Mama Esther’s Bakery and Boarding House
A humble, timeworn building, Mama Esther’s Bakery is a hidden gem in the city, filling the air with the rich scents of fresh bread and warm spices long before dawn.
Mama Esther, a round-faced matron with flour-dusted hands and a sharp tongue, is renowned for her flaky rolls, golden-crusted loaves, and sweet pastries. On special occasions, she bakes cakes and pies so delicious they are rumored to bring good luck—though she insists the only luck comes from a well-fed belly.
In addition to her bakery, Mama Esther rents out four small rooms to travelers in need of cheap, no-questions-asked lodging. At just 1 silver piece per week, it’s a bargain—though guests should expect little beyond a stiff cot and a warm meal.
