I had my first experience at Wild Flour in Parkville recently - what a treat.
It's a real house on Main Street — someone took an old home and turned it into a bakery and kept the bones. Creaky character, a porch, rooms instead of one wide-open floor. There's a row of plants in the window, and every one of them is named after a character from Friends. That's the kind of place this is.
My friend got the cinnamon roll. They are the talk of the town and did not disappoint.
But here's what stayed with me. Some coffee shops seat you like they want you gone — hard chairs, one outlet, a clock ticking. This was the opposite. Couches, corners, the porch. A place built for the long visit with someone you haven't seen in too long. That's exactly what we did.
This is what I mean when I tell people Parkville isn't just the river and the antique shops. It's a downtown you can spend a slow morning in. River town pace, ten minutes from the suburbs.
