Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays
9am-3pm with Loaves, Baked Goods, Full Cafe Menu
(Note the later closing time)
*edit 6/25: We had planned to stay open till 4pm Fri-Sun but Nick works a 16 hour day Friday and Britin is at the Farmers Market all day - we just can't push our stamina levels any further without complete burnout occurring. We'll try again at a later date. Sincere apologies!



On Thursdays, we will be focusing on our wholesale accounts with Mingle (crackers, flatbreads, burger rolls), Slidin' Dirty (slider rolls), Dali Mamma (sandwich loaves, mini baguettes) and a new partnership with the Honest Weight Food Coop (onion burger rolls for specialty sandwiches). We will attempt to produce crackers and dog treats that have been in high demand for retail sale at the shop and Saturday Delmar Farmers Market (other prep for the market will take place on Thursday as well). We hope to start providing FarmieMarket with burger and hoagie rolls for their Thursday deliveries and we'd like to produce enough to also have them available at the shop/farmers market. As you can see, we will be very busy bees. We won't be able to do all of this at once, but we'll streamline in good time. 















Reasoning:
 Wednesday and Thursdays during summer have been traditionally less busy at the shop. We suspect it has to do with the abundance of food trucks downtown, warm weather and soft grass on which to cop a squat (not to mention not having to drive for lunch). We get it, we'd do the same if we worked downtown and have love for our fellow food entrepreneurs! During winter, it seems we get a lot more downtown business. Plus, everyone we know is patronizing one of the fabulous farmers markets or CSAs available in our area, which means you're all eating more fresh food - how could we scoff at that? We're adjusting to changing market conditions while trying to capitalize on the higher demand for wholesale that has been coming our way, and focusing on adding additional requested products. Personally, these hours work better for our family in summer - we all get up and go to bed a little later. We're hoping it'll work out to be a win all around.

WE WILL BE OPEN FRI-SUN WITH A FULL MENU,
BAKED GOODS & LOAVES!
Please help spread the word.

Eat Well, Do Good,
Britin & Nick Foster
