The Upper Crust

I really like this tiny, quaint bakery! my boss loves their cow puddles, so typically we end up getting a ton of them at a time. located across the street from the Safeway, this little bakery now takes credit cards via Square & cash. super convenient for me now as I don't have to take cash with me anymore. I took a ton of photos, but I didn't realize until afterwards, they have a sign that said no cell phones :x sorry! their baked goods are always good. cow puddles are these chewy, addicting cookies made with some decadent brown butter. I also bought a honey bun for myself and a sugar cookie for my daughter. she really enjoyed it as it was a cute little purple horse! the chocolate croissants were so good. I wouldn't compare them to an actual French one, but good for what you're getting. I honestly had to stop looking as I wanted to buy everything myself (pregnancy cravings). great little stop for anyone in the area!

We found the Upper Crust after we moved to this area several years ago. We have always enjoyed the sandwiches and baked goods. Today was a special treat - we tried the "Rosy O'Grady" pie. This fantastic pie is a perfect combination of Cherries, Blueberries, and Peaches with a perfect top and bottom crust. The next time you are in the Middleburg area, stop in and do yourself a favor and look for this pie on the pie table. If you're lucky, we will not have bought the last one and you can try it!! You won't be disappointed!

What a perfect little bakery!! Sandwiches all looked amazing and topped with homemade bread. I suggest the wheat! Though hopefully I’ll get to go back soon and try the rye! So big i only ate half. So many different types of pies, but get there early or you might miss out. But if you do still So many yummy treats!! I don’t know how they manage to do it all!!

Over the years my work has allowed me to travel the globe and I have always enjoyed popping into the local bakery or bistro. The Upper Crust is by far the best bakery experience I’ve ever had. The cookies are incredible, always fresh and made with excellent quality ingredients. The U.C. has a local, homey vibe and the prices are very, very reasonable. Some days folks are lined up out the door, some mornings I’ve been in and out in less than 5 minutes… if there is a wait, you will not be disappointed! The lightly iced Horse sugar cookie at $1.35 (seriously?!) is a bargain, that should not be missed! It is baked to perfection, golden bottom with slightly crisp edges and a soft center. Upper Crust pies and croissants are on par with Le Cordon Bleu, or your favorite Aunt’s recipe. Middleburg is quite fortunate to have such an outstanding bakery. Grab a croissant 🥐 it’s truly a divine experience.
