About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver pulled up to The Sourdough Eatery with a truckload of fresh bread. As he unloaded loaves onto the counter, he noticed something peculiar—each bagel had an extra hole, as if someone had been experimenting with dough. Curious, the owner decided to investigate and found that a neighborhood kid had been helping himself to some dough for his science project on yeast fermentation. Turns out, the little experimenter loved their sourdough bagels so much they couldn’t resist adding an extra hole or two. Everyone laughed it off, and now the bakery’s slogan is ‘Fresh Bread, Extra Holes—Just Ask Our Neighborhood Scientist!’
2. At midnight, a neighbor passing by noticed an eerie whirring sound coming from The Sourdough Eatery's basement. Curious, they peered through the window and saw nothing but a small old mixer churning away in the dark. Just as they turned around, a warm voice called out from inside: 'Would you like some freshly baked sourdough bread?' Turned out it was just the night baker, working his late shift with a friendly smile.
3. At breakfast hour, a regular arrived early and noticed something unusual on the bakery’s chalkboard: ‘Today’s sourdough is proofed by our most loyal customer.’ Curious, he asked the baker who it was. The baker smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'It’s our secret.' Later that day, a delivery driver overheard an excited neighbor saying, “Finally, my sourdough today tastes like me!” And everyone laughed, realizing the joke was on them all along.
4. At lunchtime, a delivery driver pulled up to The Sourdough Eatery and heard an announcement over the speakers: ‘Attention please—we’ve run out of sourdough bread, but if you bring us a loaf, we’ll give you two free pastries!’ So the delivery driver thought for a moment, then walked into the nearby grocery store and bought a whole loaf of sourdough bread. When he returned, the manager beamed and handed him not just two, but four pastries—’We’re celebrating your creativity!’ Later that week, the same driver brought in another loaf, only to discover his reward was now six pastries. Turned out, someone had accidentally programmed the announcement to multiply rewards exponentially.
