Boyce's Bakery

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were lining up for their daily treats, an unfamiliar voice crackled over Boyce’s intercom: ‘If you see a man with a big box of jelly doughnuts wearing a disguise, please don’t panic.’ Customers looked around nervously, but soon a regular appeared, holding a bag full of pastries and whispering, 'Don’t worry, it’s just our new delivery guy.' The mystery was solved, and everyone went back to enjoying their breakfast with a smile.

2. One day, while a regular was chatting with the baker, he overheard a delivery driver whispering into his phone: ‘I’m on my way to Boyce’s Bakery—better hide those secret recipes!’ The regular leaned in curiously but heard only static. Later that evening, as he walked home past Boyce’s, he saw an old neighbor waving frantically from behind the closed shutters. ‘They’re finally changing the menu!’ she whispered excitedly. The next morning, Boyce’s Bakery proudly displayed its new sign: “Fresh Baked Secrets Since 1897.”

3. At dawn, when Boyce’s Bakery usually hummed with the first customers of the day, a lone bicycle appeared in the empty street. Its rider, wearing a dusty hat and old-fashioned clothes, pedaled straight towards the closed door. The baker, still asleep upstairs, heard the clatter and groggily opened the shop. The cyclist handed over a bag full of pastries, nodded once, and rode off into the morning mist. ‘Another mystery delivery,’ muttered the baker, smiling as he unpacked the warm treats. The bakery soon filled with the familiar chatter of customers, and no one ever saw that mysterious cyclist again.’

4. At dawn, when Boyce’s Bakery usually hummed with the first customers of the day, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the shadows near the loading dock. Curious, he peered closer and saw an old cat, lazily stretching its paws. The cat yawned, stretched again, then sauntered into the bakery as if it owned the place. Turns out, it did—every morning, the same gray tabby greeted Boyce himself, demanding a special treat before anyone else could enter.
