Sometimes, bakeries try to be a little more inventive; rather, they aim to be more than just a bakery and, more often than not, that extra addition onto their title turns into the main attraction. Molly's isn't the first bistro bakery/bakery bistro I've encountered, though I'm still a little unsure of what the difference is between a bakery bistro and bakery cafe... anyways, yes! Selling hot breakfasts, lunches, and frozen/ready-made meals like quiche and meat pies, the bistro does indeed come first at Molly's. Of course, everything mentioned above is made from scratch, which is always a good thing and certainly commendable -- and so are their baked goods. Perhaps they take a back seat to the extensive dine-in menu, but Molly's still does offer a smaller selection of homemade baked goods like pies, cookies, squares and tarts. At the very least, that's why I'm there. ;)

Giving Molly's a try, I picked out the raspberry square. The square featured a nice raspberry filling that was more fresh puree than jam or pie filling, which was appreciated, and was coated with a chewy shredded coconut top -- I wouldn't have thought it beforehand, but it was a tasty combination. Pretty good.

Though it may be more of a breakfast restaurant than an actual bakery, it's still a tasty option when in the area... well, okay, it's the only option in the area, but still~
