Dewey's Bakery Cafe Winston Salem
So I checked out this new cafe in town today, it used to be an old starbucks, but Dewey's a famous Winston Salem bakery since 1930 specializing in Moravian sugar cake, Grandma and Grandpa's coffee cake and lovefeast buns took it over. It Opened a month ago, its a wonderful pairing with the fresh baked goodies and coffee and fitted perfectly into the old store.
In my opinion the difference between this and a local starbucks is the fresh cookies, cakes breads baked fresh daily in town. Its very hard to find fresh baked cakes these days and you can really taste the difference, they also supply to Brew Nerds coffee. Also you can buy the famous Moravian cookies online. They are special at this time of year and wow there have so many flavors, like key lime pie, ginger, moravian spice, pumpkin spice, apple cider and many more. I brought a couple to take to my Grandma's in the UK.

Look at the displays reminds me of Europe.
Halloween decorated cookies, I had a bake tray cake with a pumpkin on it and a slice of butterscotch brownie, sorry no pictures as my baby was jumping on me as I was taking the picture!
Lovely aprons for us foodies, I always wear an apron as Indian cooking gets in your clothes!Overall I like the place, but I think the staff are still trying to find their feet working in a coffee shop setting, they need to provide plates for folks sitting in and relax a little,
But the quality of the baking makes this place well worth the visit,

ReplyDeleteGreat review! I love quaint little bakeries. Maybe you can give them some tips, I'm sure they'd appreciate the advice, especially coming from a customer who knows best :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a nice place. Those aprons are realy cute!
ReplyDeleteOops typo. I meant, really.
ReplyDeleteLove deweys overall, but some of their pastries are dry every time I try them :( And other baked goods are TOO sweet so that all you taste is sugar... So I don't go often.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment about the staff at this particular location. Some just seemed more experienced than others, you know. (The Candid RD makes a good point - -they may listen to you!!)
This looks like a lovely place! Love the aprons!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Deweys posted your blog info on Facebook - congrats! I haven't made it to the new location yet, but I love the Moravian cookies and the pink lemonade cake.
