Furn Saj Bakery & Restaurant

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their breakfast, an elderly gentleman entered Furn Saj Bakery & Restaurant with a large shopping bag. He approached the counter and whispered something into the manager’s ear before disappearing into the back room. From then on, every Tuesday at exactly 9:30 AM, he would reappear with fresh pastries, leaving without uttering a word. Finally, one Thursday morning, a confused delivery driver arrived asking if anyone ordered three dozen eclairs. The manager shook his head, puzzled. Just then, the mysterious old man appeared from behind the counter, handed him a bag, and whispered, 'Just like always.' Everyone burst out laughing—except the old man, who never smiled.

2. One day, while a regular was enjoying his usual pastry, a voice crackled over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention, everyone—our famous Furn Saj cake is now shaped like a dog!’ A delivery driver stopped mid-pizza-unloading and asked, 'Why does it look like a Chihuahua?' The baker shrugged, 'Who knows? Maybe our oven has a sense of humor!' And ever since then, customers come not just for pastries but also for the occasional canine-shaped treat.

3. At dawn, when the bakery’s doors just opened, a small dog scurried inside and darted straight to the display case. Its nose twitched curiously as it sniffed something no human had noticed before. The little dog paused for a moment, then suddenly sat down in front of an unsuspecting customer who was admiring a croissant. With a wag of its tail, it gently nudged the pastry with its paw, causing the entire shop to erupt in laughter. From that day on, ‘Furn Saj’ became known not only for its pastries but also for its morning canine ambassador.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a mysterious sign appeared on the door: ‘Beware of the cookie monster after midnight.’ One night, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled in just before midnight. As he waited for his order, he heard a soft crunching sound from behind the counter. Curious, he peeked around and saw nothing but empty cookie crumbs—until the clock struck twelve. Suddenly, a giant hand emerged from beneath the counter, grabbed a cookie, and vanished again. The driver laughed it off, thinking it was just a prank until he realized: Furn Saj’s cookies were simply too good.
