New Raisin Oatmeal Cookies at Bank Square

I don't know what's going on here, but there is a shortage of chocolate chip cookies on the west end of Main Street. For today's work session, I've gone to Bank Square Coffee to have a decaf and a chocolate chip cookie, but alas, they are out, as was Crumb yesterday. The locals must have devoured them all on the unexpectedly sunny day this past Sunday.
This is a good time to test the oatmeal raisin cookie and tell you about Bank's new baker, Nature's Pantry Kitchen. The oatmeal raisin cookie is big and round and soft, with a spot on touch of cinnamon. The raisins aren't overpowering, and it's not too oat-y. There is another backup option for those who crave chocolate chips of a chocolate chip scone which looks pretty good, but I haven't tried it yet.
The blueberry muffin is a serious competitor to The Coffee House's. Bank's has a nice crumb topping, maybe an inch in thickness? And the blueberries are huge! And pop in your mouth. They are in the entire muffin, not just the top.
Ok, off to start my work session on this rainy day!
