Thorough Bread and Pastry

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular entered Thorough Bread and Pastry and asked the baker, ‘Why do you always smile when I come here?’ The baker replied, ‘Because every time you visit, I get another reason to be happy.’ A few days later, a delivery driver arrived with a frown on his face. ‘What’s wrong today?’ asked the baker. ‘I just dropped off a cake,’ said the driver, ‘and the lady told me it was too dry.’ The baker smiled broadly. “Now I know why she’ll order from us again!”

2. A little girl walked into Thorough Bread and Pastry one Saturday morning, her eyes wide with wonder as she watched the baker carefully placing intricate designs on croissants. Suddenly, an old neighbor popped in, asking for his usual loaf of bread. The little girl shyly asked if she could help him carry it outside. To everyone’s surprise, she managed to balance not only the bread but also a tray of freshly baked pastries on her head, wobbling slightly but managing to impress even the crustiest of locals. That day, Thorough Bread and Pastry became known for its ‘talented’ youngest customer.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Thorough Bread and Pastry with an unusual package. As he approached the door, he muttered under his breath, 'I hope they like their surprise today.' The package was wrapped in plain brown paper, but when the baker unwrapped it, he found a giant chocolate croissant shaped like a heart. A neighbor had left it anonymously, along with a note reading, ‘Happy Valentine’s Day from someone who loves your pastries!’ The whole town talked about it for weeks.

4. At dawn, before anyone else stirred in town, a shadowy figure crept into Thorough Bread and Pastry. The baker, rubbing sleep from his eyes, noticed something unusual—each loaf seemed to whisper its own secret recipe. One morning, a delivery driver arrived with an extra bag of flour. As he left, the baker heard the last whisper: 'Mix it three times, not twice!' That day, every pastry tasted like magic. Even the neighbor’s dog agreed.
