About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most bakeries were quiet, Makies Bakery began receiving unusual deliveries. A mysterious van would pull up every morning, its windows always fogged, and an anonymous figure would leave boxes of freshly baked goods. One day, a neighbor noticed that the same delivery driver was leaving with empty boxes that looked suspiciously like they’d been filled with air. Curious, she followed him—and found him delivering identical packages to his own house! Turns out, Makies Bakery was just a cover for Mr. Johnson’s secret passion for baking.
2. At midnight, when the streets of New York fell silent, an anonymous note appeared on Makies Bakery’s door: ‘Open early tomorrow or face a sugar shortage.’ The next morning, the bakery opened to find its shelves overflowing with every kind of sweet treat imaginable. A delivery driver arrived later that day, puzzled but happy to unload his truck filled with pastries. Word spread quickly around the neighborhood—now everyone knew where to get the best treats in town. The next midnight visit brought only a friendly note: 'Enjoy your bounty!' And ever since then, Makies Bakery remained open until late hours, becoming a beloved local institution.
3. One morning, as customers lined up for their daily treat, an elderly lady whispered to her friend, ‘Did you notice how our croissants always seem to rise just right after that new truck pulls away?’ Another day, another mystery: when a delivery driver from the local coffee shop parked his van too close, everyone waited with bated breath—only for the croissants to puff up perfectly! A regular chuckled, ‘Guess it’s not the truck, but the perfect harmony between Makies and Mr. Coffee Guy.’
4. One day, while loading boxes into her car, a neighbor noticed something peculiar in the bakery’s overflowing trash can—a tiny handwritten sign reading ‘Free Pastries Today Only.’ Curious, she picked it up and saw that someone had written their phone number on the back. Thinking it was a prank, she shrugged and threw it away. Later that evening, as she baked cookies for her family, her husband called out from the kitchen: 'Honey, why does our freezer smell like freshly baked pastries?' Turns out, the delivery driver had called the number on the note—and Makies Bakery had been delivering treats ever since.
