ancient espresso machine. A voice called out: 'Finally here! Thought you’d never come.' Turned out it was just a regular dropping off a box of freshly baked croissants.
