+ WHERE IS YOUR LOCATION/STOREFRONT/SPACE?

Our bakery is located at 717 1st Street in Snohomish; we are kiddy corner from Looking Glass Coffee, the Carnegie, and on the same block as Unknown Tattoo and Spada Farmhouse Brewery, on the corner of First Street and Cedar Avenue. Grain is present at farmers markets all summer long as well as the year-round Capitol Hill Farmers Market, and when it’s not COVID, vends at specialty festivals and markets, caters 2-3 weddings a weekend, and does pop up shops and pairing events throughout the year. Any markets or events are posted on Facebook under the Events tab of the business page.

+ IS GRAIN GLUTEN-FREE CERTIFIED?

There is currently NO gluten in our kitchen. We are not currently a gluten-free licensed kitchen, but we are in the process of becoming certified. Until we are certified, we will continue to say that consuming our gluten-free products comes at your own risk. We do successfully serve many Celiac clients, especially since we have switched to being a fully (uncertified) gluten-free kitchen, however, in the end, it is up to you as the consumer. Please feel free to ask us if you have any questions on protocols or ingredient lists. You may also email the owner and pastry, Lauren, directly at: lauren@grainartisanbakery.com.

+ HOW CAN I SEE YOUR MENU FOR THE DAY?

We feature a rotating menu of pastries and cakes based on seasonally available produce. We post daily videos on our social media stories (facebook and instagram) where you can see what we have on offer for the day. We aim to post these by 9 am at the latest.

If you do not have social media or have any questions about our daily offerings, you are always welcome to give us a call Please know that our team does its best to answer the phone at all times, but when we are exceptionally busy we might not always be able to pick up. We always try to call missed calls back or listen to messages and pass on the contents to the correct employee to handle each case.

+ WHEN DO YOU HAVE CINNAMON ROLLS?

We typically make cinnamon rolls on the weekends, depending on how busy we are with custom orders and weddings, we may or may not be able to make them. We strive to make them every Saturday at least, but cannot guarantee that we always do. Feel free to give us a call on weekend mornings to check if we are making them that day. Please know that our team does its best to answer the phone at all times, but when we are exceptionally busy we might not always be able to pick up.

+ CAN I RESERVE PASTRIES?

Yes! If your order is more than a couple of days away or is for more than just a few items, we recommend placing your order through our ordering system. If you see something in our stories that you would like to reserve a small-medium amount of, you are always welcome to give us a call, and depending on the stock we will do our best to reserve your selection and have you pay over the phone. Please know that our team does its best to answer the phone at all times, but when we are exceptionally busy we might not always be able to pick up.

+ DO YOU HAVE WHOLE CAKES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE EVERY DAY?

Unfortunately, we do not. Occasionally we will have canceled orders or special pre-made cakes or cupcake packs for holidays or special events, but the only way to ensure you will get a whole cake is by placing an order in advance. You are always welcome to give us a call to see if we have any available whole cakes on hand. Unfortunately, we cannot sell whole cakes from our cake bar that are intended for slicing throughout the day. Depending on how busy the day is we limit customers to about 8 slices from our cake bar.

+ CAN I PLACE AN ORDER FOR A WHOLE CAKE?

Yes! We happily accommodate as many custom-order cakes as we can.

+ HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I PLACE MY ORDER?

We typically ask for a two-week minimum booking window for non-wedding orders. If an order is accepted within this window (or one month for weddings), there may be a 20% rush fee. Keep in mind that during peak summer season and holidays, we do book up 1-3 months in advance for small orders. We book weddings 6-18 months in advance.

+ SO HOW DO I PLACE AN ORDER OR INQUIRE ABOUT AN ORDER?

Easy! Go to our “Order” tab on the navigation bar at the top of the website, and choose the button that is correct for you - likely the custom order button, which is to be used for most orders except weddings. Fill out that inquiry form, then you will get an auto-respond email confirming we got your submission, and we will follow up with some questions and tasting options. You may reply to either of these emails to continue the conversation.

+ what is your gluten-free flour??

We use multiple different flours and flour blends (all of them are gluten-free) in our different products, however, our main flour is Manini’s Multi-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Blend. Milled out of Kent, Washington, this local flour mix is made up of ancient grains and helps create the lovely quality of our baked goods
