Give Thanks Bakery

The Give Thanks Bakery makes the following proclamation about a vist to their bakery at 225 S. Main Street in Downtown Rochester:

Enter The Give Thanks Bakery and it’ll be no ordinary experience. You will discover the essence of a Viennese coffee shop, a pâtisserie in Paris, and a bäkerei in Bavaria, all in one place – right near your home. You will enjoy the visual feast of European pastries, the delicious aroma of crackling loaves coming straight from the oven, and the soft strains of Mozart in the café. Welcome!

Truer words have never been spoken. I am fortunate enough to have been to a Viennese coffee shop, a bäkerei in Bavaria and a Paris pâtisserie and can confirm that I have yet to visit another bakery in the United States that offers the ambience and feel that you experience in the fine cafes of Europe.

Give Thanks Bakery: 225 S. Main St; Rochester, MI 48307; 248.601.1542

Stop in and see for yourself. The Give Thanks Bakery is located in downtown Rochester, but it’s a bit hard to find as the entrance is located on the west alley between Second and Third Street. It might take some extra time to find, but once you are inside you will be glad that you have arrived!

Paul’s on Main Street – Family Restaurant

Site Admin — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:04:23 +0000

In an earlier article it was suggested that the businesses in our downtowns need to be supported by the local residents and other business owners. The article challenged each of us to choose three downtown businesses, spend $50.00 per month at each business, and in doing so save our local economy.

One of the businesses that we think is a good candidate for this support is Pauls on Main Street. Paul’s is truly a family restaurant. Not only does the restaurant cater to families, but it is run by a family, too. Paul’s provides great food, at a reasonable price, and with personal service and attention to detail. In fact, if you want a delicious meal at a great price, try Paul’s Greek Chicken Salad. You won’t be disappointed.

Paul’s is located in downtown Rochester 630 N. Main Street. Their phone number is 248-656-0066 and their fax number is 248-652-3363.

Why not get on board with both your local businesses and the 3/50 Project and keep our downtown brick and mortar businesses thriving.
