About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Franke’s Bakery, every morning begins with the same ritual: employees stack fresh pastries on display shelves. But one day, an unusual note appeared among the croissants—written in flour dust, it read, ‘Take what you want, leave what you can’t.’ Since then, customers swear that whenever they return exactly two hours later, their unpaid-for treats mysteriously vanish. One day, a delivery driver noticed his truck was low on sugar packets. He popped into Franke’s and asked for some. The baker smiled and said, 'Help yourself.' Two hours later, the driver returned without paying—and found his empty truck miraculously filled with sugary goodness.
2. One day, a delivery driver left an unusual package on Franke’s doorstep—a mysterious box wrapped in old newspaper and tied with string. Employees peered inside but found nothing but a note reading: ‘Open only when you least expect it.’ Finally, someone dared open it during a slow afternoon. Inside was just a small card saying, 'Try our new chocolate chip cookies!' The entire place erupted into laughter—no mystery, just good ol’ Franke’s baking magic.
3. One morning, a regular asked the baker: ‘Why do you always throw those little doughnuts away?’ The baker replied, ‘They’re too small for customers.’ But the next day, everyone found tiny packets of something sweet in their bags. A few days later, a delivery driver noticed that his bag was lighter than usual. Curious, he opened it and found a miniature cake—just big enough for one bite. Word spread quickly, and soon Franke’s Bakery became famous for its secret mini treats hidden in every order.
4. One foggy morning, as customers lined up outside Franke’s Bakery, a strange humming sound echoed from inside. No one could quite place its source—was it coming from the old oven or maybe the new espresso machine? Suddenly, an elderly gentleman emerged from the back room, scratching his head and muttering something about his ‘newfangled’ mixer. Turns out, it was just Franke tinkering with his latest kitchen gadget—a vintage mixer he’d recently acquired. The humming stopped, everyone laughed, and the line moved forward once more.
