Kingston has a new bakery in town!  Just what we have wanted for so long.  It is located in the Old Kingston Hotel at First and Washington.

This new bakery is a combination of bakers and businesses under one roof from what I gathered on my visit.

Mirracole Morsels is a family owned baking company, serving the local community with natural morsels of goodness.  I spoke with Nicole Matheson while I was there and she is the provider of the wonderful cookies (we shared a raisin oatmeal because of the extra large size) and their famous granola.  Lacey Menne of Borrowed Kitchen Bakery is the baker of the breads.  We purchased a tomato baguette which we took home and made a super sandwich out of brie cheese and tomatoes.

The view from the deck of the bakery is fantastic, overlooking the Kingston-Edmonds ferry and the Port of Kingston.  This will be a wonderful place for breakfast, lunch, or snack times in the summer.  I can’t wait to sit out on the deck or in the garden and enjoy their great pastries with a cup of coffee, which by the way comes from Cup & Muffin just down the street.

The window display is absolutely enticing and will draw you right in their front door, unless of course you do not indulge in sugar.  I allow myself a little treat occasionally so right through that door for me.  “Look at the size of those goodies” I am saying to myself!

The door knob, being a metal pretzel, is completely appropriate.

Once inside the selection is overwhelming. The pastries are large, oozing with frosting and fillings,  and decadent.  I selected one of my favorites, a bear claw as big as my hand.  I also purchased a cherry danish and some jalapeno crackers to take home.  I had to resist taking home cookies, cakes, and more pastries.  Of course, being reminscent of a slightly rustic European bakery, they also serve lefse and other Nordic sweets. During the holidays they always have seasonal desserts such as pies and fruitcakes.  To top it all off the service is excellent.  If you should have to wait,  just spend your time eyeing the scrumptious spread before you.  Try to decide exactly what you want before you get up there and ask for one of everything.  If you are from out of town and unable to come back, I suggest you load up, otherwise you will definitely wish you had later.
