About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular was leaving Tammy’s Deli & Bakery with his daily treat, he noticed something peculiar wafting from the open door—a scent so sweet it made his nose twitch and eyes water. Curious, he turned back just in time to see an elderly woman, wearing an apron and smiling warmly, tossing glitter into the air like confetti. The man watched, bemused, until she tossed some sparkling dust that landed on his hat—making him look like a character from a fairy tale parade. Startled, he almost dropped his pastry but managed to mutter, 'That’ll be five dollars next time!' The old lady laughed heartily, waving goodbye as another customer walked in, oblivious to the rainbow trail behind them.
2. At dawn, when most bakeries are just warming up their ovens, Tammy’s Deli & Bakery began receiving mysterious phone calls. A soft voice would whisper, ‘Your bread is ready,’ and hang up before anyone could respond. One day, a delivery driver answered the phone and calmly asked, 'What kind of bread do you want?' The voice replied, 'Anything but raisin!' Turns out, it was just a neighbor playing a prank because he hated raisins in everything.
3. One day, while picking up her usual treat from Tammy’s Deli & Bakery, a neighbor noticed something peculiar in the display case—a loaf of bread with a perfectly baked smiley face on top. Curious, she asked Tammy how it was done. With a twinkle in her eye, Tammy confessed that it was just a trick of light and shadow—nothing magical. But every now and then, when the sun hit just right, there it was again: a smiling slice of bread for all to see. The neighborhood continued to stop by Tammy’s, not just for their treats but for the occasional surprise smile.
4. One afternoon, while picking up her usual treat from Tammy’s Deli & Bakery, a little girl noticed something strange—one of the freshly baked loaves seemed to be waving back at her. Curious, she pointed it out to her mom, who laughed and said it was just the baker playing tricks on them. But as they left, the little girl turned around and saw that another loaf was tipping its hat to their neighbor, who happened to pass by. From then on, whenever anyone ordered a dozen from Tammy’s, they’d ask for ‘the ones that say hi’.
