Alden Bakery & Cafe

really great place for breakfast and lunch. had the Two rod salad- so fresh and delicious. the roasted red pepper soup is awesome too

Fantastic coffee and pastries. Every time I go in I order the same drink and it's always made exactly how I want it. They usually switch up the pastries so it's always fun to see what different flavors they have and I like trying something new each time.

Met the owner and he and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. The service is excellent!

Tried just about everything they offer in the baking rack and it’s all excellent!

Just opened in July, owners are very nice and they have a beautiful array of baked goods.

Wow. Just wow
This is the kind of bakery - coffee shop - ice cream parlor - outside patio- that you would find on the streets of Manhattan or Brooklyn. You certainly don’t expect it in a little town of Alden. But wow was I blown away by the experience.

Let’s start with walking up to the place. The front looks like a beautiful little coffee shop and then there’s like a sub patio that may be closed up for the winter which would provide for some feeling of outdoor seating even when the weather is bad, with beautiful little paintings sayings and nice little half tables.

Then you go in and you see the owners touches from her hand writing on the menus written up on the chalkboards to the way the food is lit and displayed. You can tell it’s family because each of the kids I think we’re behind the counter in the mom working hard greeting customers and taking care of guests.

So let’s get to the most important part, the coffee and the baked goods. They had cookies behind the counter that must’ve been 7 inches in diameter. Pastries and other delights. Then I looked up and saw a $10,000 coffee maker and ask for an espresso. Which up until now, there was only one other place within 10 miles that you get at this level.
And most people don’t even know how to use the machine. But instead I got a delicious cup again at the level of quality that you would expect from downtown Chicago or even downtown Venice.

My 16-year-old who came with me to the store said he wanted to try a breakfast sandwich, but it was afternoon - but again they still accommodated use, making the "Broadway" which turns out to be delicious homemade eggs fresh bacon real cheese on your choice of a roll or bagel we tried an everything bagel. And it was fresh and delicious.

I could go rambling on but I’m gonna stop here so that you can try it yourself and enjoy the experience. To say the least I highly recommend this wonderful new bakery in Alden
