"It's hard for me to review Bun on the Run because they were out of their cinnamon rolls at 10am so I can't speak to whether or not they live up to the hype. The cheddar jalapeno roll I chose as an alternate was also sold out. They helpfully have a plate at the ordering area with samples of all of the baked goods so I picked what looked intriguing, which was a mandarin sour cream muffin. I generally don't like orange anything, but I tried it it because it was different and I am a sucker for anything different. The muffin had fantastic texture. The orange flavor was not strong, which was good for me, but might not be for others. The toddler I had with me, who normally eats anything declined to eat any. I also picked up a bag of multi-grain buns in a ziploc bag. The man in line behind me said they are great toasted. I will reserve judgment until they are toasted because a bite as-is was a bit dense and stale. The toddler, however, happily chewed on a hunk of it for a long time. This served a valuable purpose because I didn't think the little one actually needed food at this point, but it kept him happy and busy. I also got a monster cookie, which is a giant oatmeal cookie with oats, peanuts, M&Ms, peanut M&Ms, raisins, and probably other things. It was pretty good. It held up well for nibbling from throughout the day and I felt like I was getting some nutrition along with my cookie. Why Bun on the Run is getting 4 stars from me is that I liked their set up. They have quite a few outdoor tables, some with chairs, but many with logs with little covers. It was a nice place to sit outside and have a breakfast snack. The little one could then explore afterwards, and made friends, and had so much fun climbing up and down the little platform by the ordering window. The little one's new friends pointed out that there is a park across the street as well. The outdoor dining served us well as a break between rounds of bush shopping."
