The Flour Shoppe, a vegan bakery in the Highlands, has closed, according to a recent announcement on social media.
In an Instagram post on Monday, the owners wrote:
Its difficult to express in words the gratitude for all of the love and support during our time in business as the Flour Shoppe. Its been a great lesson and experience and were even more excited for the future.
But dont worrythe treats train is not stopping! We are going back to our roots, they said. The bakery will sell baked goods through The Breeze Wine Bar & Spirits (1247 S. Shelby St.) and will accept orders for custom cakes through Sugar High, co-owner Ashley Benders business. (Co-owner Erin Tachis business, Julians Kitchen, is currently on hiatus but will return soon.)
The Flour Shoppe had previously announced a hiatus on in-store service during a “time of restructuring.”
“So sorry to have to do this but its proven too hard to stay open and up to our standard during this transitional time as well as peak wedding season being upon us,” the owners wrote in August.
The bakerys storefront location (619 Baxter Ave.) was previously the home of Morels Cafe, a vegan barbecue joint.
Following the closure of The Flour Shoppe, its next occupant will be Cosmic Bird, a vegan fauxltry restaurant that serves plant-based chickn. Cosmic Bird is currently running a GoFundMe to raise $50,000 for equipment, tables, small wares, etc.
