Teri Hamilton, owner of The Hamilton’s Artisan Bakery, is putting her own business on pause and will be using her baking talents at Common Ground Coffee Co.12 E. Wall as of Monday, February 3.

 

In recent years, Hamilton’s husband has been able to help her with her home business, but because of a new job, he won’t.

“This makes it unsustainable for me physically,” Hamilton said. “The bakery business needs to grow in employees and space…and we are not ready to take that step.”

Starting on February 3 she will be at the coffee shop on Mondays through Fridays, from 8 a.m. to noon,  baking for them.

“I’ll be making cookies and pastry-type things and possibly adding a few things of my own but will be keeping that baked good case full,” she said. “Taking this part-time job will keep me baking for the community.”

She started her artisan bakery three years ago, and feels the job will allow her to “see people, interact with them and see them enjoy the things I make for them.”

“I’m excited to  join the Common Ground team, I look forward to serving people good food.”

Suzanne Griffin will continue her weekly dinners at the coffee shop and offer catering services.

Together they will produce some fun offerings for Super Bowl parties and Valentine’s Day.

Griffin said they will be offering appetizer trays and dip assortments for Super Bowl parties and for Valentine’s Day-chocolate dipped strawberries and Chardudery Trays for men.

“We call it Chardudery Trays because it has bacon, beef and no frilly stuff,” Griffin said.
