Otisco Bakery And Basics

This place is fantastic; the staff is incredibly friendly! The bakery is clean and smells amazing. On a whim, my Mom and I both got ice cream, and boy was that a great choice! The rush hour ice cream (coffee + chocolate) was packed full of mocha flavor, and the sea salt caramel was chock full of caramel goodness (the actual turtle-shaped turtles were extremely cute also). I would highly recommend this place if your looking for a good scoop of ice cream or some high-quality baked goods!

Fresh baked breads, cinnamon rolls, cookies and novelty items. We stop in when we are in the area since it is about 20 miles from home, but we have made a special trip before. A few day old items that are still fresh and a frozen area. One or 2 tables inside and a couple outside. There is a take out window for the unmasked. We love the sticky or frosted cinnamon rolls.

Was doing a little backroads trip to take pictures of the covered bridges north of Lowell and happened across this marvelous little bakery. I told the girlfriend I was just running in for a coffee, and ten minutes later came out with an armful of baked goods. They have phenomenal cinnamon rolls, amazing pretzel bread, this awesome berry pie square whose name escapes me. But the absolute showstopper was the rye bread. If you like a chewy, very slightly sour, malty, caraway spiced rye bread, then this is your jam. Fresh sliced with a little salted butter, mmm heaven. Takes me back to my Bohemian grandmother's restaurant when I was a kid. Definitely planning on going back again.

From the friendly personel to the outstanding baked goods, this small town bakery experience is worth the trip! The cinnamon rolls are perhaps the best we've ever had - fresh, soft, and just the right amount of cinnamon and sweet. The cookies are also very good, as are the buns, monkey bread...and don't even get started on the pretzel crisps (dangerously addictive). Looking forward to trying the special Sunday croissant treats tomorrow - evidence suggests they will be fabulous! Update: It took a while longer to get my hands on a croissant than planned - it was indeed, delightful.
