You have to look for this spot – the signage is on a wooden fence – then walk through a mishmosh of quirky artifacts on the tree-covered courtyard to get to this East Ukie Village bakery, but the sweet-and-savory corn muffin with an egg-filled center is worth the hunt. Other choices include croissants, cupcakes, scones, tarts, cookies and pies, including vegan options. Special occasion? Cakes are also available (like red velvet and mint chocolate chip). The bakery space features exposed brick, banquette and high-top table seating, and there's a cutesy retro stove doubling as a condiment caddy.
