Known for its inviting atmosphere and excellent customer service, it quickly becomes a favorite for locals and visitors alike. The bakery is particularly renowned for its exceptional muffins, which have earned rave reviews for their unique texture and delicious flavor. Made with fresh fruit chunks and sometimes topped with a layer of creamy cheese, these muffins are perfectly cooked with a satisfying, slightly chewy exterior.

Blue Sky Bakery Reviews
5/5 Great - The atmosphere is very nice, good amount of tables for a small cafe. Muffin selection is impressive, and they are very tasty. At $6 per muffin they should be great and they are. 4/5 Good - The regular latte slaps you around the face, you are getting a jolt of caffeine and you will like it! I also ordered a decaf version of the same and it was good. 3/5 Ok - We needed 3 chairs at our table and that caused two of the tables to have zero chairs, they could use a few more chairs.
Outstanding muffins! They put chunks of fresh fruit and/or a thick layer of fresh cream cheese in the muffins. They are properly cooked, unlike so many muffins which are gooey in the center. That slightly tough top texture of most high quality muffins is extended all around the muffin -- the outside of the muffin is a little bit chewy, all around the product, which is unique and perfect. You have "muffin top" all around the muffin! These are by far my favorite muffins, in a class by themselves.
Thanks for the wonderful find, Yelp!! Yummy muffins and if you catch them at the right time, you can even enjoy a muffin fresh out of the oven! Tasty, creative flavor combinations, but the muffins still have a simplicity about them so they're not overdone. Blue Sky is definitely worth a stop in!
I came here for breakfast on a Friday morning with a friend. Their muffins are so popular! They were out of some flavors but they keep making them so have to wait about 20 minutes for a new batch. Fresh muffins out of the oven are the best thing ever! Next to being off work which luckily I was that day (gotta love Summer Fridays). We ordered the zucchini/strawberry/chocolate chip, the carrot/pineapple/cream cheese, and the blackberry/peach muffins (basically, a muffin tasting). I really enjoyed the blackberry/peach the most probably because it was the only one fresh out of the oven so it was still warm and moist. The carrot/pineapple/cream cheese and the zucchini/strawberry/chocolate chip were good as well. I would definitely recommend if you like muffins since they have so many different flavors and they put whole fresh fruit in the muffins.
My go to breakfast spot in the area. George is fantastic and always welcoming. I keep coming back for the conversations and the pumpkin muffins and banana bread which is amazing. He recently has been doing empanadas which I can't get enough of. This place is a 10/10 and I try to recommend it to all my friends.
