Artisan Bakeries near Holland, TX (5)

Humble pie takes a different meaning for Flake Bakery and Larder. This bakery is very humble in how it describes its business: a place to get your daily bread, your daily pies. You'd think they sell your typical loaves of bread and pies, but no. Reading Flake Bakery and Larder's menu gives you an idea of what is really going on in the kitchen. They make Cherry Pie, Chocolate Cream Pie, Frangipane and Stone Fruit, and Beef Burgundy, and yes, this is just the tip of this sweet and savory iceberg. If I have all of these to choose from daily, my taste for Flake Bakery and Larder food will never wane.
