Buttercup Cottage Bakery is a small-batch sourdough bakery dedicated to producing breads, bagels, and baked goods with care, consistency, and intention.

What began as a love for traditional sourdough and thoughtful baking has grown into a bakery focused on reliable offerings, quality ingredients, and a process rooted in time and technique. Each product is made from scratch using long fermentation methods that prioritize flavor, texture, and structure.

At Buttercup Cottage Bakery, small-batch doesn’t mean inconsistent — it means intentional. Our core menu is designed to be dependable while still allowing room for creativity through select rotating offerings. From artisan sourdough loaves to NY-style sourdough bagels and baked goods, everything we make reflects a commitment to craft and quality.

About Buttercup Cottage Bakery

Our Approach

We believe good baking starts with patience and purpose. Our process focuses on:

  • Naturally leavened sourdough fermentation

  • Thoughtfully developed recipes

  • Consistent production standards

  • Freshly baked goods prepared with care

This approach allows us to serve our community with products that feel both familiar and elevated.

Our Bakery

Buttercup Cottage Bakery began as a licensed cottage bakery and has continued to grow alongside the community that supports it. As the bakery has expanded, so has our ability to produce more while maintaining the same small-batch approach that defines our work.

Today, Buttercup Cottage Bakery operates in a commercial kitchen, allowing us to scale production, collaborate with local businesses, and continue offering the same handcrafted breads and baked goods our customers have come to expect.

While our kitchen may have changed, our commitment to slow fermentation, quality ingredients, and intentional baking remains the same.

Looking Ahead

Buttercup Cottage Bakery continues to grow with the support of the community that made it possible. As we expand into a commercial kitchen and new pickup locations, our goal remains the same — to provide thoughtfully crafted sourdough breads and baked goods made with care, patience, and intention!

Whether you’re picking up your weekly sourdough loaf, trying a new bagel flavor, or discovering the bakery for the first time, we’re grateful to be part of your table!

Thank you for supporting small-batch baking in St. Joseph!
