Mark Bishop (SAB's chief Pastry Chef) has been in the game for over a decade.  He's the brainchild behind the sweet treats you and I get to enjoy.  Old classics on the menu like Chocolate Chip Cookies, Red Velvet Cupcakes, and Banana Nut Bread will cure anyone’s nostalgic cravings for childhood favorites.  However, if your palate is slightly more sophisticated, they offer treats like the Almond Horn (a soft almond cookie filled with almond paste & topped with toasted almonds) or, my favorite, the Magic Cookie Bar (pecan pie filling, chocolate chips, and coconut on a shortbread base).  I know it sounds overwhelming but it works…trust me.


Don’t think SAB is only good for dessert though.  manager Julie Coleman gave me the run down on all the goodies they offer.  They have an assortment of breakfast items ranging from muffins and Danishes to coffee cakes and tea breads.  Or, if your eyes happen to be bigger than your stomach like me, I’m sure you would opt for their gigantic doughnut glazed with chocolate ganache.

Oh, and let’s not forget about the pies. SAB’s most popular pie, and bestseller throughout the year, is the Sweet Potato Pie, which is offered either small or large.  They also offer their Pecan Pie by the slice and whole for the holidays.

So, the next time you're downtown, I highly recommend that you stop by Sweet Auburn Bakery.  I promise you won’t be disappointed.  The service is exceptional and the treats are delicious!!!  Special thanks to Julie and Mark for all their help and information.  And, also for the box of goodies!!!  : )
