Christmas time is here again… our version this year is a little simpler but just as sweet!

ORDERING INFORMATION: PLEASE READ

Whether you’ve experienced our Christmas season before or are new to the holidays here at Bettersweet– please take a few moments to look our calendar over carefully as it is set up a little differently this year. On Friday 12/1 and Friday 12/29, only our standard menu [not our Christmas menu] items are available for custom orders. On the other days that we are open in December, you will see listed what is available to order.

Visit our lobby during open hours for extra goodies and a fine selection of treats available for walk in purchase. Each menu item may not be available everyday.

list version here: https://bettersweetbakery.com/a-la-carte-menu/

Christmas orders can be placed at any time. Payment options: cash or check.

On Friday 12/15 we’ll be hosting our annual TWIGHLIGHT HOURS from 5-8 pm. Giveaways, samples and Abe’s annual hot cocoa sale! You won’t want to miss this evening.

We will be showcasing some local artisan talent again this year in our lobby. You can find some unique and hand crafted gifts beyond bakery treats.

Thank you for your continued support of our little bakery.

Merry Christmas from Curt, Jen & the Bettersweet Team
