Mc Laren's Pantry Has Moved

If you are a cookie lover like me, you might want to make note of the new location of this wonderful bakery and sandwich shop.  They have moved into the old location of City Bites in the Mardel shopping center at Boulevard and 33rd in Edmond.

McLaren's has all kinds of cookies including chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, shortbread, sugar (wonderful) and my favorite, no-bakes.  I love all of the cookies.  They also have all kinds of yummy bar cookies.

At lunch, they have all kinds of sandwiches, quiches, soups, salads, chips and drinks.  And did I mention that the the cookies are absolutely to die for?  YUM!  They also make trays for parties and special occasions.

The new location is larger with lots of windows, more tables (I think) and what looks like a larger kitchen.

Next time you are in the area, or just craving chocolate, be sure to stop by the new location of Mc Laren's for some yummy treats!
