Hey there, dear customers. I was toying with the idea of opening Saturday, but with Asheville appointments tomorrow, that just sounds exhausting after the week my family has had. So, right now, the plan is to resume normal days and hours on Thursday, October 8. We will take this one day at a time! The following week is my husband’s birthday and my brother may be visiting from the West Coast, so there is a slight possibility open days may change a bit. My husband has appointments that week, too, but after all he has been through this year, my boys and I will definitely be reserving some time in the near future for spoiling him silly. I’ll let you know when that will be.
Thank you for your kind and loving thoughts and comments and prayers and support. We appreciate it.
Your local German baker girl,
Ingrid, & Family

Monday evening update: He is home from Mission and recovering.

Thank you, everyone. It looks like he may have had another stroke. Cognitively he seems fine, but we have a full half face droop this time and only half his mouth on the opposite side opens when asked to smile real big. We are home from the hospital now, since they couldn’t do an MRI this weekend. He did have a CT scan last night at the ER which showed nothing, thank goodness. If this was a TIA, it is his 4th that we know of. All have passed with nothing showing up on scans and healing happening over time. Other times, his vision was affected, and twice it was speech. He was just very despondent and feeling bad before this one, then couldn’t get his mouth to use a straw, so came to me to get him to the ER. I did not see any facial drooping until we were standing at the counter at the ER, just slurred speech and having trouble forming words and having trouble getting his mouth to move before that. I have NEVER seen a team move so quickly at Angel, before. They were fantastic. We are so grateful.

Sunday update: He was transferred via ambulance Saturday night to Mission, where he has been admitted for observation and testing. He cannot keep one eye closed now, so they are still trying to solve the mystery of what is happening to both sides of his face, a numb and semi-paralyzed side and the other side that is droopy. He has seen 4 neurologists over this weekend. Good news is that he feels OK.

You made it to Friday! Come get your treat. Lingonberry Streuseltaler are waiting for you. And our Pumpkin Cheese Braid, made from the softest sweet yeast dough, ever, are back today. We are SO happy about that. You better hurry. One long time shop team member is telling our newest team member how good it is, so now the 3 of us are eyeballing it and wondering if we should just pull them right back out of the case. More of the little pumpkin pies, made from fresh roasted pumpkin, that you snatched up yesterday, are loaded back into the cool case this morning. We are open 10 to 2 today.
Bis bald!

It’s pumpkin pie season! I always make mine out of fresh pumpkin, roasted and pureed. I have single serve, in our 3 inch “Eat Me Cake” size, ready for you today. Our Appelbullar, Swedish cardamom buns with Granny Smith cinnamon and brown sugar filling, are soft and heavenly, also a nice way to celebrate the season.
Our Thursday hours are 10 to 2. We’ll see you soon!

If you are within a 2 mile radius and are smelling FALL, that’s me! Between the pumpkin roasting and the apple filling simmering, as part of my prep today, this bakery kitchen has never smelled more amazing. Now, if we could just have a little cold snap…

It’s a berry-liscious Saturday at Market Square Patisserie, with raspberry Boller and our fruit and cheese Viennese. The apple cardamom Kanelbullar flew out of here faster than ever, this morning, but we have plenty of your Saturday favorites available! And don’t miss our daily ice cream menu items such as our Afternoon Tea Milkshake, made with our Scottish Empire Biscuits and house blend Shire Grey Tea and our heavenly Dubai chocolate inspired Knafeh Pistache Sundae. We are open until 4. See you soon!

We have Cotswold Cottage Scones in the bakery case and in the warmer for you today. Have a couple with a pot of house blend tea! Lingonberry Streuseltaler are going fast, but if you hurry, you might get a hold of one of these Friday specials. Our hours are 10 to 2 today. See you soon!

09/17/2026

Cotswold Cottage Scones, our Elderflower, clover honey, and white chocolate scones, will be available tomorrow, Friday, from 10 to 2.

Chocolate Vanilla Brioche Petit Pains are still warm and gooey, if you want to get your hands on one, freshly filled and ganache dipped. All of our German and European cake favorites are available by the slice, as well as our traditional Scandinavian pastries. We are down to just one almond croissant and one SINnamon Roll already, but just let us know if you’d like us to frost a German cinnamon snail for you. All of our SINnamon Rolls start life that way. Hours are 10 to 2.
Bis bald!
