Nestled in the heart of Monroe Street since 2017, Bloom Bake Shop is a neighborhood favorite that provides the community with fresh baked sourdough, unique viennoiserie, elegant cakes, and sweet treats. Co-owned by Annemarie Maitri and Mark Pavlovich, the bakery also offers an array of sandwiches and many delicious vegan and gluten-free options.
Bloom joined the Monroe Street Farmer’s Market during the market’s second year; in fact, Annemarie was one of the first members on its board. Everything Bloom makes is baked from scratch with deep care for ingredient sourcing. Many of their ingredients come from local farmers and producers, some of whom are fellow vendors at the market!
As Annemarie said in a Madison Magazine column a few years ago, “I have always believed the purpose of Bloom was more than satiating a sweet craving and more than making transactions. Opening Bloom in 2010 was a direct manifestation of all that I love. It goes without saying that I love baking. Bloom grew from a strong desire for connection, a fierce responsibility to my community and a curiosity to grow as an individual. One piece could not exist without the other.”
You can find Bloom at the market this weekend and at their two locations on Monroe Street and North Street. Check out their Facebook for a sneak peek at market treats!
