Come for the gourmet and stay for the people.Family owned Sluys Bakery is located in Poulsbo, Wash.,a Norwegian Village of 1O,OOO, a ferry ride from Seattle and 3O minutes of drive time. Work ethic and craftsmanship? Yes, open 7 days a week from 4:3O a.m. until 6:3O p.m. Sluys Bakery is remarkable. The people behind the counter are so polite, know everything about each product and exude professionalism. I try to walk in the door when few others are in the bakery because a lengthier talk with an employee is enlightening. Bakery products from supermarkets are more expensive than most items at Sluys. That’s the community ethos. People can afford to shop for what a NYC trendy bake house would charge three times as much for. Respect. It’s about respect.
