This sourdough bread is absolutely phenomenal! I had the pleasure of eating the jalapeño cheddar and the original sourdough and both were so very delicious and baked to perfection!

Incredibly soft and flavorful sourdough bread! Highly recommend the jalapeno cheddar loaf. She even includes instructions on how to best store the items which is so thoughtful.

I have ordered 6 different items from Blue Jay’s Bellies: Cheddar Jalapeño Sourdough Classic Sourdough Soft Sandwich Bread Seeded Bread Garlic Thyme Butter Cinnamon Roll Focaccia And they have all been fantastic. You can tell how much care goes into the making of these products. My kids love them too! Plus, the owner, Michelle, always has a smile and kind word. I absolutely recommend Blue Jay’s Bellies to everyone and will continue to do so!

Listen... The regular sourdough bread is amazing but the cheddar jalapeno will absolutely blow your mind. It captures the absolute essence of the flavor a jalapeno you just picked from your garden with the exact right about of cheddar to amp it up. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.

The owner of Blue Jay’s is so sweet! I did a custom order and it turned out amazing! I didn’t know exactly what I wanted so she gave me a menu of ideas. I ended up asking her if a jalapeño cheddar sourdough focaccia was possible and she made it happen like magic! It was super easy to pick up and the bread was divine!!! I highly recommend her bread to anyone that is interested in some amazing home made bread!

Super amazing sourdough! I get the focaccia! It love the bounce and salt it has in it! Met at an event at parkway brewing and ordered a follow up bread order recently! So nice and easy! Feels good to support a local business!

I ordered the pesto parmesan and it did not disappoint it tastes like a sourdough pizza! The bread is stays moist and springy and days after so it feels just as fresh as the day that it was baked! The loafs are so large that you can snack on it at least for a whole week for one person! Perfect for making sandwiches or just having with a big glob of butter!
