Another unexpected bakery came in the form of The Olde Bakery, a bakery with classic, homestyle baked goods like pies (they seem particularly proud of their key lime), cookies, and sweet buns. If their storefront is any indication, they also offer an array of gluten-free products baked independently of their other products if that's of any interest to you. I don't fit into that category and, fortunately, there are plenty of options for those who do love gluten, too. ;)

This time around, I decided to try the carrot cake. A big slab of moist spice cake that was just the right thickness and nicely dotted with shredded carrots; this was then slathered with a generous layer of cream cheese icing that had a sprinkling of cake crumbs (I think) on top. As far as carrot cakes go, it was a pretty good one. A good amount of carrots in every bite (it can even be seen on the photo ^^) and complimented with the right thickness of icing; perhaps it didn't land in the top 10, but it was still a good, classic carrot cake: not too sweet, not too excessive -- just right.
