❤️A little appreciation post from The Sour Bar

Every Saturday, I show up hoping people will enjoy what I bake. Hearing someone say, “I came to the market just for your tent,” never gets old. Honestly, it still catches me by surprise every time, and it means more than you know.

The support, kind words, repeat customers, and excitement you all bring to the market make the early mornings, long baking days, and flour-covered kitchen completely worth it. What started as a small dream has grown because of this amazing community, and I’m so grateful for every single loaf, bagel, English muffin, and focaccia you’ve trusted me to make.

Your support gives me the confidence to keep creating, experimenting, and bringing new fun seasonal flavors to The Sour Bar. I have so many ideas I’m excited to share, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for showing up, supporting local, and making The Sour Bar what it is. You all are pretty incredible. ❤️

Sourdough Fun Fact of the Day! 🍞✨

Did you know traditional English muffins are meant to be split with a fork, not sliced with a knife? Using a fork creates all those nooks and crannies that catch melted butter, jam, and honey in every bite.

At The Sour Bar, our Tall Boys are naturally leavened with sourdough for extra flavor, a soft interior, and those signature nooks and crannies you know and love.

What’s your favorite way to enjoy an English muffin: butter, jam, breakfast sandwich, or something else? 👇

An Ode to Hot Stuff Bagels

Hark! Gather near and lend thine ears,
For Hot Stuff now at last appears.
A bagel bold, of cheddar bright,
With pickled jalapeños tucked just right.

’Tis not for those who fear a flame,
Yet neither doth it scorch the same.
A gentle heat, a cheesy grace,
Shall bring a smile upon thy face.

Golden baked and fair to see,
Most noble breakfast fare be thee.
So prithee haste, delay no more,
And seek thy Hot Stuff at The Sour Bar’s door.

🌶️🥯✨
