 The
original Sweetest
Things Bakery, nestled among the
scrub oaks in downtown St. Marys, opened in May
of 2003. This cozy shop was the birthplace of
confectionary delights and aromatic gourmet
coffees which were sure to please the most
discriminating taste. Now the bakery finds
its home at 888 E. Kings Bay Road in St. Marys,
making it more convenient for local residents
and visitors.
Immediately upon entering you find
cases loaded with such goodies and treats as
scones, cinnamon rolls, buns, cakes, and breads to
name a few. You may choose from various
gourmet coffees, Tazo, herbal teas, Pellegrino
bottled water and more. Christy is more than
happy to make special requests and will cater
events as well. You may sit and enjoy your
treats while at the bakery or pick them up and
take them home or to work with you.If you are hoping to pry the recipe for one of
your favorites at the bakery, forget it!
Christy says all of her recipes are secret, some
handed down by family and others of her own
making. All of her baking is done on the
premises. Not an easy task the way
these goodies fly out the door!
Christy Foster owns this
new business and is pleased with the reception of
visitors and residents. This is something
that Christy has always wanted to do and even
though the hours are long she seems to glow when
talking about her newfound venture. Her
day typically begins about 2:00 AM and by 3:15
AM she is busy baking her goodies, then her day
ends around 7:00 PM. This is definitely a
different atmosphere than her previous
profession as a Flight Paramedic.
If you are looking for a little respite from
your jaunt around downtown or just need a quick
pick-me-up, stop in and find something to enjoy at
The Sweetest Things Bakery and Coffee Bar.
