Bergey's Breadbasket

After a day at the beach what does one want? Sandwiches and ice cream with a petting zoo? Definitely! 

Sissy took me to one of her and the kid's favorite places, Bergey's Breadbasket located at 2207 Mt Pleasant Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23322. 

This place is great for several reasons: 

1. They have a petting zoo! They have baby goats, baby piggies, sheep, chickens and roosters, cows and Pygmy Donkeys all of which are great for children (and excitable 22-year-olds) and it's all free but it is 25 cents to feed and you can donate if you wish. 

2. All the bakery items and ice cream are made in-house. The small cottage resturant smells heavenly. 

3. What isn't made in-house comes from Mennonite or Amish farms in the Virginia area. Who doesn't love supporting their local economy?! 

4. You can buy their meat, cheese, bread and other items to enjoy at home! Plus they have a discount rack with day-old bread for a fraction of what a loaf costs. I got an adorable mini loaf of bread (it's unlabeled so I'm not exactly sure what variety) for $1.39! 

Decor: good, the small cottage resturant is a nod to a simpler time. No fuss or frills, lots of florals, wicker and woods. It's basically the cutest cottage you've ever seen that also sells food. 

Food appearance: good, nothing fancy but I love that a lot of the ingredients are made there, even the peanut butter and jelly! 

Food taste: excellent, I don't know how they did it, but they managed to make the tastiest veggie sandwich I've ever had (with veggies from their very own farm on their housemade wheat bread. And of course I had to sample their ice cream. It is basically custard because it's so creamy and flavors change daily. I tried the cookies n' cream (delicious), vanilla (tasty), and black raspberry (so much berry flavor you'd think you were eating a handful). 

Service: good, the staff working there (mainly students) was friendly and helpful. 

Cleanliness: good, no trash or recyclables left out despite the fact the resturant was busy. 

Total: 11/15 

I would recommend Bergey's Breadbasket to anyone and everyone! It's fun for adults and kids alike plus the food and ice cream are sublime!
