Umpleby's Bakery & Café

Bad things can happen today if you are not careful.   If a soothsayer gives you advice today you best listen!    Take things nice and easy by carefully walking over to our cafe.   The tables can rock a little but don’t worry.   Everything is going to be okay.

Sandwich Special Today –  The Et Tu Brute?   – An ambitious sandwich of Hot Roast Beef with bacon, swiss and caramelized onions.  Finished with an honourable Brew-te Guinness dipping sauce.    Then fall Caesar.

One day is not enough to celebrate the unique food of Ireland and specifically the fun themed possibilities of St. Patrick’s Day so starting this friday we start going GREEN.   Look for shamrock sugar cookies, Irish Soda bread,  Jameson’s Pecan or Walnut Tarts and Guinness Brown Bread.   And that is just the beginning – a full menu to follow in the days to come!   About the GBB,  on the days we offer it I highly recommend ordering a Peter Lake using that bread.  Your taste buds will thank you, your soul will thank you, and your belly will thank you.    And I will thank you for trying it!

A customer asked me today if I was going to make Hamantaschen for the Jewish Holiday Purim.   I’m glad she asked because I think that is a great cookie!   It gives me a chance to make poppy seed and prune fillings which, in my opinion, are two of the most under-rated fillings out there.    So we will have them in the cookie case starting tomorrow and up until the 24th of February.
