Our Story

A Bakery Born From a Little Obsession

The Grumpy Grizzly started with one sourdough starter — a bubbly, temperamental culture that demanded attention every single day. What began as a late-night experiment became an early-morning ritual, and soon the whole neighborhood noticed the smell.

Today, we bake on Broad Street using the same patience and stubbornness that got us here. Every loaf is hand-shaped, every batch is fermented slowly, and every customer is treated like a regular — because that's exactly what you are.

Our grocery section features local cheeses, small-batch preserves, and pantry staples we'd actually use at home. If we wouldn't eat it ourselves, we won't sell it to you.
