Apple pie bread was so good. The cookies weren't as good as they use to be. We were there 45 min before closing. We were amazed at the waste, understand not being able to donate due to allergies, but maybe a day old table for the next day.

The addition of fresh baked cookies only enhances the wonderful selection of products they have. I consider it some of the best baked bread around. I have been going to Bread Smith's for years and always get fresh baked bread that is delicious. Highly recommended.
