The Bakehouse

An annex business to Twelvemonth Lounge and Bar, the vegan eatery expands with a bakery storefront, new street trees and pedestrian scaled lighting enlivening a previously blank urban block. Across the street form regional transit, the bakery is a popular stop for coffee and scones. The back of house is only partially concealed with custom product displays putting the baking activity on stage. A locally created mural and a wood barrel arched ceiling creates a cozy atmosphere for meeting up with neighbors.
