They saw our vision, believed in our work, and helped us move forward. Thanks to them, just one month later, our bakery was able to make the upgrades we needed to better serve our customers. Now we’re able to offer a full coffee bar, more fresh-baked goods, quick dessert options, and an experience that reflects everything we’ve been working so hard to create. These upgrades weren’t just about equipment—they were about leveling up what we can offer our community, and that means everything to us. We’re so grateful for the continued support of our customers and community, and we’re deeply thankful to OCEDC for helping make our next chapter possible.
