I didn't really, and I kind of wish I had a memory like that to look back on.
I think the closest thing I have is a little chocolate shop a couple towns over called Burdicks. Their hot chocolate is as thick is melted fudge.
ALSO a more modern bread-y happy place that I've found is the small chain Hi-Rise Bakery. Lots of bread, jam, high ceilings, and old wooden benches.

When I was younger I would go to this place in Lexington (can't remember the name) but I have very clear memories of this place. I'm pretty sure it's closed now. When my mom would tell me we were going, a sense of warmth and excitement would fill me; I absolutely LOVED this place. You would walk in and there would be a wall just filled with loaves of all different kinds, and when I was younger I didn't appreciate really good bread like sourdough and such, so I would always get the cinnamon bread, which from my memory was amazing. The last time I went was probably 6 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool! Was the bakery Great Harvest? That's the only one I know of in Lexingtonland. It's funny how cinnamon bread is really sentimental for a lot of people. Maybe that will be the next loaf I bake!
