MeMa's Bakery whips up traditional tastes, with sweet treats and lunch items made on-site daily.

MeMa's pastries may be purchased individually or in assorted trays ($16.99–$54.99, depending on tray size and pastry choice).
Aunt Mary's Cookies whips up cakes, cookies, and lunches from scratch in its locally owned kitchen. Aunt Mary’s baking virtuosos dot a variety of Aunt Mary's signature cookies with chocolate chunks, buttered pecans, and smooth icing ($13–$18/dozen), and crown cupcakes with three-dimensional rosebuds and other feats of frosting artistry. Custom cakes of every shape and theme celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and successfully contested parking tickets. Quell midday hunger with one of Aunt Mary’s daily hot-lunch specials ($6.95), including meatloaf, taco salad, and other temperate treats. Six varieties of freshly baked bread, including sourdough and marble rye, highlight personalized sandwiches, which also give diners the option of five cheeses and five spreads.
Break from the rapid beating of seasonal gingerbread batters and take refuge in a European-style café that has a variety of Thanksgiving meal-ending stomach-pleasers. For $8, today's Groupon gets you $16 worth of freshly baked bakery bites at Jay WaLe’s Bakery-Bistro, named 2009’s Best Bakery by The Pitch, and, unlike most bakeries, it's not also the headquarters of a cookie-gang.Follow @Groupon_Says on Twitter.
