You make us better.

We just want to take a moment to say thank you.

Since the day we opened the doors to The Bakery at 1871 at 127 N. Main St, 9 months ago, we have been doing our damndest to keep up with you. You all have truly blown us away with your ever growing support. As more and more of your smiling faces came through that door we recommitted to trying harder, invested in a ton of equipment, expanded our kitchen, got up earlier and earlier, became more efficient, and baked like we never knew we could. All in our continuing promise to bake your favorite breads and pastries fresh every morning. Never, not once, selling even a day old loaf or pastry.

Over the past 9 months I can recall very rare days when we didn't sell out well before closing time. Well, today we did it. Despite having more faces through our door than any previous Thursday in 9 months, we baked the most breads, bagels and pastries yet. We were so busy baking and filling, that we didn't even get pictures of new items for posting. And, as we greeted the last group of people just before closing, we had just enough in the cases to make sure they got sweet treats after their lunch.

As my husband and I look at each in awe of this massive feat of a day, we know we owe it all to you. You have made us better than we have ever been, and given us an amazing reason to get up at crazy hours of the morning (or is that technically night?). This may be our dream, but you're the biggest part of it and we love sharing it with you.

Now, I would talk about the insanity coming tomorrow as we work to shatter this new record and fill the incredible stack of reservations, but it still scares me a little. So, instead, I'm just going to say this with the most grateful of hearts, thank you for coming.

Thank you for being part of our bakery dream.
