BeRGie'S ReiNVeNTeD

Recently I got together with a couple of friends and we visited the new Bergie's Breadbasket on Mt. Pleasant Road in Chesapeake. I was very disappointed when they closed for business before and when I'd heard they re-opened, it was at the top of my list of places to visit. I'd been wanting very badly to make a trip out there and luckily the girls humored me. (Thanks girls :o) !)

What a great little place to stop for coffee and some freshly baked goodies. They had some delicious cinnamon rolls which I couldn't pass up. I was told that the cinnamon roll recipe was 50 years in the making! I believe it! Not too sweet and extremely fluffy :o) They have some very delicious looking apple crumb muffins, if that strikes your fancy. You could definitely tell they loved what they do :oP



Wanting something savory? Try the sandwhiches with freshly baked bread! You can also get some farm fresh milk there. These people had my heart in mind when they reopened and believe me...THEY'RE BACK! There's a nice selection of ice cream too :o)

I remembered they had cookies we used to always get when we visited it as a dairy farm. They were those pan type cookies and they are so soft and chewy. I had definitely been missing these so I picked up a couple today, chocolate chip(of course) and oatmeal raisin. YUMM!!!


I couldn't resist bringing some different kinds of cinnamon rolls home for the troops. They were very excited about the rolls and cookies in the 'take home' bag. I also picked up some 'Indian Candy Corn'. My favorite kind of candy corn :o) They had a great selection of candy classics, something for everyone in the family!


If you are heading down Mt. Pleasant Road, whether you're travelling from Virginia Beach to Chesapeake or vice versa, this is a great place for a short pause along the way. Say 'hello' and welcome them back! I for one am glad they returned :o) It was one long lonely road without them!
