Is there a kids’ menu? No, but there are kid-friendly items including chocolate chip cookies, shortbread cookies, rugelah and what the owner calls her "sushi cookies" which are shortbread cookies with rainbow sprinkles along the edges.

Are there healthy options on the kids’ meal? All the baked goods are made in house which means no preservatives. In addition, everything is baked on the premises so things are fresh. If your kids are going to have cookies and bread, it's much better to have them fresh from a bakery than pumped full of preservatives and chemicals like they are at the supermarket.
How does the restaurant deal with food allergies? All items are kosher and there are no nuts in their cookies. Alert the staff and they will steer you towards items you may have.
Is the restaurant so quiet that any childish outburst will draw attention or is there enough noise that a small cry is likely to go unnoticed? It's a bake shop (no seating at all) and not a restaurant but items are sold either by the dozen, 1/2 dozen, or by the pound. Kids will love checking out the workings of a real bakery. Even this big kid had a wonderful time watching the expert baker sheet the dough and lay it out in pans. Bonus: it smells amazing!
For the Meet the Chef/Owner, check back with Narberth-Bala Cynwyd Patch on Thursday.
