Five Cardinals Bakery

11/30/2024

We've been dreading this post and putting it off longer than we should, but we have decided to close Five Cardinals Bakery. Running our little bakery has brought us so much joy. We've had the opportunity to do what we love, but mostly we've gotten to know the most extraordinary people. With our whole hearts, thank you all so much for your support and kindness. We will miss baking for you terribly, but this is the right thing for us right now.

If you're looking for a "last fix", we've fully stocked The Magpies' Nest this weekend, and there will be limited quantities there next week.

And just one more time because it can't be said enough, thank you all.

The bread is back! The bread is back! We're not quite up to our usual quantity yet, but we have fresh rustic sourdough and pumpernickel at The Magpies' Nest today! Also lots of pastries, cookies, and even some pumpkin cheesecake bars!

We have new pastries! Our matcha-striped croissants and chocolate-stripes croissants take croissants to a whole new level! Plus, aren't they adorable? Come stop by and try them out! The Magpies' Nest is open until 8 tonight!

We're back at the market!! Eric still isn't quite up to making the sourdough, but we have lots of focaccia, pastries, crackers, cookies...and pumpkin cheesecake bars! 😋

We are inside the Meadows until 1:00 today and at the Magpies' Nest until 8!

Real life update: Eric, our founder and chief baker (principal baker? He needs a real title) is having surgery on his arm tomorrow. A life spent as a musician and a bread baker has resulted in a nasty case of carpal tunnel syndrome. This is why we haven’t been at the farmers market the last couple of weeks. It’s been getting progressively harder for Eric to bake. So, what does this mean for you, our lovely customers? It’s unfortunately going to mean less bread for a little while. We won’t know how long his recovery will be until after the surgery. We’re hoping to still be able to provide some focaccia and pastry through The Magpies’ Nest, but quantities will be more limited. We’re going to try to compensate for limited bread with extra cookies and treats, but we know this isn’t a perfect exchange. We’ll try to get back to normal as quickly as we can. In the meantime, thank you all so much for your continued support!

It’s the first full weekend of fall, and the weather is…well…not great. But that’s all the more reason to come grab some bread to serve with a bowl of warm soup or some pastries to brighten a drizzly morning! We won’t be at the farmers market this weekend, but the shelves and pastry cases at the Magpies’ Nest are fully stocked! Sourdough, focaccia, crackers, lemon cream croissants, Oreo chocolate chip cookies…we’ve got all your favorites!

Good morning! We’re not at the farmers market this morning, but that just means we’ll have all of our goodies at The Magpies' Nest today! We’re stocking the shelves full of breads (including pumpernickel!), focaccia, pastries, cookies, and lemon bars. We’re even debuting a few new products - come try our sourdough crackers and our salted brown butter rice crispy treats!

The Magpies’ Nest is at 2170 N 13th St and is open today from 10 to 8!

Ready to make your dream of working in a bakery a reality? Five Cardinals Bakery is hiring! We’re looking for a part-time bakery assistant. Job duties will include the entire range of bakery work - from mixing to baking to clean-up. We’re anticipating needing someone about 12-15 hours per week, but that could increase if we keep growing like we have been! If you’re interested, please send us a direct message or email us at [email protected].

Exciting news! We are now offering select Five Cardinals Bakery goods in the Farm Store every Wednesday, while supplies last. The pizza focaccia is especially popular and the early bird gets the worm on Wednesdays! We've had things like bear claws, pain au chocolat, different focaccias, rye and sourdough breads to offer. Stop in today! You never know what local goodies you will find 😉
