Papas Bakery

Stopped in a little before noon for a quick snack. Probably should of kept driving.
I passed by this place probably about a million times and I’ve always been curious. I walked in to a decent variety of pastries and donuts for the late morning on a weekday. Upon entering, I saw a sign on the register that said there’s a $ 5 minimum on credit. Since I usually don’t carry cash, I decided to shop the bread section as well. I do love a good loaf of bread. I grabbed a loaf of Egg Bread, a loaf of Cinnamon Raisin Bread and a Cherry Turnover. It was priced reasonably, especially since the loaves were pretty big for bakery bread. Total came out to $ 6.31.
There was one lady working the counter and the phones in back, and it seems this bakery is doing big wholesale business since she had to take about 3 calls before she helped me out and rang me up. Not a big deal, I’m pretty patient. But you’d think she would at least get the order right. I asked for a cherry turnover, started eating it a few miles away and realized it was an apple turnover. Good thing I’m not allergic to apples, I would have been dead.
As soon as I got home, I tried the bread. The Egg Bread was good but not great. It’s soft and it’s pretty good for making sandwiches. The Cinnamon Raisin Bread however was the worst I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot of Cinnamon Raisin Bread. It’s like they took the Egg Bread, pressed 3 raisins into it and threw a pinch of cinnamon at it from three feet away. I have to fold a slice in half to get any taste of cinnamon. Not good at all.
I’m probably not going back.

Unbelievable Unilocalers that I am actually the first to Unilocal about this place! We have been coming here for more than a decade stocking up on the Reduced Bakery goods.
Rolls, buns, loafs and some surprises, Papas is one of the reasons I can’t seem to lose weight as much as I should.
Reduced packages are priced depending on overstock from just 25 cents to a maximum of $ 1 each. Timing is everything but always worth stopping by when in the area. Three weeks ago it was four packages for $ 1, this past Friday, $ 1 each. The quality and taste will have you sold regardless, but get there early while supplies last.
Papas also sells retail with limited qualities and you can even order specialty cakes for weddings and other events. They supply hundreds of retail businesses in the region and will welcome you daily. You can call ahead to check on pricing.
