It's been an absolute delight to awaken to crisp fall air.... this is surely the best time of year with all it's color and charisma. Come embrace warming spices and sweater weather with us ♡

09/08/2024

🚨 Hours Update! 🚨

We’re making some changes again! 🎉 Some of you will be thrilled 😊, while others might be a bit bummed 😔. The 7-day schedule has not proven to be sustainable in a long-term sense, so we're going back to our previous hours effective immediately.

🔹 Closed: Monday & Tuesday 🚪 🔹 Open: Wednesday-Sunday, 7am-7pm ⏰

And guess what? We’re open till 7 on Sundays AND cooking up something special for a Sunday treat! 🫴😀 Stay tuned!

09/03/2024

Here comes the fall and the return of school time. As things go back to normal speed, you can count on us for the extra flavor you need ♡

We will have our new monthly coffee menu ready for you by mid-day tomorrow.... I know we usually just talk about our donuts, and our coffee menu takes a back seat... but I think it's worth mentioning ... We carry Kru Coffee. Locally roasted in Saratoga. Rainforest Alliance Certified, Fair Trade, ORGANIC, and Kru Coffee forms relationships with farmers who pay their workers fair wages. All of these things matter deeply to us, and it is why we chose to partner with them and carry their products. It is also worth mentioning that we price our coffee beverages VERY COMPETITIVELY, Especially when you take into account that we offer a heavier espresso pour than what is considered standard... what I mean by this is a small espresso beverage gets 2 shots of espresso, a large 3, and our Xl size gets 4 shots. We utilize a super automatic Swiss made Espresso machine which handles the grinding and tamping internally and produces a consistent pull every single time for a consistent product every single time. Thanks for reading my little coffee rant. See ya soon ♡

09/01/2024

Friendly Reminder that we will NOT be open Monday (9-2) or Tuesday (9-3)

08/26/2024

Bringing back the JUST DESSERTS for round 2! This was definitely one of our fan favorite weeks and the specials tend to go quick 💨 This is our last summer menu before we go all basic b***h on y'all and make everything about Apples and Fall 🤣 (I think I might even have some apple cider donuts and apple fritters up my sleeve)
We will also have a Just Desserts beverage special board for just this week... mostly because the time has come to pull some of you off the Iron Throne and get ya back into a Birthday Cake latte.... seriously, we've never gone through as much French vanilla, Brown Sugar, and cold brew as we have in the last month. We also pulled out the Pumpkin Spice today as so many people have been asking about it 🥰

📣📣 Lastly... we will be closed next Mon and Tues 9-2 and 9-3

See ya soon ♡

08/21/2024

Sorry I'm a day late, but here's our flavors for the week.
Bringing back the blueberry filled donut with coffee cake topping for another go this week because it was so popular last week and it's blueberry season.
Also won't want to miss the Coffee Cream n Sugar donut filled with espresso whip cream and tossed in coffee sugar.

See ya soon

08/19/2024

We will be closed today to prepare for this new menu we are launching on Tuesday 8/20. Thanks for bearing with us as these last couple weeks as we ran out of things from the old menu.

08/16/2024

Forgive my quickly thrown together graphic. The last few days we have been working though some extra frostings and glazes and fillings from custom orders and overages from previous flavor menus but we wanted to give you something to look forward to for the next couple days...

We love riding a trend... whether it's a flavor, a character, a movie or just good old fashioned nostalgia... so when one of our decoraters mentioned Gilded Age, I was willing to toss around ideas and see where it went... wasn't really enough to make a whole theme out of... unless y'all want some variations of a celery donut 😄 but we essentially have some very decadent Gilded style flavors for your palates pleasure. We will also be debuting 3 new flavors... and I'm sorrynotsorry that one of them is Pumpkin. I herby declare it close enough to fall to pull out the pumpkin. 😛 We will of course always have our classics.

