In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The Test of Time Bakery aims to distinguish itself through a commitment to quality and handcrafted products. According to information released by the business, every item is made from scratch, with a focus on thoughtfully sourced ingredients, prioritizing organic and non-GMO options whenever possible. The bakery’s offerings will span classic baked goods, elevated plated desserts, and thick milkshakes. In addition to its sweet treats, the establishment will also serve warm beverages such as coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.
The new bakery is designed to be a welcoming space for various occasions, whether for casual meetups with friends, a cozy date night, or simply to enjoy a comforting pastry. Test of Time Bakery is positioned as a destination for all residents in Downtown Hagerstown.
