Geez.....the last day of January! 2026 is off and running! (Too fast for me)!
Rained some this morning and we were off to Punta Gorda to meet Allie and Owen at Leroy's Southern Kitchen - we've eaten here a few other times with them and always good. It was packed today and food was delicious. We then walked towards a wine/coffee/chocolate shop we've visited before only to find out it was gone??? Sign on the door said they are opening soon at Fisherman's Village. We asked a lady nearby if she knew of another coffee/bakery in the area. She suggested "Steph's Bakery" on Marion. We walked there (it was cold and windy) and found it! What a gem. It only opened about 6 weeks ago and has a large variety of pastries and desserts + sandwiches, quiche, soups, etc. Allie had a scone and rest of us, desserts + coffee.....neat place and very busy on a chilly Saturday afternoon. Nice write-up in the paper (North Port) about Sergio and Steph Smith's new business venture hanging on the wall. Also have a large variety of succulent plants for sale.
We sat and yakked and yakked.....then time to say goodbye. We'll see them in February at their home in North Port.
