Our Story

How it started.

A bakery on Washington Street in Rushville. On September 26th, a second location opened in Mt. Sterling.

We specialize in sourdough bread, with breakfast and lunch served on our scratch-made bread and a rotating selection of sweet treats.

We proudly support, use and sell locally roasted Goshen Coffee. Enjoy a cup with your breakfast or take some home.
