Colonial Bakery

I have been coming to this wonderful bakery for many years. The bakery closes for the season on the last weekend of September. Yesterday I decided to take the 2 hour round trip to go to my favorite bakery and purchase the best crumb buns ever. I took my crumb buns with my coffee to the beach. Couldn’t wait. I took my first bite but wasn’t impressed. I took a second bite only to be disappointed. The crumb bun was average at best. No distinguishing flavor or very large crumbs. I hope this was the exception to the rule. So many businesses take short cuts. Now I have to wait until spring to have my favorite crumb bun again. Hopefully, it is once again my favorite and what I ate yesterday was not the new norm. Last but not least, the buns are noticeably smaller in size.

2024 UPDATE: Colonial Bakery remains the entire family’s #1 MUST STOP spot in Lavalette! We hit them up the first morning we arrive and crave their cinnamon bread in between visits. Not sure if it’s new but we tried the Chocolate Claw this year. It’s pretty much heaven in a pastry. A croissant cookie with chocolates drizzled on top. We have yet to meet a pastry here we find to be just okay. It’s all mouthwatering!! If it’s busy, walk in and grab a ticket and patiently wait to place your order. They move quickly and no matter how long, it’s worth the wait!! Plan to buy pretty much one of everything!!! We brought home donuts, cinnamon rolls, cinnamon bread, French bread….the French bread was consumed too quickly to snap a pic!! We sampled the Lemon Blueberry pound cake. It all is beyo

Best crumb cake in town. Love the ninja turtle cookies and corn muffins. I stop here every time I’m at the shore.

One of the best bakeries by the beach. We’ve been coming here for years and everything is top notch. The ladies who are working are so caring, patient with the crowds and just a joy in the morning. Recently I made an error in my online ordering for my son’s birthday and Maeve went above and beyond to help me fix it. Love this bakery so much!

Got a Birthday Cake here for my favorite person...it was a smash hit! Everybody loved it and it made the party SO SPECIAL! Always plenty of nice kids onboard on their summer break to help you and although there is a line it always goes quick due to their efficiency! I always go back there, it makes the summer feel like summer!
