Hyrum's Bear Creek Bakery makes
old-fashioned good food
By Jake Ipson
March 3, 2008 | HYRUM -- If you are looking for a great
meal, look no further then Bear Creek Bakery. Located
downtown in Hyrum, right on Main Street, sits a little
restaurant that has a lot to offer.
The restaurant is co-owned by Jan and David Wurst.
They came from northern California when a friend of
David's told them how wonderful of an area Cache Valley
is. So they decided to give Cache Valley a chance and
opened this unique restaurant.
David always wanted to have a log cabin and he loved
bears. That was the inspiration behind the design of
the restaurant. Upon entering the restaurant is a wall
that looks like a log cabin. Along the other wall are
paintings of bears and other wildlife.
Jan said, "It's so we can sit at our log cabin and
look out at the wildlife."
The restaurant looks great, but how about the food?
The food is great too. They have tried to make it so
the town has a place to go where they can get healthier
food.
The breads are made from organic flour. There are
no fillers in the bread either; they are made with pure
honey. Even though it says bakery on their name, they
provide many other types of food as well. You can come
in and get an espresso or a real-fruit made smoothie.
Or stop by for lunch or dinner; the menu includes hamburgers
and sandwiches. But you can also get fries with that
meal and these aren't your everyday frozen fries, these
are made from actual potatoes.
Another popular meal that they serve is a pasty. The
best way to describe a pasty would be a pot pie without
the gravy. Jan said they have sold 20 to 50 of these
pasties at a time. Jan got the recipe from her great-grandmother
which she got from an old English recipe. These dishes
are so popular, because you can take them home to freeze
and eat them when and wherever you would like. Jan says
they even make for a great meal on the go.
Another big attraction is the all-you-can-eat spaghetti
night every Wednesday night. If you are not in the mood
for spaghetti, other nights have different dinners as
well, but Wednesday is the only all-you-can-eat night.
To finish off the meal, an assortment of desserts are
made fresh daily. Such as their wheat and oat muffins,
those are high in fiber and low in calories.
So if you are ever in the area, stop in and try the
Bear Creek Bakery. The atmosphere is good, the food
is great and the prices are outstanding.
