we do things a bit differently, so we get asked a lot of questions. We love that.
Why 1871?We began the dream of our bakery in the kitchen of our Victorian era historic home, built in 1871. The name is a tribute to our history and the property’s connection to this amazing community.
The bakery is in a house?Yes. Well, kind of. The property has been many wonderful things over the years, from a house to a soda shop to a bed & breakfast (and more!). In its 152 years it has housed, hosted and welcomed many people visiting and with deep ties to our community. We’re just beginning this adventure and we have huge plans. While we welcome lovers of bread, pastry and history in the foyer and former dining room now, we are working toward a full bakery in the old soda and gift shop building.
When can we come?We bake Thursday through Saturday and love to see your smiling faces. We have a rotating menu that is posted every Wednesday. It always includes a line of sourdough breads, bagels and at least one pastry. We tend to sell out very quickly. but we’re always happy to reserve your favorite items. Message or call any time.
We’ll see you soon!
4:00 am comes early.
We hope you’re sleeping soundly
when our first loaves of bread go into the ovens.
We hope you’re still dreaming sweetly
when blueberry bagels are dancing in boiling water.
And we hope you’re waking gently when our kouign amann are filling the morning light with the smell of caramelizing dough and butter.
We love waking early so you don’t have to.
At 1871 Bakehouse every loaf of bread, every bagel, and every pastry is baked that morning. Every single one. No exceptions.
We’re happiest when we hand you baked goods warm from the oven.
That is what fresh means to us.
Thank you for being our reason for delicious smelling mornings.
