Joining me this morning is Brittany Moreno. Her and her husband own the bakery here. Thank you for joining us. Of course. Thank you so much for coming. Good morning everyone. Yeah. So you guys opened really during the height of COVID. What was that like? Yeah. So we opened September 5th of 2020. It was a really interesting experience but, um, you know, we were able to really become a part of the community, uh, pretty much right away. You know, we had a great following from the start and uh it was really, really nice to, you know, be welcome to the community in such a nice way. And um you know, our menu, we were just kind of catered to be able to make everything to go. And um, uh, we just kind of worked from there. So tell us about some of the, the big goodies that you have here. Uh So one of the main things that we do is we mill our own flour. Uh So a lot of our breads and pastries are whole grain. So a little bit different than you might find, but we really feel like it's, um, you know, you want freshly ground coffee to have the best cup of coffee. Why not have freshly ground flour to make the best pastry? So what do you think folks come in here for the most? Probably hard to, it's hard to say. Um You know, our, our yogurt and granola is one of the standouts on the menu. Um But in the pastry case, I think, you know, the poo chocolat and the chocolate chunk cookie are big item for us. And you said even during the holidays, I mean, you get a lot of folks coming in for pies, right? Uh Yeah, so we're coming up on Thanksgiving. Uh you know, it's a month away but uh it'll be here sooner than you think, sooner than you think. And you know, are the big thing there. We also do prepared prepared foods for that as well. I'm going to try. So this is the chocolate croissant. You got an apple turnover, apple turn over that for my photographer Kenny. Signs of this. Oh, so soft and delicious and got a nice little chocolate going on there. Oh, and it goes, I don't, I'm not supposed to talk of my mouth but this is amazing. Becky. I'll see if I can, uh, get a couple of these. Is this what you would like, Becky? Now, this or, uh, ok. All right. I got that next hour.
