Great to have another option in the ‘hood that is open early, perfect for families with young children. There is a small seating area that was full when I […]

Located just past the Wayside Inn, AJ Cakes is a new (ish) bakery located just over the line in Marlborough. While the majority of Ashley Miller’s business is in custom cakes and pastries, they do have a great pastry case that is filled with lots of goodies. Selections change often, but you can usually find […]
