We are convinced Galena is just Stars Hollow in disguise now that our favorite season is officially here! ☕🍂

We’re marking our calendars for all the incredible community events coming up. From the Oktoberfest wiener dog races to the biggest Halloween Parade in the tri-state area!

Send this to a friend if you’re more into the Hallmark Holiday magic. Holidays around here feature the Jingle Jeep Parade, the Fire in the Sky fireworks, the Bicentennial Drone Show, and the breathtaking Night of the Luminaria—where we’ll be keeping our doors open late until ~7:30 PM to keep you warm and well-caffeinated! 🕯️🎄🥐

Drop a 💙 if we’ll see you at one of these upcoming events!

The day we picked up the keys. 🔑
We were thinking ‘WE CAN TOTALLY DO THIS!’

After our first shift we were thinking ‘CAN we do this?!’😅

We had been awake for well over 24 hours.
While no one had really heard much about us at the time, people REALLY came out for our first weekend.

It may not look like it, but we were on cloud 9.

The storefront makeover begins! 💙

“Let’s just add some plumbing for the barista bar!” ☕️
A seemingly simple project that became… quite a bit bigger than we imagined… 🙃

DRYWALL! 🎉
Okayyyy, now we could finally see it coming together!

Also: Alex… those are NOT approved construction-zone shoes. 😂

Look at her now! 🥹
Everything was finally coming together with the creation of a bakery case.

OPENING DAY CREW!!! 🥹❤️
The people who helped us turn this crazy little dream into a real bakery.
(And yes, Greg refused to be in the picture. 😂)

And now… five years later. 🎂☕️
Grab a Birthday Cake Latte and celebrate 5 YEARS of Galena Bakehouse with us!

We really, truly couldn’t have done it without our locals & regulars.
