About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Maxie B’s bakery had been around for decades, but one morning something strange happened. A delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I just saw Mr. Jenkins talking to himself in front of that new sign!’ The next day, a neighbor commented, 'Did you see Mr. Jenkins again?' The delivery driver shrugged and replied, 'Nah, but I heard he baked an amazing croissant that morning!'
2. One foggy morning, as customers were sipping coffee and nibbling on freshly baked pastries, someone noticed that the clock above the counter seemed to be running backwards. Curious, a regular approached the counter and asked if anyone else had noticed. The clock suddenly stopped, then spun forward again with a small mechanical whirr. Everyone laughed it off, assuming it was just an old quirk of Maxie's antique timepiece. From then on, whenever someone mentioned how slow the day felt, another customer would joke, 'Ah, must be Maxie B’s magical backwards clock!'
3. One quiet afternoon, while a regular was enjoying his usual pastry, he noticed an odd whiff of bacon wafting through the air. Curious, he looked around, but no one else seemed to notice. Soon enough, another customer mentioned it too—a delivery driver who claimed he smelled breakfast from miles away. Before long, half the neighborhood had gathered outside, sniffing the air and laughing. Turns out Maxie B’s secret ingredient was just a misplaced package of bacon left in the oven overnight. And now, every morning at exactly six, they bake fresh bacon-scented pastries for anyone who wants them.
4. One humdrum Monday morning, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes of fresh doughnuts, he heard a soft whisper from behind. Curious, he turned around and saw no one. Just an empty alleyway. From then on, whenever someone ordered extra-sweet glazed donuts, Maxie B’s got an unexpected visitor—an anonymous neighbor who left a wink and a whispered ‘thank you’ before melting into the shadows.
