The Brunch Mystery: Who Took the Last Pastry?
Brunch is always better with a pastry—unless that pastry suddenly vanishes! When Mimi & Herb arrive for their usual weekend treat, they find themselves in the middle of a brunch mystery. Can they solve the case before brunch is over? 🕵️♀️🍩
The Missing Pastry Case
Mimi and Herb step into their favorite café, ready to enjoy a freshly baked pastry with their coffee. But as they approach the counter, something is off…
☕ Server: "You won’t believe this, but the last pastry we had just disappeared! It was here a minute ago!"
😱 Mimi: "A missing pastry? This sounds like a case for… brunch detectives!"
🔍 Herb: "Alright, we need clues. Where was it last seen? Who had access to it? And more importantly… what kind of pastry are we talking about?!"
The server sighs. "A cinnamon-sugar croissant—our special of the day! It was just about to be served when it disappeared."
Mimi and Herb exchange a look. It’s time to investigate. 🕵️♀️🕵️♂️
The Suspects & Clues
👨💼 Coffee-Loving Regular: Always orders a pastry, but today says they’re "just here for coffee." Suspicious?
👦 Mischievous Kid: Sitting at a table nearby… with suspicious cinnamon-sugar crumbs on their face.
🎒 Mysterious Traveler: Ordered something to-go and left in a hurry. Did the pastry end up in their bag by mistake?
👩🍳 Chef’s Assistant: Seen near the pastry display but insists they were "just cleaning up." Hmmm…
Mimi jots down notes. "Alright, Herb, let’s split up. We need to ask some questions."
Herb nods. "Right! I’ll handle the kid—I have a way with children."
Mimi smirks. "More like you act like a child."
The Big Reveal!
After gathering clues, Mimi and Herb piece together the mystery.
👜 The truth? The pastry was never stolen—it was accidentally packed in the traveler’s to-go order!
When they realize the mix-up, the café calls the traveler, who laughs and offers to return it. But since they’ve already left the city, the café makes a brand-new pastry just for Mimi & Herb as a reward for solving the case! 🎉
