Two Sisters Bakery is one of the "done miss" stops in Homer. They bake fresh bread daily and have lots of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. For dinner you will need to make reservations well in advance. Our favorite thing is to order a coffee and a nosh and walk 1/2 block to Bishop's Beach and eat while watching the waves, beach walkers and birds.
