Lost Bread Co./Facebook

Since Lost Bread Co. set up shop in a warehouse space in Kensington (1313 North Howard Street), baker Alex Bois has been hinting at a cafe-like retail setup in the production bakery for a while now. Next weekend, they’re opening the space to the public.

The bakery will open starting on Saturday, April 14th at 10 a.m., weekends only.

On Friday evenings, they’ll  serve “fatbreads,” deep-dish focaccia with toppings, plus sides featuring Heritage Farm veggies, pastries, and beverages like ReAnimator coffee from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m.

On Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., they’ll serve their crispy egg pocket sandwich, a runny egg with bacon sandwiched in pancake batter, plus the full pastry and beverage menu all day or until sellout.

The space will also sell Lost Bread’s full slate of retail loaves, buns, soft pretzels, pastries, and pretzel shortbread cookies, plus pantry goodies like emmer gnocchi, roasted seed granola, and freshly milled local flour. Customers can also pick up free sourdough starter, no purchase necessary.
