It's always a good time to visit us!  Weekend mornings can be very crowded, so visit us on Weekdays to avoid the Weekend crowds. 

In general, arrive after 11am to avoid the longest lines.  Afternoons are the quietest time at the Bakeshop.  

Place a pre-order in advance to ensure secure your favorite items!

We aim to have all products available when we open. However we are a small team and we bake everything fresh, so sometimes items (in particular, pastries, cinnamon roles, morning rolls, bagels) come out later depending on the proofing and baking schedule.  

All of our breads, bagels, cinnamon rolls, buns and pastries are sourdough based.  Sourdough products have a life of their own and are sensitive to temperature, humidity and can take longer than expected to proof, especially with changing weather conditions.  While we do our best to manage the process and timing, It's a process we can't rush.  So sometimes products are not available until later in the day.

Please ask our team if you have any questions!

We are not resting :) Our products take several days to produce.  Our sourdough breads ferment over a 3 day period and our pastries have a similar if not longer timeline depending on the product.  For example, sourdoughs offered on Thursday were started on Tuesday.  That long and slow fermentation process is part of what makes Jess Bakeshop products taste so good and easier to digest.

On the days we are not open we are busy producing products for the week, developing new products, restocking supplies, deep cleaning, or taking care of the many administrative items that small businesses face.  

Yes, we offer a small selection of gluten-free products that do not use wheat flours.  Please note that our facility processes gluten products and some cross-contamination is possible.  As such our products are not suitable for persons with a severe gluten allergy.
