Stone Ground Bakery

Stone Ground is a local staple known for its no-frills approach to bread and baked goods. They supply to restaurants around the city, but also offer a retail counter open to the public. The cinnamon rolls are a standout—soft, gooey, and massive. The smell alone when you walk in is enough to make you abandon any low-carb intentions.
