Usually we usually have a long list of fun filled activities to share with you, but we just took turns being sick and sleeping. So we are well rested to rock in the New Year!!! We can’t wait to see everyone!

We here at The Chef and The Baker would like to wish everyone the merriest of holidays from our family to yours. We will be closed until Wednesday January 3rd to spend time with families near and far. We would like to thank everyone for their support and love over the last year- it means the world to us. Please enjoy the holidays and be safe, we will see each and every one of you next year!

We aren’t as comfortable in front of the cameras as we are in front of the panini press, but it’s always nice to be able to share our spot with more people.

Thanks, Mr. Edgar Sandoval for stopping by to tell our story. :)

Hey guys, here’s what going on at the c and b this week.

We will be closed on Wednesday, for an off site catering.

We will be closed on Thursday as well. The mini baker has asked us to chaperone her field trip. We say no to these requests a lot, but even now and then you have to say yes or else she might stop asking to hang out with us.

And Friday will be the final day of this current menu. We will post the new menu here soon. And update the website this weekend.

Sorry for any inconvenience this week. Hope to see you guys soon.

The calendar says fall starts in about 2 weeks. So maybe this pumpkin cupcake is a little early, but come enjoy them anyways.

Just a heads up, we will be closed Thursday (9/21) for a fundraiser for our kids’ school.

We will be closed Wednesday (9/27) for an off site catering gig.

And the plan is to flip the menu the first week of October, so come on in and enjoy the last couple weeks of this menu.

Hey P-Town!!!! So normally our Thursday feature is a French dip sandwich, but we decided we were going to fool around a lil bit!😉 Sooo the result was this glorious creation💥💥
So until menu change we will be serving this as our Thursday feature:
Braised beef sandwich accompanied by havarti cheese and house made pickled peppers served on our CnB hoagie buns with a side of chips.
We will update the website and menus today. Thanks for all the love and support!!!💕

Well, The Hostess with the mostess is back!!! We are officially off vacation and open! Can’t wait to see y’all, come on by and say hi!
