Find the bakery
Pear Street, two doors from the laundromat.
One bakery, one location. We open at 7 on weekdays, 8 on weekends, and close at 1pm or whenever the shelves go empty — whichever lands first. The shelves go empty earlier than 1pm about three days a month. The Instagram post by 11am will tell you if today is one of those.

The country sourdough usually holds until late morning. The seeded sourdough is gone by 10. Pastry, by 11 on weekends. If you want to be sure of a specific loaf, the preorder system is the move.
Getting here
Park behind the wine shop, or take the 22.
Street parking is the easy answer.
Pear Street and Apple Street both have unmetered street parking until 5pm. The small lot behind the wine shop is free for the bakery before 9am. Bike rack out front fits six; the alley rack on the east wall fits four more.
No drive-thru. Not now, not ever.
22 bus stops at the corner.
The 22 bus stops at Pear and 4th, half a block from the door. Light rail Green Line is about eleven minutes on foot, longer if you stop at the wine shop on the way. Accessible entry through the main door; one low step at the alley entrance.
19 min from downtown by transit
First time?
What to do when you walk in.
Take a number from the dispenser by the door. The counter will call you. Ask what came out of the oven last — the answer changes by the hour and is always the most honest recommendation. If you can’t decide, the country sourdough is the answer. Sam, baker
The counter line moves fast. Card or cash, both fine. Bring your own bag if you’ve got one — we’ll deduct fifty cents.
What you walk into
One narrow room, one counter, full shelves.
The whole shop is about 600 square feet — counter on the left, two bistro tables by the window, the deck oven visible through a pass-through at the back. By 7:15 the shelves are mostly full and the room smells like the morning bake all the way to the door.
It’s a quick visit if you know what you want. Sit a minute if you don’t.
