About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading her car with pastries from SusieCakes, a regular noticed something peculiar in the backseat—an old, dusty recipe book wrapped in brown paper. Curious, she flipped through its pages and found handwritten notes suggesting that each pastry had a unique power. That very afternoon, a delivery driver accidentally left his lucky coin on top of a freshly baked éclair. When he picked it up later, he discovered that his route was now twice as efficient—and everyone knew exactly where to find him for advice on getting things done faster. The legend grew, but SusieCakes remained just another charming bakery in town.
2. At closing time, when SusieCakes’ neon sign blinked off, a neighborhood cat would always appear on the counter. Employees tried ignoring it, but one day they found a tiny note next to a freshly baked cake: ‘Only take what you need.’ Soon enough, employees started leaving little treats for the cat—cookies here, a slice of pie there. One morning, a delivery driver found an entire cake wrapped with a tag that read, ‘For your sweetest customer.’ Turned out, everyone in the neighborhood had adopted SusieCakes’ furry mascot as their own.
3. At dawn, before SusieCakes opened its doors, a small dog would appear outside the bakery window, staring longingly at the freshly baked goods inside. One morning, a delivery driver noticed the dog and decided to share his breakfast pastry with it. From then on, every day at exactly 6 AM, someone left a warm treat for the little canine outside the bakery door. A neighbor joked that SusieCakes had unwittingly adopted a four-legged customer who never missed a meeting—even if no one ever saw him enter.
4. At sunrise, before SusieCakes had even flickered on its lights, an old bicycle would silently roll up to the back door. A shadowy figure in a hooded sweatshirt would slip out a basket filled with empty boxes and return moments later with freshly baked goods. Finally, one morning, the owner noticed the routine and decided to follow the hoodie-clad figure. Turns out it was just a neighborhood kid delivering his own homemade cookies as a surprise for SusieCakes’ customers—whooping with delight when everyone discovered their treats were now twice as sweet.
