Knead and Feed

Spring is...Spontaneous road trips up to Whidbey

I love the conversations that come up over coffee, in a small town, in a heavenly bakery, with cinnamon rolls the size of your head.
Two weeks ago, we drove up to Whidbey island for a couple of days. (I was on break from school) After a great couple of days of just doing nothing, we read, slept in, went to the beach and spent the majority of our days outside, my friend Erin, and I decided it was time to go into town!
Coupeville, is fabulous. It's main street is filled with fun and exciting shops that range from cute antiques, a touch of dutch, to the best ice cream you will ever meet at Kpaw's. At the very end of main street is this ADORABLE bakery/restaurant called Knead and Feed. Now and forever in my mind, it will be known as the bakery with the GIANT CINNAMON ROLLS.  (We bought one, and split it, half of these is more than enough.)  It's true, Knead and feed pride themselves in making their wonderfully huge and oh so delicious cinnamon rolls.

Seriously though...HUGE!

The staff is so incredibly nice, it was like a dream come true. A small town bakery with inexpensive coffee and giant cinnamon rolls. Everyone knew everyone, so when we came in, I think it was a little confusing because the highschoolers of Coupeville were in school, and us of course, we were not... >:) But they extended their hospitality and welcomed us with happy conversations and a wonderful atmosphere.
Knead and feed has found the way to my heart, and it's sad that it's so close, yet so far away. I often find myself craving another giant cinnamon roll. Mother's Day is coming up, and I've been spending every free second I have scouring the internet and looking through all my best cookbooks for the best giant cinnamon roll recipes!!!! When I find one, you'll know. ; )


Here are some more pictures from our trip!!!
