About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers lined up for their daily treats, an unfamiliar voice crackled over The Rolling Pin’s intercom: ‘If you’ve ever wished for something sweet enough to make your dreams come true—now is the time!’ Curious glances turned toward the old-fashioned bakery door. A regular customer, Mrs. Jenkins, leaned in curiously and whispered, 'I wish my pie would win first prize at the county fair!' Suddenly, a tiny pastry chef appeared on the counter—a puff of smoke later—and announced, 'Dreams fulfilled!' Only it was just the new delivery driver, trying out his magic show act. Everyone laughed, including Mrs. Jenkins when her pie won second place.

2. Late one night, while the baker was closing up shop, a soft humming sound echoed through the empty streets. It grew louder each evening, drawing curious neighbors and late-night deliveries alike. Curious, the baker followed the sound into the backroom, where an old mixer hummed softly on its own. Turning it off, he found himself surrounded by freshly baked pastries that seemed to appear out of thin air. From then on, whenever someone ordered something unusual, like 'three dozen eclairs for tomorrow morning,' the next day would bring not just the requested treats but also a handwritten note reading, ‘A small surprise from The Rolling Pin.’

3. At dawn, when most shops were still shuttered, a delivery driver pulled up to The Rolling Pin Bakeshop. He noticed something odd: the lights were on, but no one seemed to be inside. Curious, he knocked gently. A voice from within called out, ‘Come in!’ Turning the handle, he found an old oven timer ticking away and a tray of freshly baked cookies cooling on the counter. ‘Morning,’ said a sleepy baker. ‘Didn’t mean to scare you—just testing my new alarm clock.’

4. At midnight, when only crickets chirped outside, a faint whirring noise echoed through The Rolling Pin Bakeshop's empty aisles. Suddenly, an old mixer came to life, stirring dough in perfect rhythm. A delivery driver passing by swears he saw the lights turn on and off by themselves. Turns out, it was just the baker’s ghost, making sure everything was baked with love—even after hours.
