The coconut cream pie here is worth the trip alone: a mountain of creamy custard, just sweet enough, under a blizzard of toasted coconut in a wondrous, buttery crust. Cakes are old-fashioned magical, and while some pastries are better than others, the standouts seem divined from heaven's own sweet shop, including the addictive chocolate shortbread cookies and the Katie Bun, a hybrid of a croissant and a cinnamon bun. With a big counter up front and cafeteria tables for lounging, Baker & Spice doubles as Hillsdale’s unofficial community center and nursery school.
