What a gem! We’re in town for Groundhog Day weekend 2018, and decided to stop by at a suggestion from the Punxy Visitor’s Guide Book. SO glad we did! They were hosting a small vendor show, including a nearby local winery (lemme tell ya... the wine tasting before coffee was genius).
Ginger Snapped Bakery had a charming, lovely pastry case. I wish my stomach was bigger- everything looked beautiful and incredibly tasty! I chose a stroopwaffle with molasses- I’ve never had home-made stroopwaffles before, and this was truly divine! Buttery, crunchy, sweet, and the just-perfect when dipped in coffee. Yum!
Beverage wise, I also wish I had more stomach space. So many delicious options on the menu! We played it seasonal and choose the Groundhog Mocha- a mocha with caramel. So tasty, and made with real chocolate. Other things that stood out for me- the white-chocolate strawberry mocha and tea selection.
Small note on other Yelp reviews I’ve read, and the general business. It’s no surprise that Groundhog Day weekend is busy, busy, busy for the town of Punxy. The town of 5,000 grows to 40,000- so yeah, you will likely have to wait and be delayed a little. Be nice, be kind, be understanding... the town staff is working hard, and as a visitor, I truly appreciate what you guys do to make out-of-owners feel welcome. (Seeing Punxsutawney Phil has been on my buck list for over a decade now, and I am so pleased with all the people I’ve interacted with in this town).
I’m in Punxy for two more mornings, and you can bet I’ll be back here! Thanks so much, Ginger Snapped. Your staff was phenomenal!!! Can’t say enough good things. :-D
