After being at the bakery for 17 hours today, I am calling it quits until 2-3ish tomorrow morning…wait that’s just 6-7 hours away from now 🫣😴
This morning was the first day I had a line at the door when I opened!!! I was so excited!! The first person told me she arrived at 6:30!! I LOVE that!! The early bird does indeed get the worm (or in this case, first dibs of the tasty treats!!)
I know it’s disappointing to hear I sold out before you arrived but I am quite literally putting in as many hours as I can while I get staff trained in. Learning the art of lamination and sourdough takes time! Everyday this week I have been there 10-17 hours. In addition to that not only have my workers (some pulling 9 hour days) been there, my family has been too (some after their full time jobs!) Oliver was on dishes duty this morning before school, I even had my niece and nephew helping out this week (basically I’m getting out of having to do most of the dishes 😂) When I left tonight, there were still 4 people working. We really are preparing as much as we can right now, I promise!!
Tomorrow is the grand opening party!!! The doors open at 8AM, not a minute sooner!! One thing to note; we will be using the back door as an entrance door and the front door as an exit (backwards I know but we don’t want a line to have to form on the road construction area) There is a public parking lot across from the bakery and parking behind. No there will NOT be donuts or gluten free (well there are monster cookies which are technically gluten free but they are surrounded by flour so they have 100% been cross contaminated)
I am SO excited for tomorrow!! I hope to see so many of you!!! There will be sourdough bread & bagels, granola, cookies, danishes, croissants, pain au chocolates and more!!! Grab your baked goods and a coffee, orange juice or milk and have some great conversations and a fun time!!!
