One of the newest businesses in Evant is a bakery called Mad Hatter's Sweets & Eats. It is owned by Rich and Janet Maywood and is located on the east side of the Square. It has been getting rave reviews. I sure enjoyed my orange and cranberry scone. Melissa Pascale (middle person in 1st photo) takes care of the cake decorating. They also own an antique shop on the west side of the Square.
