We couldn’t do this without you.

At 1871 we still believe in the goodness of small batch, artisan made bread and pastry. Simply, honestly, and passionately, We never want to trade our values, beliefs, or your trust in our baked goods for the loss in quality and care involved in larger production. That’s just not us. But the truth is, baking with these values is not profitable. It’s a labor of love driven by a lifelong dream. In our undying efforts to maintain our standards for the highest quality ingredients and freshly baked breads and pastries, we do things differently. Every day we do our very best to plan our quantities to meet reservations and walk-in service as closely as possible. In fact, we hope to sell out just as our doors close for the day. That’s because product sitting on our shelves after closing is an expensive loss to a small bakery like ours, and one we don’t ever want to pass on to our customers in higher pricing or in poor value stale, day-old products. We also know this causes us to sell out sooner than we’d all hope from time to time, and we don’t want that either. You should be able to come in and get a fresh loaf of bread or pastry any time we’re open. So we need your help. We want to hear your requests, the bread and pastry you can’t wait to see again, and reservations to help us determine quantities. We need to hear from you, because we couldn’t do any of this without you.

Thank you for being the best part of our bakery dream.
