DOVETAIL BAKERY FEATURED IN
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES!
Look at those handsome Vanilla Bean & Apricot Jam Drop Scones! Some of the treats available at Dovetail Bakery. Photo:
Amaren Colosi Muffins, scones, cookies, cheesecakes and wedding cakes made without butter, cream or eggs? Huh? It just so happens that they’re all available at vegan bakeries in our fair city, thanks to a growing number of young, post-health-food-generation bakers committed to culinary creativity and the local-and-organic ethic.
There’s no need to be a card-carrying vegan to enjoy their sweet and savory offerings or to expect an inferior version of the muffins or quiche you find elsewhere. Do expect top-quality coffee. You’ll also likely find at least a small selection of gluten-free items.
Dovetail Bakery’s storefront on Alberta opened in January. Owner Morgan Grundstein-Helvey previously had a wholesale bakery in St. Johns and also sold at the
St. Johns Farmers Market. Dovetail has recently teamed up with
Wealth Underground, an organic CSA farm, as a Community Supported Bakery, supplying bread, pastries, cookie dough and coffee for the CSA’s customers. Dovetail regulars can also buy a weekly share of bread, cookie dough, pizza dough, coffee beans and more.
THE COFFEE:
Courier.
BEST SELLERS: Aunt Miriam’s Sticky Buns, Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies, Salty Sweet Trail Mix Cookies, and Blueberry Muffins.
