kendras_120On a not so uncommon rainy afternoon I found myself strolling into a hidden treasure located in North Lansing.  Many people are familiar with the gardens, greenhouse, and apple orchards of Baker’s Acres, but now there is a new addition to the venue, Kendra’s Café.

The cafe is located inside the former Garden Tea Room in the lodge at Baker’s Acres.  Kendra’s Café is a quaint country café, bakery, and candy store, owned and operated by Kendra Hart.  Kendra’s Café opened for business on Saturday, May 1, 2011.

Kendra’s offers homemade soups, salads, wraps, sandwiches, and an array of homemade baked goods, and confections.  In addition to the handmade treats there are many whimsical novelty candies to choose from.  The first floor seats thirty people and there is a second floor which will accommodate up to thirty-five.  The second floor area can be reserved for special events and used for additional seating.

Hart has a degree in pastry arts from Johnson and Wales.  Hart opened Kendra’s Culinary Creations in Moravia in 1996 as a home business, selling baked goods and custom cakes. From there Kendra’s Creations grew into a full blown catering business which now offers everything from the original business of specialty cakes and desserts, to both formal and informal buffet menus, brunches and appetizers.
