Going to a BAKERY is a happy place for me.

This entire month is about sharing “happy places” as part of #Coach4adayChallenge 30 Day Happy Places. Today I share what makes a BAKERY special for me. I also mention a few of my favorites.

On Saturdays when possible I sneak off to Dunkin Donuts and get myself a donut or two. Lumberton NC also has a fabulous place to purchase cakes, pies, and croissants called Cakes and Pastries.

I love living in North Carolina but I sure do miss the quality and number of bakeries you can find in New Jersey. That is where I grew up and my memories are vivid about trips to Danzigers BAKERY in Morristown NJ.

So what makes a great bakery? Some answers might include the number of items they have. Some might respond the variety of cakes. For me it starts with the bread. Does a bakery have great bread. That is what I miss about Danziger’s. I loved their poppy seed hard rolls they made me happy.

Geoff Kenney my oldest son has had work experience in a fantastic BAKERY located in Wilmington NC called Sweet and Savory. Insider recently listed the top BAKERY in each state and Sweet and Savory was their choice for NC. You can find that link here.

Would love to hear any suggestions of great bakeries I should visit to remain happy.
