The reason we do this.
We have the best customers. There’s no question about it, meeting and chatting with our customers is always the highlight of my day. They routinely make every frantic morning worth it, and are a continual inspiration for our baking. But, today, one of our favorites went above and beyond, and I had to share. Because, well, she sent this message and it is undoubtedly one of my favorite reads ever.
These deserve their own review:
I am a fan of pastry and a previously indiscriminate eater of almond adorned food things. These almond croissants have become a staple in my life and I have no interest in existing without them. Gas station bear claws no longer need to tremble in my presence because Bakehouse goods have managed to encourage me toward a life with standards. These pastries are sweeter than my husband and easier to get along with than my child and once a week I enjoy the croissant's company at least as much as I've ever enjoyed the other two.
Once upon a time two weekends ago, in an ill advised adventure involving the overlap of the world's least rewarding hobby and logistics of international health certificates, I needed to travel to Canada. Thanks to unreliable airlines I found myself the holder of two useless boarding passes, a box of almond croissants for someone I owed a thank you. . . and my keys.
And so with 60 hours on the clock, 4 pastries, and 1612 miles to cover, I hit the road. I ate them, of course, and they kept me awake and alive. For the mathy people out there, I got 403 miles out of each of them. For the non mathy people, a really f*cking long way.
Anyway, the point is, it's Thursday and the week isn't over. So if you need some kind of magic to get you 403 miles farther down the road. Or your spouse is salty and your kid acts just like them, have I got news for you- the solution to all your problems is on Main St and you can carry it with a coffee in your other hand.

We can’t thank you enough. For the review, and for being you.
