Rooted in Evanston, baked with patience.

Marigold Bakehouse was founded on a simple belief: that bread should be nourishing, pastries should be celebratory, and a neighborhood bakery should feel like an extension of your own kitchen.

We avoid commercial yeasts and chemical additives. Instead, we rely on wild sourdough cultures, long fermentation periods, and time-honored techniques that bring out the true, deep flavors of heritage grains.
