This cute, old fashioned family bakery is in the downtown area of Homewood. They were founded in 1939 but they have made Homewood their home since the 1950s.
As soon as you walk in through the door you are greeted with the smell of sweetness in the air. You know right away each item is made from scratch right there in the back. It was all the desserts that caught my attention. They had everything from cookies, cakes, pies, and pastries.
I saw petit fours in the case so I was naturally inclined to order those but right when I was about to order I saw their chocolate éclairs. They was calling to me and I knew I had to have one. The pastry dough was light and airy. There was so much cream in the middle that as I took a bite it squeezed out the sides in all directions. I have never had an éclair with that generous amount of filling. The chocolate on top was soft and creamy. I could tell it was fresh because of just how soft it was.
Since I only stopped in to satisfy my sweet tooth, I did not get to sample any of their fresh breads and biscuits. The biscuit sandwiches looked great and a different take on a ham and cheese or roast beef sandwich. Their fresh breads must also make the best grilled cheese sandwiches or even a peanut butter and jelly. I am making sure that I come back for lunch and pick up another dessert.
Check out what they excel at on their website www.savagesbakery.com. Don’t plan on going on Sunday’s because they are closed.
Enjoy!
