About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were gathering their pastries, an old sign above the counter suddenly lit up and announced in a scratchy voice: ‘Today’s special: one free cookie for every customer who can guess my age.’ An elderly lady in a flowered apron approached the counter with a twinkle in her eye. 'I'm 98,' she said, pointing to herself. A delivery driver chimed in, 'I bet she's 103—she looks younger than my grandma!' The old sign blinked approvingly before adding, 'Next!' And so began the day's most entertaining guessing game.
2. One day, while waiting for his usual croissant, a regular noticed something peculiar on the cash register screen: ‘Today’s special—one free pastry per customer every Wednesday.’ The note had been there for weeks without anyone noticing. Soon enough, word spread around town, and every Wednesday, people flocked to Tulie Bakery just to claim their free treat. One particularly amusing scene involved a delivery driver who accidentally took two pastries thinking it was his turn. When he realized his mistake, everyone burst out laughing—and no one even minded giving him an extra treat.
3. One morning, as customers were leaving Tulie Bakery with their freshly baked goods, a little girl pointed excitedly at the window display. ‘Mama,’ she whispered, ‘look at those cookies— they look like they're dancing!’ Her mother smiled and said gently, ‘Oh darling, those are just special cookies our baker makes with tiny sprinkles.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully then turned back to her mom, pointing towards the door where a delivery driver was walking by. ‘Look mama!’ she giggled, ‘he’s dancing too!’
4. While browsing through the display case one afternoon, a neighbor noticed that every time she visited, her favorite pastry seemed to change its flavor without altering its appearance. Curious, she mentioned it to no one but herself until a regular overheard and asked if she’d tried asking for a specific item by name. Lo and behold, from then on, her treat always tasted exactly as expected—until one day when a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe they’re testing you for an espresso-induced sugar high!’
