I love this place so so much. It has the coolest atmosphere. It has a European type vibe and it’s extremely cozy. They have coffee and the BEST baked goods. We got coffee, a lemon bar, and a strawberry cheesecake croissant. It was very good. I will say, my pastry wasn’t warmed, but I didn’t ask and I was still very good.
In town to see family who recommended checking this spot out. As soon as we pulled up, I loved the look of the storefront. The beautiful flowered vines hanging over the entrance, with the antique wooden doors were so neat!
They have a large selection of fresh baked goods. I only got a poppy seed bagel with cream cheese. While I saw some of the prices of the cakes to be a bit pricey, the bagel complete with cream cheese was less than a 1.50!
Lots of other items for sale there in addition to their baked goods.
There are no tables inside but you can find a few of them outside.
I wanted to try this place out because I saw they had some vegan options. Emailed them about dietary restrictions but never replied so I had to call and ask. There were only four sweets available that were vegan and I was told that the sourdough bread was vegan so only five vegan options.
Health score was a 90 as of October, 26, 2024.
No clear menu to know all items and does not say what the dietary restrictions are on the items.
The poppy seed lemon muffin and chocolate muffin was delicious.
This place is always incredible, but TODAY- THEY WERE AT THE TOP OF THEIR GAME. The baguette, first of all, it the most heavenly fluff I’ve ever had in my life. Ripped off a piece, and the bread squished and re-fluffed to the original shape… what!?!? Heaven. The everything bagel- 15/10, pan au chocolate was also the most delectable one in existence. Always the best coffee in town. Thanks, Continental, for making my day and ruining every other bakery for me! I love you.
Continental Bakery has always been an all time favorite. They have delicious sandwiches, quiche, soups and wonderful tarragon chicken salad. The bakery is excellent for all of your bread needs, love their sour dough. They have an array of pastries , cookies , pies and cakes. A little on the higher end of price but I think all of the bakeries are about the same nowadays. Totally worth the price for a now and again and go-to bakery.
