Handmade treats from John's Cottage Kitchen

Welcome to our Minnesota cottage bakery. We bake small-batch breads, pastries, and sweet goods fresh from our kitchen to your table.

What I bake

Everything at John's Cottage Kitchen is made with care, high-quality ingredients, and classic home-style recipes under Minnesota Cottage Food guidelines.

Artisan breads

Crispy crusts and tender crumb. Enjoy naturally leavened sourdough, sandwich loaves, and seasonal herb breads baked to perfection.

Cookies and bars

From gooey chocolate chip cookies to rich buttery brownies and seasonal dessert bars, every bite tastes like home.

"The sourdough loaf was exceptional, and the cookies were gone within an hour of picking them up. John's Cottage Kitchen is our family's favorite weekend tradition."

Sarah M., local customer

Baked with love in Minnesota

I believe that real food comes from simple, honest ingredients. As an independent cottage kitchen, I take pride in baking every order individually with patience and passion.

Frequently asked questions

Got questions about how cottage food operations work, ordering deadlines, or pickups? Find answers to our most common customer inquiries below.

What is a cottage food producer?

In Minnesota, registered cottage food producers are authorized to bake and prepare select shelf-stable goods directly from their home kitchens for direct sale to local consumers.

How do I place an order?

Browse my menu and reach out via our ordering page, or email to check current availability and place your order ahead of time.

When should I place my order?

Because every item is made in small batches, I recommend ordering at least 48 to 72 hours in advance of your preferred pickup date.

Where do I pick up my baked goods?

Local pickups are coordinated at my home kitchen location in Minnesota. Full pickup address and instructions are provided upon order confirmation.

Do you offer shipping or delivery?

In compliance with Minnesota cottage food laws, our products are available for direct local handoff and scheduled pickup only.

Can you accommodate allergen requests?

Our items are made in a domestic home kitchen that processes common food allergens such as wheat, nuts, eggs, and dairy. Please contact me with specific ingredient questions.