See you tomorrow ♡

08/05/2024

Great news! Our air conditioning has been fixed and we got a great line up of donuts coming at ya this week. Calling upon the nostalgia of peak 90s handheld snacks! We left some space in our flavor line up to bring you some fresh creativity on the daily as well.
See ya soon ☆~

08/05/2024

This one goes out to our friends in the north! This Saturday August 10th is the Glens Falls Vegan Festival. We had originally planned to show up and throw a whole food party for you, but for many reasons we have had to dial back and come up with a Plan B as to not back out completely.
We will be accepting pre-orders which will be delivered straight to you at the Festival. We will arrive between 1 and 2 pm with your goodies all packaged and ready for your unboxing pleasure. Simply send your payment to either digital platform, include your full name so we can ensure you get the correct order and we will see you on Saturday with your goodies.

08/05/2024

No...Seriously... our air conditioner said take this job and shove it!

I hate closing the shop in an unplanned manner, but it would not be responsible to ask our staff to work in temps higher than what we are already dealing with, nor would I be proud to serve you what would most likely be drippy, melty, flat donuts. I'm gonna do my best to solve this issue and be back up and running on Tuesday, heck maybe we can come back cooler than ever 🤟

I'll keep ya updated ♡

08/01/2024

07/11/2024

Happy Thursday, friends . Tania here, in the spirit of transparency and transitions, I have a lot of information to disseminate.

At the forefront of my mind is the quality of the donuts over the last few weeks to a month(or more)... Yeast risen donuts are a labor of love- They are also prone to a bevy of variables we adjust accordingly for, such as heat, humidity, New equipment, yeast quality ( no control over that) and the ability and skills of the people working with it to be in touch with the science behind all these variables. All this to say... this is my formal apology if you have gotten a less than stellar donut in the recent past.
This is also my assurance to you going forward that it's been sorted and the donuts are, in fact, 100% Bitchin again. I'm back in the dough room and ready to fluff things up 🤪

Now that the sad is out of the way... onto some coming changes.
New Hours - This is exciting because we have been trying so hard to come to you 7 DAYS A WEEK, and starting this week, we are going to give it a trial run.
New Menu - We are also dropping a new menu very soon - adding some new things like smoothies and ice cream treats or specials. If you haven't stopped in for a bit, you may not know we are offering bagels for brekkie sams, croissants, and occasionally muffins as well.

Please bear with us as we transition thru these next few weeks. We've been training a lot of new people, and now we are switching a lot of things up on them, and the heat we are dealing with in the whole house is borderline insane.

07/09/2024

This week we invite you to come and get JUST DESSERTS- As in our specials this week will all be themed upon classic desserts ♡
.

07/06/2024

Peaches n Cream donut making it's debut!! This baby is filled with peach jam, topped with house made whip cream and topped with dried peach flakes
It's the first time we've made them and they are sure to go quick ♡

07/05/2024

Not our usual content, but sometimes you gotta throw mud at the wall and hope something sticks...

Folks, this is Mickie, they have worked for us since before we moved our whole operation to Albany and they dutifully make the commute from Glens Falls area down here to continue being a part of our team. We wouldn't have it any other way..... except maybe a little closer 🤔
This is proving to be a real challenge... the housing/rental market in this area is tight and even with a bunch of us helping we've only been able to muster missed connections and near misses.

I'm hoping for some leads for Mickie if you can help them out... Mickie would like to be with in a 15 minute commute from Lark Street, Sweet budget spot would be around $1000+plus utilities, could swing a bit more if it included some utilities. Mickie won't leave Norma behind, and Norma insists upon being a one cat household. Mickie comes with references. Tagging Mickie so they can take advantage of any leads anyone may have. Thanks so much.

07/04/2024

Happy Fourth of July!! Check out these Bitchin Burgers!!! A yeast donut cut in half with a peice of chocolate cake in the middle 🍔

06/17/2024

Seeking strong team players who enjoy working in a fast paced, always evolving setting. Prior Barista or Bakery experience a huge plus, but we are willing to train the right person. Weekend availability is a must as that's when we really need you.

