Yes you read that title correctly! Bliss Bakery owner Krista Koets and I are teaming up to bring you incredible baked goods and drinks. We hit it off at a Not So Shabby Marketplace event in 2021 and have grown in friendship ever since. Tea and baked goods just go together!
Bliss Bakery is a unique bakery in that is serves those who are gluten free, sugar free, those following a keto or paleo diet with their favorite sweet treats and bread products. Having allergies or diet restrictions can be hard to navigate in todays food culture but places like Bliss offer an opportunity to enjoy the sweets we once were able to.
In June of 2022 I was diagnosed with allergies that removed nearly all bread products from my diet. Bagels, sandwiches, scones, muffins and more were no longer a food option for me. This makes grabbing something on the go or making food at home a challenge. Knowing that I can stop at Bliss Bakery for something and with confidence know that I won't have stomach issues afterwards has been a huge blessing! Only trouble was they were in Hamilton, MI about 30 minutes away, but not anymore!
Krista shared with my in January this year that she had taken a bid leap to lease a place on River Ave in Holland, MI. I was over the moon excited about this because it meant my favorite sweets or breads would soon be close by and easily accessible.
At this time Krista was already carrying my tea in her bakery in Hamilton. We got talking one day on her ideas for the new location. It soon became clear that together we could take her drink menu to another level to match the excellence of her baked goods.
