About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular was leaving The Merchant bakery, he heard someone whisper, ‘Remember to pick up the moon tonight.’ Confused, he glanced around but saw no one. Was it just an echo in his head? That evening, as he left again, he swore he saw a shadowy figure waving from inside. Curious, he returned later that night and found only crumbs on the counter—along with a note: 'Moon’s out of stock today.'
2. In the early hours of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up outside The Merchant bakery. As he opened the van’s door, he heard an unusual voice whispering from within: ‘Please don’t forget to turn off the oven.’ He quickly shut off the oven and jumped out, only to realize that no lights were on inside. Turns out, it was just an old bread timer left behind by a regular. With a laugh, he went back to his truck, muttering, 'Next time I'll listen for the bell.'
3. A neighbor passing by The Merchant’s bakery one foggy afternoon noticed something peculiar in the dumpster behind the shop—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, she peeked inside and found a freshly baked apple pie, still warm from the oven. Smiling, she took it home and shared it with her family. That night, over dessert, they decided that The Merchant’s pies were simply too good to be true—maybe even magical! And so, whenever someone ordered a pie, everyone in town would secretly hope for a little extra surprise hidden within.
4. At midnight, when most bakeries were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up outside The Merchant. As he unloaded crates of fresh pastries, he swore he saw a shadowy figure slipping into the alley behind. Curious, the driver followed the shadow only to find an old cat tiptoeing away with a stray pastry wrapper. With a shake of his head, he finished his rounds and went home, muttering something about ‘another night in the life of The Merchant.’
