Mission Home Bake Shop

This is an extremely small operation with about 10 baked products. We thought the chocolate chip cookies would be a fail-proof purchase but they weren’t good. We’ve heard great things about this bakery but want to be truthful that it’s probably just “Boonesville good” versus actually good. In other words, it’s cool that it exists but it’s definitely not a can’t-miss destination.

Hidden gem off the beaten path. A beautiful drive through the hills outside of Shenandoah National Park to a small bakery with delicious products! The honey wheat was perfect for breakfast. The pumpkin bread was so moist it was almost like cake. The carrot cake cupcakes were phenomenal without big chunks. The molases cookies were wonderfully spicy! Visit this place! CASH ONLY!

Bought their banana nut bread in the grocery store and loved it! Decided to make the beautiful drive to the bakery to buy some pumpkin bread. The selection in the shop was not very abundant, but we were able to get the pumpkin bread and it was good!

I picked up some Mission Home cinnamon rolls from Market Street Market in downtown Charlottesville today, and I can’t stop thinking about them. They’re delicious, super affordable (about $4.50 for four rolls), and a great size for sharing with friends or coworkers.

Mennonite operation on former old Mission Home site (see "A History of Faith Mission Home" by Kay Collins Chretien). Eggs, Cheese and Baked Goods. If unattended there is a doorbell button to push just inside front door. A nice stop in the middle of nowhere.
