Sunday Morning Bakehouse To Open First Location At Pike & Rose

NORTH BETHESDA, MD — Sunday Morning Bakehouse, a star of the Pike & Rose weekend farmer’s market, will open a permanent storefront in the North Bethesda neighborhood.

Sunday Morning Bakehouse is set to open in the summer of 2019. Guests can purchase signature pastries such as: traditional croissants that are handmade with French butter over a three-day process; brioche donuts filled with seasonal homemade jam; and twice baked Elvis croissants filled with roasted peanut filling, fresh bananas and crispy bacon.

Chef and owner Caroline Yi grew up in Montgomery County and attended Wootton High School and the University of Maryland at College Park.

This season she has been selling her goods at the Pike & Rose Farm Market, where she has a very loyal following, a press release says.

“I knew if and when I opened my first business it had to be in my hometown. After visiting Pike & Rose for the first time, I fell in love with it and knew it was the only place I could picture my bakery and café,” Yi said. “We are creating a place where people will gather for a coffee, a croissant or a meal, where they can pick up a freshly baked baguette after work or where they can find respite from their busy day and catch up with an old friend – kind of a home away from home.”

With seating for 30-35, Sunday Morning Bakehouse will also serve eat-in breakfast items such as French style omelettes and herb baked eggs. A variety of sweet and savory toast offerings like homemade jam with sea salt and Catalan-style pan con tomate on crusty sourdough will be offered on the all-day breakfast menu.

In addition to morning pastries and breakfast, Yi plans on offering her favorite sandwiches during lunchtime including a 3-cheese grilled cheese and her mom’s tuna salad with sprouts on brioche.
