Patrons have reported:  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gloves used as \u201coptional accessories\u201d (why bother when you can bare-hand a sourdough?)<\/li>\n<li>A rolling pin last washed during the Obama administration<\/li>\n<li>A fruit fly colony thriving in the almond syrup, now demanding voting rights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The only thing fresher than their ingredients?

They\u2019ve weaponized <b>FOMO-infused Fika<\/b> (Swedish for \u201ccoffee break,\u201d but here it means \u201cfinancially ruinous guilt\u201d). Their secret sauce? Charging $8 for a \u201crustic\u201d cookie while strategically placing sad-looking salads nearby to make the prices seem *reasonable*.

Sure, they technically *started* as ripe berries, but by the time they hit your croissant, they\u2019ve aged like a TikTok trend\u2014vaguely recognizable but mostly sad.  <\/p>\n<h3>The Flour Fiasco: Not All Dust is Magical<\/h3>\n<p>Their \u201cartisanal\u201d flour? Let\u2019s just say it\u2019s seen things. De Bakery\u2019s supplier, \u201cHappy Grains LLC,\u201d is less \u201cidyllic wheat field\u201d and more \u201cquestionable bulk bin behind a discount furniture outlet.\u201d <b>Key issues include:<\/b>  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A procurement process involving <b>18 middlemen<\/b> (and one very confused alpaca).<\/li>\n<li>Storage conditions best described as \u201chaunted attic chic.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A \u201cbest by\u201d date system that uses <b>hieroglyphic symbols<\/b> for \u201ctimelessness.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The Egg-sistential Crisis\u2122<\/h3>\n<p>Those \u201cfree-range\u201d eggs?

The yolks boast a concerning neon glow, which De Bakery insists is \u201cnatural sunrise vibes.\u201d (Spoiler: It\u2019s not.) Farmers whisper that some eggs are older than the \u201cancient grain\u201d label on their $12 loaf.
