Our Story

Baking with patience, serving with purpose.

Studio 29 was born from a simple belief: that the best bread takes time. Located on East Main Street, we've built our practice around slow fermentation, locally milled grains, and recipes that honor the craft.

Beyond the oven, our grocery shelves hold carefully sourced pantry staples—olive oils, aged cheeses, small-batch preserves—chosen to complement what comes out of our kitchen each morning.

Our Philosophy

We don't rush bread, and we don't rush anything.

In a world of fast food and artificial shortcuts, Studio 29 chooses the harder path. Our dough ferments for 12 hours. Our pastries are laminated by hand. Our ingredients are sourced with intention. The result is food that tastes like it was made by someone who cares.

Slow fermentation

Long, cold proofs develop flavor and digestibility that no shortcut can replicate.

Local & intentional

We partner with regional mills and producers who share our commitment to quality.

Community first

Studio 29 is a gathering place. We bake for our neighbors, and we listen.
