About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old lady was buying her usual croissant when she noticed something strange on the counter. ‘Why does Farina always leave that old key here?’ she asked aloud. A delivery driver overheard and joked, ‘Oh, that’s not just any key—it unlocks the secret recipe for their famous ciabatta!’ The old lady laughed, thinking nothing of it. But every time she visited afterward, she’d surreptitiously check if the key was still there. Turned out, it wasn’t a mystery at all—just Farina’s way of keeping customers coming back.
2. A few days ago, while picking up his daily pastry, a regular asked Farina’s owner: ‘Why do you always greet your customers with “Buon Appetito” even though most of us speak English?’ The owner smiled and replied, 'Because when I say it in Italian, it sounds like I'm wishing everyone a good appetite, but when I say it in English, it just sounds like I’m practicing my language skills!' A delivery driver chimed in, laughing, 'And besides, it makes our mornings feel special—like we're all part of some secret club.'
3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the bakery. As he unloaded crates of pastries from his truck, he spotted something peculiar—a small, dusty box nestled among the bags of flour and sugar. Curious, he opened it to find an old recipe card for ‘Farina’s Famous Raspberry Twists.’ The note read: ‘For best results, bake with love.’ From that day on, whenever someone mentioned those legendary twists, everyone would smile and say, “I heard they’re only made when the moon is full… but I guess Farina just adds extra love instead.”
4. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Farina Bakery and called out, ‘Hey, Farina, any fresh pastries today?’ A sleepy voice answered from inside: 'No, not yet.' The driver shrugged and left. An hour later, an elderly neighbor popped his head out and asked, 'Did you get some pastries?' The delivery guy shook his head with a smile and replied, 'Nope, but I got a good story!'
