Colette Bread and Bakeshop comes to Poncey-Highland

Details: The bread menu is continuously evolving, and current options include pain au levain, pain de mie, brioche, and focaccia — sometimes cheddar herb loaves and olive rosemary.

• Pastry items include cinnamon rolls, brioche tarts, galettes and more.

In the weeds: Named after the iconic French novelist Sidonie Gabrielle-Colette, the bakery works primarily on wholesale orders to local shops and restaurants.

• "By the time retail customers walk through the door, we've already sold 50 loaves to wholesale customers depending on the day," Dodge told Axios.

Catch up quick: Dodge, who's worked with H&F Bread, Little Tart and 8Arm, took up baking after graduating from college to relieve stress.

• "Baking requires focus, attention to detail, and consistency and is an activity that allows me to shut the rest of the world out in a way, a meditation of sorts."

Details: Located along Highland Row, the bakery's retail operation opens Thursday and Friday 8am-1pm and Saturday 9am-1pm.

What's next: Classes on how to bake sourdough and sharpen knife skills are on the way.

• She also wants to keep the doors open on some evenings so people could stop by for bread, veggies, and soup and then pick up wine or non-alcoholic drinks at nearby Elemental or Zero Co.
