What do you mean by "has taken on a noble challenge". Just curious. Thanks

The pastry chef who founded From Scratch did so primarily to provide useful, productive work for her Down's Syndrome sister and others with disabilities. The OP did mention this, but only briefly and parenthetically. Starting and operating any small business in the Lakes Region is a challenge -- here are some links that explain why this is also a noble one. And again, everything we've tried there has been delicious.

Thank you for answering my question. That does put things in context. Hopefully, they are able to work out the delivery kinks. If The Yum Yum Shop does not open in 2017 as has been mentioned this business should be well positioned for success if it can handle the growth. Good luck.

There are a couple of other bakeries in Wolfeboro. La Boca (hope I have that right) is on Mill Street and though I have never been there either people that have say it is great. I think there is another one on Railroad Ave but that name escapes me right now. I did go to the Yum Yum for doughnuts and occasionally bread but other than that I don't buy a lot of pastries.

Stellaloona is the name of the bakery on Railroad Avenue. I have not yet been a customer of Stellaloona, so I can't offer any insight there. But I would like to offer two hearty thumbs up for both La Boca and From Scratch. We have only good things to say about both. Very nice people, very yummy & fresh, homemade baked goods. La Boca baked us a beautiful cake for a special occasion that received rave reviews. And the good folks at From Scratch have a special mission that is deserving of community support, IMO.

Thank you, Beaner. I couldn't think of the name of it.
