A thoughtful, vigilant reader brought to our attention that we were remiss in not mentioning this bakery in our brief Hamlet of the Week post on Monday (although we have mentioned the place before in a previous post). Imagine our chagrin! Since we are here to serve, we’ve decided to dedicate an entire post to Two Old Tarts Bakery in Bovina Center. Sadly, we haven’t had the pleasure of visiting Two Old Tarts, but we understand it’s gotten quite a bit of press over the years. In fact, it even garnered a mention in the “Opinionator” on NYT back in 2012. The owners, Scott Finely and John Schulman, hail from other places but discovered the magic of the Catskills a while back, met cute in 2001, fell in love, and decided to open a bakery together in 2012.

What’s great about the bakery is that they strive to use as many local ingredients as possible in their delectable baked goods. But they don’t just do treats. They also have a menu of sandwiches, soups, and salads. They do special orders, and according to their website, they’re in the process of setting up their online ordering system. The bakery is located in a great old Victorian building on Main Street that previously housed Heaven on Main Street. We’re looking forward to visiting and having a taste or five. Have you been? Let us know!
