Prairie Creek, Illinois

Fresh bread, warm pastries, and good coffee on Elm Street

We're a family bakery on Elm Street, up before dawn kneading dough and pulling golden loaves from the oven. Stop in for a flaky morning pastry, grab a coffee for the walk to work, or let us bake the cake that makes your celebration unforgettable.

Our Kitchen

Baked from scratch, the old-fashioned way

Every morning starts in the dark. We mix, proof, and shape by hand, so the first loaves are cooling on the racks before the sun clears the rooftops on Elm Street.

We use real butter, unbleached flour, and slow-risen doughs — no shortcuts, no mixes. It's the way our family has always baked, and we think you can taste the difference in every bite.

Menu Highlights

What's coming out of the oven

A little of everything, fresh every single day. Here's what folks come back for.

From-Scratch Breads

Crusty sourdough, soft sandwich loaves, and hearty seeded ryes — baked fresh each morning while the coffee brews.

Daily Pastries

Buttery croissants, cinnamon rolls, fruit danishes, and turnovers, all made by hand and best enjoyed still warm.

Custom Cakes

Birthday cakes, wedding tiers, and everything in between — designed and decorated to make your day sweeter.
