Company description

Mel is a small bakery focused on serving its neighborhood and community first. Offering a variety of hearth sourdough breads and pastry, Mel thoughtfully sources our grain from organic local and regional farms. All bread and pastry is handmade with respect and appreciation for the timeless craft. We offer a rotating selection of naturally leavened sourdough bread, pastry, coffee, and light fare.

From wheat-berry to loaf, fresh grain is not only more nutritious, but can also positively impact our greater agricultural economy. All of our rye, einkorn, Hard red whole wheat, buckwheat, barley, and sorghum flour are milled fresh in house to enhance fermentation and flavor in our dough. At Mel we know that good grain makes great bread and pastry, and this knowledge is fundamental to all of our practices.
