Millboro, VA – In Bath County, Medora’s Bakery and Restaurant is up and running providing homemade sweet treats along with sandwiches and meals. Medora’s opened in mid-July and owner Medora Vicars is enjoying the experience of having her own business. And the best part for her?

“The baking,” says Vicars. “I love it. And when you’re happy doing what you do, then it’s all good.”

Medora’s Bakery and Restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. A variety of sandwiches and meals are on the menu for dine in or carry out.

“I’ve always worked in food,” says Vicars. “I’ve always worked in a bakery or with food. I’ve always cooked. I love to cook and bake.”

And Medora’s specializes in pastries, cakes, cookies, pies and bread which are all made from scratch. And Medora’s will make custom cakes and take special orders.

“All the cakes and pies are made to order,” says Vicars. “They are not frozen or prepackaged. They are made when they are ordered so that they’re fresh when they come to you.”

When placing a special order, please give as much notice as you can.

“Twenty four hours is really good,” says Vicars. “I know sometimes people get in a pinch and sometimes it works out. I do try my best to make sure everybody’s happy.”

Medora’s Bakery and Restaurant has four employees. Vicars has put in some 18 hour days this fall with a busy Thanksgiving holiday and hunting season.
