Sunny Moon Sconery
The person behind Sunny Moon Sconery, the first sconery in the Lehigh Valley, is passionate baker, owner and graphic designer Celia Strouse. Strouse’s love for baking and cooking dates to her preteen years. Her culinary adventures led her through a journey of dietary exploration, including whole-food plant-based (WFPB) baked goods, which inspired her to experiment with sourdough and finally become an expert in the making of artisan savory and sweet scones. “I envision a place where customers can indulge in a box of freshly baked scones with the same ease and convenience as doughnut shops,” says Strouse. Strouse and her daughter were perusing the Slatington Farmers Market when they learned that Wild & Free Bakery was about to close. Perceiving this as an opportune occasion, Strouse took the chance to execute her vision of opening her scone shop. The sconery serves savory and sweet sourdough scones on a rotating menu, with vegan and gluten-free alternatives available. There are also other baked products that are gluten-free and vegan, like banana bread, black bean brownies and apple crisps. Keep an eye out for specials like freshly made sourdough bagels, soft pretzels and focaccia. With the goal of opening a storefront in Bethlehem, Sunny Moon Sconery has already made great progress with the welcoming embrace of the community.
