About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily coffee and pastries, an unfamiliar voice crackled over Tall Grass Bakery’s intercom. ‘Attention all patrons,’ it said, ‘we’ve just received our most unusual shipment yet—an entire herd of fresh, locally sourced tall grass!’ A puzzled regular asked aloud, ‘What on earth do you do with a herd of tall grass?’ A delivery driver replied, ‘Don’t worry, they’re not for eating—they’re for the bees!’ Turns out, Tall Grass Bakery had started using local wildflowers grown from that very grass to make their honey. The whole town laughed, but now everyone knows where to get the best honeyed treats.
2. In the early hours of every Tuesday, just as Tall Grass Bakery’s staff began setting up for the day, a mysterious voice would come over the store’s intercom. It said simply, ‘Remember to bake one extra blueberry muffin today.’ No one knew who it was or why they bothered, but sure enough, that extra muffin always sold out first. One Tuesday morning, an excited delivery driver rushed in, saying he’d found an ancient recipe book with a secret ingredient—blueberries from the ghost of a long-lost baker. Everyone laughed, but when they baked that day’s special batch…the extra muffins sold like hotcakes! Since then, Tall Grass Bakery has become known not only for its delicious treats but also for the occasional unexpected visit from ‘Blueberry Man,’ whose voice still echoes through the intercom on Tuesdays.
3. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the bakery with a mysterious crate marked only ‘Special Order.’ As he opened it, out fell a dozen loaves of bread—each wrapped in old newspaper from different decades. The bakery owner laughed, saying, 'Must be last week’s shipment from our time-traveling neighbor!' Everyone shrugged and went back to making pastries, while a regular muttered, 'Better not tell anyone or they’ll close us down for health code violations.'
4. One day after closing, a curious neighbor knocked on the bakery door. ‘Why is your sign still lit?’ he asked. No one answered. The next morning, the bakery was buzzing with excitement when they found out it was just an old neighbor who thought the lights were on for him. Turns out, he’d been waiting for his favorite treat since the night before and assumed everyone had gone home. Everyone laughed, and from then on, Tall Grass Bakery made sure their sign went off exactly at closing time—just in case someone else might be waiting too.
