3. Beehive Bread Company

I first tasted cinnamon rolls from Beehive Bread Company in 2018. I daydreamed about them ever since. I never could make it to Powell on a weekend morning to snag one!
It only took me 6 years to get my second cinnamon roll! LOL That’s embarrassing but true. And I didn’t have to go on a Saturday morning!
I happened to be meeting some friends for coffee in Powell on a Thursday morning and we walked down to Beehive Bread Company and lo and behold, they had cinnamon rolls in stock! They also have them with maple frosting, which looked delicious!
I also tried the dark chocolate and sea salt cookie! It was very good and I recommend it if you like dark chocolate and your cookies pretty salty.
They have lots of other goodies I will have to come back and try! Hopefully it won’t be another 6 years!

Mr. Bean Coffee in Powell is a really sweet spot to meet a friend for coffee! I love all of the plants inside the shop. If you look at this coffee shop from the outside, you will never guess what it looks like on the inside!
Mr. Bean also serves gelato so it’s also a great spot for a little bit of dessert, though the shop does close at 5:00 PM so make it a little afternoon pick me up!
You can choose from a good selection of pastries, bagels and baked goods! The coffee menu is extensive and they also serve tea and matcha drinks!
