looking foward to checking it out, have passed it a few times already.
the bars on the windows and doors just make it a little un-inviting though, you don’t know if it is open or not……
Yum! I wannago!
Love the name and can’t wait to check this place out — thanks for the tip! Very excited.
I just stopped in a got a muffin and ice coffee, the place is adorable and the owners seemed very sweet. The muffin was still warm and very yummy and they have WiFi!
Great name and Great-looking storefront.
Has that old rustic Gowanus charm.
I want pie!
From South Dakota to Brooklyn to bakers… that’s a great story right there. Good luck!
great name. Gowanus ftw!
Another great local spot for Gowanus! I passed by the other day and couldnt figure out what it was. I will definately check it out soon.
