Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I don't think I've seen anyone mention mom and pop bakeries. There were a couple in my small hometown in the 60's and 70's that had been there for years. I loved the cherry pinwheels, basically a cherry danish shaped like a four-pointed star. They had seasonal items for holidays. I still long for the taste of their gingerbread men. Another bakery in town was famous for their dinner rolls. It got to be where there was a line at the door on Saturday to get rolls for Sunday lunch. In the 1980's, they retired and sold out to a company that scaled up the roll production to factory scale. They were not anywhere near as good. I don't think they're still in business
Amazingly enough, there is a bakery still operating in my home town which was around since I can recall (well over 60 years now.) At lunch during HS, some of us would walk down to the bakery and buy cookies - 3 to 5 cents each ca. 1963. My favorite dessert was the cream horn which, IIRC, was about 15 cents. But on my lunch allowance, I rarely bought one. Last I checked a few years back, their menu has changed little nor has the quality. The prices, however... YMMV
