     For the last 20 years, the Hampton “Donut Holes,” or as they’re more commonly referred to, “The Bakery Babes,” have been gathering at the Korner Bakery for their early morning coffee. At the table behind them, the men (who have not gained a moniker in town) hold their own gathering.
     “It gives us a reason to get up and get out of the house in the morning,” said Hampton resident Ruth Long.
     The group was at once eight women who gathered for their daily 8:15 a.m. coffee; they used to meet at 8 a.m., but say they’ve been getting “lazy.” They’ve been frequenters of the bakery since before their retirement, indulging in the sweet eats that owners Jane and Clifford Huff created for them.
     Jane Huff (Huff) points to a sign that signifies their morning gathering: “The secret to a perfect cup of coffee is to enjoy it with a friend.”
