About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another morning at La Mie Bakery when a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package. As he unpacked it, everyone noticed something odd—inside were dozens of tiny handwritten notes, each addressed to different customers. As the delivery driver opened one note aloud, everyone heard him read: 'Dear Customer, please pick up your usual croissant… and also two dozen donuts!' Turns out, someone had accidentally mixed up the orders. The whole neighborhood ended up laughing over free pastries that day.

2. It was an ordinary day at La Mie Bakery when a regular noticed something peculiar. As he walked in, a faint melody drifted from the kitchen—an old-timey tune played on what sounded like a harmonica. The baker, absorbed in his work, hummed along without noticing anyone else. Curious, the regular approached the counter and asked if everything was okay. The baker finally noticed him, smiled sheepishly, and explained that he was just humming along with an old song his grandmother used to sing. Turns out, it was the same tune delivered daily by their friendly neighborhood delivery driver, who had a habit of whistling while cycling through town. Everyone laughed, realizing they’d been part of a charming musical coincidence.

3. At dawn, before anyone else stirred, a faint humming started near La Mie Bakery. It grew louder with each passing minute, drawing curious glances from neighbors and passersby. Finally, an old delivery driver emerged from behind the door, grinning sheepishly. 'Just testing out my new electric scooter,' he said, waving a small remote. Neighbors exchanged amused looks, realizing that for weeks they’d been hearing not ghosts, but just an enthusiastic baker trying out his latest gadget.

4. At dawn, before anyone else stirred, a soft tinkling sound echoed from behind La Mie Bakery's closed doors. Curious, a delivery driver approached the door and found it unlocked—a tiny bell chimed gently as he pushed it open. Inside, rows of freshly baked pastries glistened under dim lights, but there was no sign of life except for one small note on the counter: ‘Thank you for your patience. We’re just taking our morning coffee break.’
