Mrs. Powell's has been in business since 1984. We specialize in Cinnamon Rolls, but we do much more than that! We have white and wheat bread, dinner rolls, sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, soup, sandwiches and so much more. What we really do is take care of one of the things you don't have time for anymore - baking. We cater and are always up for custom creations.
Micro-bakery concept, featuring gourmet and specialty coffees and fresh-baked, on-site baked goods, including muffins, cookies and bagels. Three concept variations are available: TREATS BAKERY (~400 SF) serves the base menu offering; TREATS CAFE (~1,200 SF) also serves sandwiches (baguettes), soups and salads; TREATS COFFEE EMPORIUM (~1,200 SF) also offers coffee beans, coffee-related merchandise and sandwiches.
