Not quite six years ago, we were faced with a terrible balancing act: keeping a small business we're very proud of running while also keeping our employees safe. The threat has evolved; the impulse has not. We have employees working several jobs who will suffer if they lose a day's wages if we close in support of the general strike.

"You should pay them to stay home." I agree, and we would if we were a large business with high margins. But we don't take the name Village Bakery lightly. YOU are all our village. Our prices haven't risen as fast as costs have risen because you deserve your village. I stand by that decision but it means that every day the bakery must pay for itself.

After several sleepless nights, we have decided to support the general strike by making a 100% donation of all sales of these cookies to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center () who provide free legal services to Southern California immigrants. If you are honoring the general strike today, we support you and we'll see you soon.

For a limited time only, 1 liter cans of Nuova Vecchia--our Extra Virgin Olive Oil straight from our farm in Umbria, Italy--is available for local home delivery through DoorDash, UberEats and GrubHub apps!

Straight from our olive grove in Umbria, Italy (yes, we have an olive grove in Umbria, Italy!) our incredible, organic, extra virgin olive oil has arrived (no easy feat given the ridiculous tariff situation going on right now)!
From our over 100 year old trees, this is single origin oil, cold pressed from olives harvested by hand just a couple of months ago (October 20th, to be exact!). It doesn't get fresher, healthier or more delicious than this. The oil has a distinct, grassy, peppery taste full of polyphenols (that's the healthy stuff!) and is perfect for daily use.
Available in full or half liter cans with a beautiful special label (thanks to our pal Shepard Fairey!) this oil is an asset to every kitchen.
Supplies are limited so stop in soon and pick up a can for yourself and maybe one for a friend!

Well hello there!!! It's been a minute (lots of them!) since I last posted here on FB (as you may have noticed!) My reason for jumping back on here today is twofold:

First, I want to see if this is still a viable spot to connect with our neighborhood. Are you still checking in with Facebook? Would you like updates from us here? We DO post regularly on Instagram and recently joined TikTok (late to THAT party, but hey...better late than never!!) so I do hope you've been checking in with us there. If you're out there and you'd like to see updates on this format, let me know!!!

Second, I want you all to know that this weekend The Village Bakery and Cafe will be celebrating our Sweet 16th Birthday!! Unbelievable, but true! We've been part of this neighborhood for 16 years now! Please stop in this Saturday or Sunday (or both!)--we're going to be sharing birthday cake with all of you and would love to see your faces!
