hello everybody! what a whirlwind of a week and a half it's been! we are open and it's AMAZING!!!
still lots more to do, but it already feels like home inside the bakery. lots of friends swinging by, chatting with neighbors, checking out cute dogs, baking LOTS of CINNAMON BUNS! the usual. i wanted to take a moment to share this lovely article about the shop written by jen from underthetablewithjen.com . she surprised us and came by on OPENING DAY, introduced herself, bought a few pastries. and then a few hours later her friends came by and did the same! thanks so much! it was so great to meet you all!
If you don't make it all the way down to the bottom of the page i want to share this with you...
"One thing that always strikes me about Dovetail’s goods is how beautiful they are. I spend a goodly amount of my life with my nose pressed up against bakery cases, and I’ve gotten choosing my pastries down to an art. It hardly takes me but 10 seconds to know exactly what I want. But Dovetail’s case, even sparingly stocked as it is compared to some, stopped me in my tracks. Everything looked like something I needed." -underthetablewithjen.com
I feel like a proud parent! Thanks so much again! We all love baking for you all! Can't wait to share even more new baked goods & food in the very VERY near future! See you soon!
Dovetail Bakery Open, Pastrygirl Not Open (Yet)
Dovetail Bakery opened their first brick ‘n mortar retail bakery this past Friday at the corner of NE 31st and Alberta, offering long-suffering fans a permanent place to enjoy a hot cup of Courier Coffee and some of the finest vegan pastries in town.
The light-filled little bakery has a charmingly homespun feel inside, with polished-’til-they-gleam concrete floors, lots of wood, and walls painted a lovely pale green. Affectionately mismatched furniture and plenty of fresh flowers make the simple space warm and welcoming.
Owner/baker Morgan Grundstein-Helvey was behind the counter, ringing up glistening pecan-topped Aunt Miriam’s sticky buns, gently-domed pear cardamom and blueberry and pumpkin spice muffins, flaky cranberry scones, and roly-poly swirly cinnamon buns.
