I was asked by Mary to greet customers at the front door of B&R, as her social media strategist, it would be a great way to get feedback on the bakery and the new store. And who says no to Mary Breen?
Today, I walked into the bakery a little before 8am, the smell of coffee was intoxicating, but the blueberry lemon scones stopped me dead in my tracks. As I stood at the door way, and looked into the bakery, the faces of the young women behind the register smiled back at me, alert and ready for the stampede. I had no idea how people love their baked goods. Some dart by the buttery cinnamon puffs for the coffee. Many linger and seem to eat everything with their eyes.
"Good Morning. Welcome to Bread and Roses." Sleepy kids and happy parents greeted me with pure delight. " Oh the morning glories, or the blues?" "Let's take one of each, we are on vacation." As the sun came over Main Street, the lines formed at the door. Young and old streaming in for their fix of delights and coffee. Happy, tanned vacationers coming to their paradise of sorts. So many pleased by the new store layout.
I met more people who shared that they have been coming here with their kids for years and just love the morning ritual of muffins, scones, coffee and o.j. on the deck at Bread and Roses. It's summer time families, friends, locals and tourist all convene on a Monday summer morning. What can be better than a cup of hot coffee and one of Mary's Cinnamon twists? Welcome to Bread and Roses!
