With the scent of fresh pastries wafting in the air, it’s clear that Bent Spoons Bakery is back and better than ever. After its recent grand reopening ceremony joined by Richland Area Chamber & Economic Development, this charming bakery, situated at 18 Mill Road in Bellville, has quickly resumed delighting the community with its array of mouthwatering pastries and delightful cakes.
Owner and baker, Sadie Ehrmantraut, has always found comfort in serving others through her baking. In her words. According to the bakery’s website, the journey of Bent Spoons Bakery, from an in-home operation to the newly reopened shop, has been marked by resilience and the desire to bring a little joy into people’s day.
Drawing on family traditions and memories, the bakery offers unique creations that carry a hint of nostalgia. The name ‘Bent Spoons’ emerged from a family discussion, symbolizing their collective resilience during challenging times.
The reopening of Bent Spoons Bakery has brought along an exciting addition: a new Bubble Tea and Coffee Bar. Thanks to a partnership with Alien Roasting Company, the bakery now offers a diverse range of beverages— hot, iced, cold brew, or dressed up—you name it. The bubble tea options include Milk Tea, Taro, and Green Tea with your choice of traditional tapioca or popping boba. One of the standouts from the menu is “The Peggy Ann”, a delightful blend of Taro Tea, Raspberry, and Boba, named after Sadie’s mom, who loved the color purple.
Graduating from Le Cordon Blue with a focus on French pastry and viennoiserie, Sadie has skillfully blended local fare with a touch of European flair. The result? Bright flavors, traditional recipes, and a dash of whimsy to keep things fun.
Along with these additions, Bent Spoons Bakery has also introduced a grab-and-go cooler filled with whole cakes and prepackaged goodies for those in need of quick and delicious treats. Whether you want a slice of cake or freshly baked focaccia bread, Bent Spoons offers a little bit of something for everyone.
Operating hours for Bent Spoons Bakery are from 10:00 am to 06:00 pm from Wednesday to Friday, and from 10:00 am to 02:00 pm on Saturday8. Whether you’re a long-time fan or a first-time visitor, make sure to stop by and treat yourself to their delicious offerings and warm hospitality.
