Bakehouse and coffee · Wrenfield, TX

Warm bread,early mornings.

We start the ovens before sunrise so the bread is still warm when you walk in. Sourdough, butter pastry, good coffee, and cakes made to order.

Our story

Small oven,big mornings.

Early Loaf is a neighborhood bakehouse on Mercer Street. We mix by hand, ferment slowly, and bake in small batches all morning, so something warm is always coming out of the oven.

We buy flour from mills we trust, keep the menu short, and change the pastry case with the seasons. When it’s gone, it’s gone, and tomorrow we start again.
