Well first the "good". I brought my 2 year old son in so he could experience it the for the first time. He was astounded at all the wonderful cookies and cakes on display and the gentleman behind the counter promptly got him a gingerbread cookie. He loved it. My wife and I also purchased a cookie and as always it was GREAT!
I got my favorite loaf of rasin bread for breakfast (frosted of course) and asked for an order of hermit cookies. This was the first time the hermit cookies came in a pre-set amount (again haven't been there in a few summers) packaged in a plastic container. I noticed they were a bit smaller but figured I could use to lose a few pounds anyway.
Well everything was great, however when eating the hermit cookies they definately didn't seem to be as fresh. They were harder then I ever remember and I didn't know if I got a bad batch or if anyone else had noticed.
By any means I will not consider pulling business, I plan to mention something next time I am there but was just wondering if anyone else noticed?

Not everything at the Yum Yum hits a home run BUT it is still the charming shop that is a Wolfeboro staple. We are a three generation Yum Yum family and my grands love it as much as I did. One of my sons recalls being given his first free gingerbread man and was delighted to see his daughter have the same experience. His quote - "It's like a really nice drug dealer - hook them young."
And the blueberry pies - still the best ever! I do miss those amazing donut holes though.
