Something pretty sweet is brewing on 4th Street in Waterloo! ☕️🤎

Another partnership has flourished, and this one is all about community, connection, and really great coffee.

We’re SO excited to see Treehaus Waterloo bringing something special to downtown Waterloo!

A space built around community, good conversation, and a great cup of coffee. And now, you’ll find Bluff & Crumb muffins, cinnamon rolls, and sourdough bread there, too!

There’s something pretty incredible about small businesses coming together to help our downtown communities thrive. And we’re grateful to have a little piece of it.

Waterloo, grab a coffee, grab a crumb, and stay awhile.🤎

WAVERLY, WE’RE HERE! 🍞🤎

Another Fareway partnership, and another community we are so excited to serve!

You can now find your favorite Bluff & Crumb goodies at Fareway in Waverly!!! 🎉

We’re nestled right alongside all the other amazing bakery items, just steps away from the meat counter. Making it even easier to grab some fresh sourdough and a little something sweet while checking off that grocery list!

Every new partnership is another reminder of why we started this business. Bringing good food to great communities, one loaf at a time.

Waverly, go grab some crumbs! 🥖

Sometimes you have to work a little harder all week so you can step away for a minute. 💙💛

And that’s exactly what we did!

Long days, early mornings, and a whole lot of dough this week meant we could sneak away for a weekend to watch our main man, #87 Will Lynch play football for Augustana! 🏈

As much as I love what I’m building with Bluff & Crumb, I’m learning that stepping away, recharging, and being present for the people I love is just as important as the work itself.

A little family time, a little football, and a full heart heading into another BIG week. We’ve got a new partnership launching Monday, and I couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead!

Rested. Recharged. Ready to get back to the dough. 🍞❤️

Apparently it’s National Cinnamon Roll Day… as if we needed another reason. 😏

Big swirls. Extra frosting. Zero regrets.

Happy National Cinnamon Roll Day from Bluff & Crumb. 🤎
Go ahead. Eat the whole thing.

Meet the savory one. 🧀🌿

Asiago + Black Pepper Sourdough is hitting the Farmers Market this weekend — loaded with Asiago cheese, cracked black pepper, and that crusty Bluff & Crumb sourdough goodness.

And she’s coming alongside our other newbie, **Maple Pecan**, plus all your Bluff & Crumb favorites.

Sweet. Savory. Classic. Pick your fighter. 😏

See you at the market Saturday — come early because I have a feeling these new flavors aren’t going to hang around long.

Every loaf. Every crumb. Every time. 🤎

🍁 NEW FLAVOR: MAPLE PECAN
A little sweet. A little nutty. A whole lot of Iowa.
Our newest sourdough is Maple Pecan—loaded with pecans and made with Great River Maple’s Iowa-made bourbon barrel aged maple syrup. Because when we can put incredible Iowa ingredients into our bread, we’re going to do it.
It’s rich, warm, just sweet enough, and honestly… the smell when this one comes out of the oven. 🤤
Iowa maple. Pecans. Sourdough.

🍁 Maple Pecan is officially joining the Bluff & Crumb lineup.
Now the important question: toasted with butter… or straight out of the bag?

A clean kitchen before another week begins. 🤍

I spend most of my days in this space. Mixing. Shaping. Baking. Packaging. Cleaning it all up…just to do it all over again.

And somehow, it never gets old.

There’s something pretty incredible about realizing you’ve found your place in this world. That the thing you’re building—the long days, the early mornings, the flour everywhere—is exactly where you’re supposed to be.

I love this kitchen. I love what comes out of it. And more than anything, I love where Bluff & Crumb is headed.

Clean counters tonight.

Tomorrow, we make a mess again.

And this next week? I’m ready for it. 🤎

Your English muffin wants the fork. 🍴

There’s actually a reason you shouldn’t slice an English muffin straight through with a knife.

Use a fork to gently pierce around the outside, then pull it apart. That keeps all those beautiful little nooks, crannies and pockets intact — aka the places where the butter gets to go. 🤌

Toast it. Butter it. Let those crispy edges do their thing.

It’s a tiny detail, but it makes a BIG difference.

Consider this your Bluff & Crumb English muffin PSA. 🤎

“Cooking is chemistry. And chemistry is life. Your ability to change everything — including yourself — starts here.”

I heard this today while watching Lessons in Chemistry and immediately thought… yep.

Because lately, I’ve been playing. Testing. Creating. Making focaccia just because I want to see what I can do with it.

But maybe that’s what this whole Bluff & Crumb journey has been.

A little more of this. A little less of that. Try something. Fail at something. Try it differently. Add a new partner. Say yes to an opportunity. Dream a little bigger than I did yesterday.

And somehow, somewhere in the middle of flour, water, salt and a whole lot of experimenting—you realize you’re changing right along with it.

I don’t know exactly what Bluff & Crumb will look like a year from now.

But I know I’m having a hell of a lot of fun finding out. 🤎

Here’s to a little chemistry.
And a whole lot of growth.
