Morrell's Artisan Bakery


Artisan bakers with killer pies, wholesome bread, delicious pastries, soups and cookies, and friendly staff, all made on-site (except the staff). Overlooking the espresso cheesecake brownie would be a mistake, and we can thoroughly recommend the steak, cheese and mushroom pie.
