So here comes another unofficial bakery, but as the brothers stopped here and brought back baked goods, I thought why not? ;) In addition to their fruits and veggies up for sale, this place also features two types of boxed buns (if I recall them telling me, there was nothing else besides this): cinnamon buns and Chelsea buns, both at $5.59 a box.

Thinking he had never had Chelsea buns before, one brother picked these out: pretty much sticky buns coated with a clear, sugary syrup and topped with a bit of chopped walnuts. The verdict was fairly unanimous: it certainly won't beat a bakery and it didn't have that homemade yum to it either. The buns were too doughy with not enough rolled in between for there to be any real flavour. The sugary glaze was too overpowering and there weren't enough nuts either. Regardless, I'd certainly get the cinnamon buns next time, but sticky buns have never been my thing.

Overall, it's a good thing to try while buying something else in store, just when you're in the area, but I wouldn't make a special trip here for the baked goods. I was going to say there's Anna Mae's for that, but the brothers are saying they aren't close to each other, so uh... there goes that line. :P
