Our Neighbors
Their sourdough is unlike anything I've found anywhere in Iowa. The crust, the crumb, the tang — it's clearly made by people who care about the craft. We buy two loaves every week.
We ordered a three-tier wedding cake with specific flavor requests, and they nailed it. Every guest commented on it. The team was professional, responsive, and truly talented.
As a local café owner, consistency matters. Mackenzie Alexander has been our wholesale partner for over two years — their bread arrives perfect every single time.