☕️ Counter/Barista- Run a till, pack orders, maintain product levels, serve guests accurate orders.
🍩 Donut Decorater- Ability to commit to a 4am start time. Attention to detail and ability to follow written instructions are essential. Ideal candidate is a creative visionary who is passionate about producing edible works of art.
🔪🥬 Dish/Kitchen Porter- Ensures kitchen cleanliness and food par levels are kept to standards. Supports all team members and helps where needed.

We'd love to start training you right away. Reach out to start a conversation to see if we would be a good fit or to inquire further.

We offer a competitive living wage plus tip share for all employees.

Earlier this year my family took a trip to Florida to visit some friends and soak up some much needed sunshine. We went to a donut shop there that holds my own personal "Best Donut I ever ate" award. The base you might swear was a cake donut... but it also had clear signs of being yeast risen. What a glorious bite, amazing texture and wow ... the flavor... Guava Cheescake.🤯 I'm excited to bring you my version this week, along with a lot of other really great flavors we have not done in a while. The only catch..... we just signed up for a new ingredient supplier and that means this week only, we won't be able to bring you the full menu tomorrow... we will have the full menu available on Thursday.
Tomorrow we will make all the varieties we can and then fill the gaps with chefs whim 👩‍🍳
Sunday we will have Specially Designed and Decorated Donuts for Dad's 🍩

06/07/2024

Birch Bark Eatery — A vegan restaurant in Queensbury, New York

Owner Tania Sharlow, a Queensbury mother with 15 years of experience in the food industry as a crew member-turned-manager at Dunkin Donuts, had the idea to open up her own vegan restaurant after four years of transitioning into a completely plant-based diet.

Lacking a variety of satisfactory meat substitutes, she decided to make her own.

The restaurant's signature item is the Reuben, which is the sandwich that started Ms. Sharlow making her small-batch seitan, a vegan meat-free “meat” that is made with wheat gluten.

“I became vegetarian to improve my health and soon afterward began learning about the devastation that the factory farming industry is causing to the Earth,” says Ms. Sharlow.

“I've always been concerned about the effects we have on the environment and after learning about the pain and torture that meat production causes I knew I couldn't continue to put my hard earned money into it.”

After going vegan, “I was a little lost,” she continues. “How do you cook without eggs and butter? I began trying new things and became obsessed with making food that was just as good as its non-vegan version and it turns out that I am pretty good at that.”

Menu items include fried pickles with ranch, tempura broccoli with garlic aioli, krab cake with lemon balsamic aioli on a bed of greens, classic French onion soup, Philly Chzz Stayq, Cran-Faux-Turky, BBQ Jackfruit, and numerous other sandwiches, as well as a stuffed burger filled with chorizo garlic chz filling, and a build-your-own burger option with three choices of patty including the Beyond Burger and Impossible Burger, both new foods which have been featured in the press lately for their ability to convert carnivores.

“We have been warmly embraced by the like-minded community,” says Ms. Sharlow.

Vegans often have only one menu choice in restaurants, or get stuck ordering salad. “So many people are thrilled to have an entire menu of items they can choose from.”

She chose this location because it was a blank slate and because being on a main road was an important factor to make it easy for travelers to find, but faced challenges on the path to opening her doors.

“We were scammed by a contractor for nearly $5,000 and lost a lot of possible sales in trying to scrape together funds to recoup that loss,” she says. “The plan was to open in May 2018, but I had to go back to a kitchen that served meat and work 80 hours a week to pay for the restaurant to open.”

Ms. Sharlow created the kitchen from scratch, installing a hood and fire suppression system. The space also features tree-inspired seating, birch bark décor, and artwork by the owner's 16-year-old daughter, Azalea Gardner.

“It was long, arduous and expensive, but worth it now to be on the other side of this, and serving our community more than just great food — the hope for a better future.”
