We’ve Reopened!

We are THRILLED to share that we reopened our small but mighty bake shop on Saturday, September 23rd! We have spent the last two months cleaning, demolishing, repairing, sanding, painting…and of course, baking. And now we’re ready to welcome everyone back to our downtown Montpelier storefront with open arms and lots of yummy treats.

Our bakery and production space is now fully operational, and our retail space is up and running as of this past weekend. So if you’ve been holding off on ordering or using the gift cards you purchased to support us during our recovery effort, please fire away! And if you’re local and can come visit, we’d love to see you.

Thank you for your support, generosity and love during these past few months. We couldn’t have done this without you!

With love and gratitude,

Elisa Garcia-Rey, Owner

Our Bake Shop & Bakery Are Closed

As many of you may already know, our second home of Montpelier, VT is currently underwater. We haven’t yet been able to access our Bake Shop to assess the damage, and as such it is difficult to estimate when we will be back up and running again. We will post updates here and on our social media as they become available. We thank you in advance for your patience, your understanding and your support as we navigate this unprecedented event.

7/17/2023 - Update: We’ve spent the last five days ripping up floors, tearing out walls, tossing out damaged items, and cleaning whatever we can. We have a long road ahead of us on our way to recovery. If you’d like to help, here are some ways you can support our business and our community of Montpelier:

Donate - You can donate directly to our GoFundMe, to the Montpelier Alive fund or to the Vermont Flood Response Recovery Fund.

Volunteer - You can sign up to volunteer via MontpelierAlive.com or Vermont.gov.

Purchase Gift Cards - You can buy gift cards on our website for future use online or at our bake shop, or you can place orders now for future fulfillment (date TBD).

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our Store is Opening!

Hello friends,

We are so excited to share that after many months of preparation, we are opening the bright blue door to our bake shop! Everyone (and their pups!) is invited to celebrate the grand opening with us on Saturday, May 27th in downtown Montpelier. The festivities will start at 11AM at our 5 E State St location, and will include special doggy door prizes, free samples, refreshments and kid- and pet-friendly entertainment. We can’t wait to celebrate and look forward to seeing you all in our bake shop soon!

Many Thanks,

Elisa

Some updates on the horizon…

Hello friends,

We wanted to let you know about a few updates happening on our end over the coming months.

First off, as many other businesses weathering the pandemic have experienced, our costs have skyrocketed over the past few years, from ingredients to packaging and beyond. We have not changed our pricing in over 5 years, but we've realized it's time to face the hard truth that in order to stay alive and stay true to our values, our prices must go up.

We are deeply committed to sourcing as many of our ingredients locally as possible, and working with small, local farm partners and producers to do so. This commitment to quality and support of the local food economy translates into higher quality, and higher costs. We fully believe in not taking the easy, cheap shortcut for our business and its products, and through your support for us over the years we know that you do, too.

Our updated pricing goes into effect on July 1st, at which time you will see it reflected on our website and at our amazing network of local retailers. We thank you in advance for continuing to support us amidst these changes, and in so doing supporting both the local businesses that carry our treats and the local farms and producers that provide us with their ingredients.

In the months ahead we will also be announcing the return of an old favorite (Tico's Tasties, our beloved salmon & kale variety!), as well as the opening of our new kitchen and retail location, including expanded bulk offerings. More details on those coming soon!

As always, we are incredibly grateful for your continued support of our tiny (but mighty!) business, and we look forward to serving you and your furry friends with our products for many years to come.

Many Thanks,

Elisa
