Stumbling upon a charming small-town bakery is always a delight, and The Upper Crust in Middleburg is the epitome of such a find. With no social media presence, I was thrilled to discover this gem while strolling down the street one afternoon. It was a happy surprise.
Housed in a building likely over 100 years old, The Upper Crust makes the most of its cozy space. Despite its size, it’s impressive to learn that everything is made in-house. The array of treats they offer is astonishing, especially for a town the size of Middleburg.
Their selection includes cookies, brownies, bars, and even donuts, all handmade and fresh each morning. The emphasis here is on quality and freshness, with no frills or unnecessary decor to distract from the food. This no-nonsense approach is a compliment, as it keeps the focus where it belongs—on the baked goods.
The bakery features two large display cases brimming with the day’s offerings, and a lunch menu displayed on the wall. Their sandwiches, crafted on bread or rolls made in-house, are a highlight. For those looking to take a dessert home, they offer full pies as well. And if the baked goods aren’t enough, The Upper Crust also serves ice cream.
While the interior is small and lacks seating, the outdoor options more than make up for it. The front porch has a few chairs, but the real treasure is out back. There, you’ll find tables and chairs with umbrellas for shade, creating the perfect spot to enjoy your treats.
If you find yourself in Middleburg craving something fresh-baked and delicious, The Upper Crust is a must-visit. Their breakfast and lunch options exceed expectations, proving that this small-town bakery knows how to do things right—fresh, daily, and with care.
