Testimonials
Cindy O: “We stopped by Village Bakery & Sandwich Shoppe with 12 hungry people (kids ages 2-13 and adults). We all loved it! Everything they made is from scratch and you can tell! The bakery items are delicious and hard to choose just one. The breakfast sandwiches are also made homemade from scratch, even the croissant sandwiches. The Iced Vanilla Coffee is also amazing and so is the iced tea. The prices are very good too – an inexpensive place to stop for breakfast, lunch, or dessert for sure while at Put-in-Bay. This is why Put-in-Bay is the best of the Lake Erie Islands. We’ll be going back for sure.”
Tom K: “Amazing pastries! Went looking for do not its, and found eclairs, muffins, etc. Priced at typical island pricing at $2.50 to $4. I must say WELL WORTH THE MONEY!”
John H: “Excellent food! Nothing like it in Cleveland! All of the bakery items are delicious, they even have a bunch of lunch items as well.”
Tammi S: “The smell hits you on a Saturday or Sunday morning after being out on the town – and you know it is where you need to be. Delicious breakfast sandwiches and a brownie or two and you’re set for the day. They offer a variety of coffees and much to my delight – chai – that they prepared perfectly blended with skim milk. I know a lot of places that don’t do that right. Anytime of the day – a great place to stop for a snack!!”
Magda Z: “Village Bakery is the best place for coffee, made from scratch muffins and pastries, real salads, delicious sandwiches, and homemade soups. Owners are super nice and always ready to help! During the summer season, you can find gluten-free muffins. Coffee is the best in all villages!”
