These pics are just a few hours apart…and we started with many hundreds of pieces baked off for the day 😬 We know so many folks have been taken off guard by our news the other and we appreciate the influx of visits from you guys. We’re trying to keep up the best we can and upping our production daily but we just wanna let you know that we’ve been selling out of pastries earlier in the day so please don’t be disappointed if the case empties out by the time you get in. We do have breakfast and lunch going throughout the day, so please feel free to enjoy all our other offerings. 😘

Dearest friends,

As we cross the threshold of Autumn, the falling leaves, the cooling air, and the end of harvest remind me of the nature of impermanence and the inevitability of change. It seems as good a time as any for me to announce that such a season of change has come into my personal life as well and I’ve made the decision to hang up my apron and step away from my beloved bakeshop. I understand that this may come as a shock and surprise to so many that share my deep affection for Crust & Crumbles so I’d like to take this opportunity to explain why and to share what you can expect.

When I baked my first loaf of bread to sell at the Rockford City Market in its inaugural year, I was only 25 years old. In the 17 years since, so much life has happened…my oldest daughter who was only a toddler back when I started C&C at the farmers' markets is now a sophomore in college and my younger two babies that were born a few years after I opened the brick & mortar bakeshop are now a preschooler and a toddler. The bakery has grown leaps and bounds over all these years thanks to all of your loyal patronage, and many amazing people have worked very hard alongside me to build this business into a thriving bright spot in our community. I’m extremely grateful to all my employees and to all our customers, and endlessly proud of what we’ve accomplished together.

This past summer had brought some unexpected news with it. My brother’s sudden passing a few months ago left a hole in our family’s hearts and further strengthened my resolve of wanting to be more present for my children and my elderly parents who live halfway across the world. And while I have a strong and capable team at the bakery that has my back, I don’t want to have to choose between being there to support them and being there for my family. My life and my priorities look starkly different now than when I first started C&C. And though it’s not been an easy decision to let go of something that’s still going so strong, I’ve accepted that just as it does in nature, even good things come to an end and that’s okay.

We will close the bakeshop on Christmas Eve just like how we end every calendar year, and also because that timeline naturally aligns with the end of my lease. Until then, the plan is to continue operating as normal, keep my team employed through the holiday season, support them through this transition, celebrate Crust & Crumbles, cherish every visit with you guys, and also to bake our hearts out!

This community’s embrace of our bakery has never failed to uplift my soul. Your love and generous support for it has truly changed my life. Thank you so much and I hope to see ya’ll when you stop by the bakeshop.

Yours truly,

Jojo

If you’re gonna go spend your hard earned money on any food, I’d say you should spend it on something that’s made from natural ingredients, that actually nourish you, that’s made by real humans, who run shops down the street from you, who keep your town fun. Because this is what “that” food looks like…if you don’t believe me, then try squeezing that loaf you grabbed at the grocery store and see the difference! 🙃

Please join us this Friday! Only one more Pizza Night left in 2026 after this one 🥲
