What Do Unicorns, Grenade Launchers and $8 Bread Have in Common?

We don’t sell any of them! This fact comes contrary to an irate Yelper who’s very upset with the imaginary bread in question. It’s likely the loaf referred to is Ric’s Cinnamon Swirl, which weighs close to three pounds and goes for $7.5. It is the priciest bread we carry, but if you’ve had it, then you know it’s worth every cinnamon-sugar-fingerprinted penny. It’s why we continued to carry it even after Ric’s closed up their Headhouse Square stand in December. It’s why we motor to Kennett Square, halfway between Philly and Ric’s Lancaster HQ, to meet bakers Jim and Michele Stauffer on snowy mornings in the Baltimore Pike WaWa parking lot. It’s why, at a distance, it looks like we’re doing some shady drug deal, only with English muffins and Black Russian loaves instead of crack and dope. By supporting us, you support the Staufers, and many other small, independent local producers just like them. If some people don’t like it, that’s cool. More for the rest of us!

    Ric’s Bread is worth it. That $7.50 loaf lasts forever, and it’s so rich and perfect! That Yelper has no cash and no clue.
