Umpleby's Bakery & Café

Mother Nature has finally relented (for now).  Come by for lunch and eat outside!

but we will be open our normal hours starting at 7:30am!    So they will probably cancel school again and we might not get a food delivery again  (although McNamara Dairy said –  storm – big deal- we’ll be there with the milk!)  but as I said before – the ovens will be running and the croissants and sticky buns will be baking and the espresso machine will be steaming and frothing and pushing hot water over freshly ground espressso beans.

We had the patio all set to open but Mother Nature said “Not so fast there baker boy! I have other plans for the weather”

Should I put the Christmas Wreaths back up?  I just took them down!

This week is March intensive at Hanover High School which means (at least this is my understanding)  the students sign up for a class that runs for one week and they learn about a specific topic study.  Some students, for example,  went to Nicaragua to help build a school I believe.  One group is learning about the breads of the world and the importance of cafes in communities.  So I had the honor of hosting that  group of 12 students and two teachers and I gave them an impassioned talk on how cafes are VERY, VERY important and contribute greatly to the vitality of the local community.    As I like to say with a smile,  “we are in the quality of life business”!
