No. 02 — Our story

A warm room at the foot of Wharf Street

Sisters Maren and Elise Holt opened Harbor & Hearth in 2019, in the old ship chandlery by the water. The idea was simple: bake the bread they grew up on, pour coffee worth sitting with, and give the neighborhood a warm room to gather in.

“We bake for the people who live here first.”

Every loaf is naturally leavened for 36 hours. Our flour is stone-milled in Michigan, and our beans are roasted two blocks away at Lantern Coffee Co.

The morning bun alone is worth the drive. We come every Saturday now, and they know our order before we reach the counter.

Dana R. · Saturday regular

It feels like the whole neighborhood's living room: warm, unhurried, and the sourdough is unreal.
