A Bite of Sweetness on Brookside: Antoinette Baking Company

By Kathryn Keenan

Antoinette Baking Co. offers the freshest selections of macaroons, cookies, brownies, quiches, cakes, and pies on Brookside.  Located on South Peoria Avenue, this quaint bakery was opened a year ago by Molly Martin and Andrea Mohn, as an upcoming destination for hungry customers who wanted to get away from Brookside’s weekend commotion.

It provides a unique atmosphere with vintage tables, chairs, and decor. It’s the perfect place to energize before a day of work, bring a date, or unwind after a stressful day.

Antoinette Baking Co. was originally started as a day bakery, open only Monday through Friday, 7a.m.-4p.m.  Andrea wanted to add more to the evening scene on Brookside and started “Pie Night”.

Hosted every Friday and Saturday evening 7p.m.-10p.m., Pie Night offers the perfect date night opportunity.  They serve giant slices of pie (for two) at $5 a slice.   In addition, its constantly changing menu offers customers the opportunity to choose from four to five flavors each night.

I ordered a slice of the “Mile High Pie”, Antoinette’s most popular pie, which consisted of a chocolate crumb layer topped with chocolate mousse and a mound of whipped cream.

After finishing my pie, I chatted with the cashier- a current University of Tulsa student.  “We pre-make about 30 pies for each night of the weekend.  On some nights, all 30 are gone by 8:30p.m.,” said Maggie Lane.

I definitely recommend stopping by Antoinette Baking Co.  No matter what your mood or craving, you won’t be disappointed!  You can check out Antoinette’s menu at: http://antoinettebakingco.com
