Smash Burgers Featured In Warminster Bakery Grand Reopening

WARMINSTER, PA —The Meadowlark Bakery & Cafe' is back in business.

After nearly a year since it opened last December, the bakery held a grand reopening Tuesday in the Hartsville Commons with Owner/Chef Bryan Young now offering a full menu and expanded hours.

"With great relief and excitement, we are going to in fact reopen this Tuesday," Young posted on Facebook. "A lot of hard work from our contractors and staff has been paramount to putting everything back together, better than ever!"

The bakery will now be open from Tuesday to Saturday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday.

Its menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner has also expanded to include smash burgers, jumbo chili/sauerkraut hot dogs, ice cream all day, chicken cutlet sandwiches, pastries, baked goods, and coffee drinks.

Young said his inspiration for the burgers and hot dogs came from a business in Maine where he grew up.

"Before Five Guys, before Shake Shack, I had Bolley's," he said. "This place is an institution here in Waterville, Maine, and with our dinner menu coming up, I am pulling a lot of inspiration from this landmark. A killer hotdog and smash burger will be a staple on our new menu and will be the next story in the chapters of Meadowlark Bakery & Café. I can't wait to put our spin on an American staple."

Young, a Maine native, specializes in a vast array of French and American specialty hearth breads, pastries, and savory cuisine.

He attended Southern New Hampshire University and studied Culinary Arts at The Culinary Institute of America, according to the bakery's website.

Young bakes classic French pastries from scratch, his specialty the Kouign Amann, essentially a caramelized croissant, is a fan favorite. He also makes all sorts of breads, sandwiches, and other items.

Young said, though, that over the past year, he received "a lot of valuable suggestions" to better serve his customers.

So Young closed to make renovations, adding a new chilled pastry case.

A new menu also boasts wheat-free options and Home Maine ice cream. There's also online ordering for pastry pick-ups, catering trays, new Meadowlark-tiered naked cakes, and more.

"We’re so excited for this next chapter of our journey and thank you for your patience as we get prepared for our biggest menu expansion yet," Young said. "With all sincerity, we wanted to express how much my staff and I appreciate your patience and are looking forward to seeing you all."
