Cindy Day, the current Executive Chef and Baker and only the third owner, continues the tradition of baking everything from scratch using original recipes and vintage equipment — many of the same ovens and mixers that have been in use since the 1920s. The bakery was rebuilt after a fire in the 1920s and remained in the Baggenstoss family until 2003. Cindy purchased the closed bakery in 2005 and, with her family, lovingly reopened it 18 months later, restoring it to its former glory while preserving its original spirit.
