Our story
For years, 222 Artisan Bakery lived on Main Street. When the doors closed, the conversations didn’t. People asked about the bread at the farmer’s market, at the post office, in the line at the coffee shop down the road.
So we came back. A few blocks over, on St. Louis Street, the city kept our number. The starter is back in its jar. Sundays still smell like sourdough. Trevor still reads your email.
Boulangerie · Pâtisserie · Viennoiserie
On the bread board, in the pastry case, and on the croissant rack. Every morning we work all three.
Rye, sourdough, brioche, multigrain. And like a true boulangerie, we have baguettes and more. Made fresh. We’ll slice it for you here.
On certain days we make macarons. The pastry case rotates with fruit tarts, Danish, and the seasonal specials. Custom orders when time allows.
Not just a French bakery. We layer the dough for croissants, brioche, and the cinnamon rolls regulars order before we even open.
The cafe
The beans come from down the road. Trevor roasts them at Plaid Coffee, his small roastery a few minutes away, and walks them over fresh. The pour is unhurried. The cup gets the time it needs.
Stay for the chai. People come back for it.
The baker
222 Artisan Bakery is a family-run bakery, owned by Trevor Taynor and his mother, Kim Goodner. Trevor trained at the San Francisco Baking Institute and roasts the shop's coffee himself at Plaid a few minutes away, so the bread and the coffee are made by the same family.
