A city isn’t complete without a bakery for special occasions, even if the special occasion is breakfast.
Here are three bakeries that are the sweet heart of each city in Calhoun County.
While the kids will want cookies after a visit to Kids ‘N’ Stuff down the street, Foundry has you covered for breakfast and lunch. Doughnuts and coffee are served in the morning, with sandwiches on homemade bread for lunch. Make sure to add a bowl of soup to warm up in the winter.
Continental is cake central for Battle Creek. There have been many celebrations with a cake filled with jam and custard. But stop in and take a look at the counter for an impromptu treat. The smiley face cookies are a longtime staple, as well as paczkis for Fat Tuesday. Continental also serves up sandwiches and quiche for lunch. And there’s an ice cream parlor attached, open in the summer.
Ask a local about Louie’s and they’re sure to respond: Nut roll. It’s a huge doughnut flavored with cinnamon, nuts and gooey icing. We’re crazy for it around here. Of course, Louie’s does more, with sugar cookies for every holiday, fruit pies and the occasional bacon doughnut.
