Richmond's bakery boom brings two more sweet additions
Ready your sweet tooth and stop counting calories, Richmond has a fresh batch of bakeries. Why it matters: There's no such thing as too many cookies, cakes and bread — for any city. State of play: Jane Dough , a pop-up turned brick and mortar, opened last week on MacArthur in Northside. The shop is from baker Jane Lukas, a culinary school grad who started baking during the pandemic before moving to Richmond, per Style Weekly . Once settled here, Lukas started baking in her converted garage and selling her bread and pastries at Dorey Park Farmers Market and Celladora last year, quickly developing a loyal following. On the menu : Jane Dough's signature sourdough loaves ($10-$12), focaccia ($7-$8.50), croissants ($7.50-$8.50) cookies ($3.50) and rotating pastries. Fun fact: True to Richmond's form, the bakery has been selling out quickly in its opening days, so go early. What they're saying: "We really appreciate the love the community has been showing us," Lukas tells Axios. If you go: Jane Dough is open 7am-2pm, Thursday through Sunday at 4029 MacArthur Ave. More of those gorgeous Jane Dough loaves.
