The Bakery
A real place where the stories become bread, where strangers share tables, and where the Crossroads comes to life. We're building something that matters—and we want you there when the doors open.
More Than a Bakery
Pathfinder's Crumb started as a story about a baker who believed bread could keep roads open—that small acts of sharing, light, and stubborn kindness could hold a community together when everything else failed.
The bakery is the same idea, made real.
We're creating a place where the philosophy of the Crossroads lives and breathes. Where the bread is made with intention. Where strangers become neighbors over shared tables. Where the stories you've been reading aren't just fiction—they're the foundation.
It's taking time to get right. Good things do.
"Not by raising armies, but by sharing bread, light, and stubborn kindness when it would be easier to walk away."
Main Roads
What to Expect
When the doors finally open, here's what you'll find inside.
Artisan breads made with care, inspired by the recipes from the stories. Including Crumb's Morning Loaf, baked fresh daily.
Not a grab-and-go counter. Shared tables, warm light, and space to sit, read, talk, or simply be present.
A reading corner with copies of the Crossroads books, plus a community library for exchanging favorites.
Hot drinks, seasonal soups, and simple food made to be shared. Nothing fancy-just good.
The same cozy soundscapes from the chapter pages, playing softly. A place that feels like stepping into the story.
Eventually: book clubs, bread-making classes, and gatherings for people who believe in keeping the roads.
From the Stories to the Table
"He understood, finally, that bread was never just bread. It was an invitation. A small door left open. A way of saying: whoever you are, wherever you've walked—there's a place at this table." .
- Book I: The First Pathfinder, Chapter 4
The stories you're reading now are the soul of what the bakery will be. Every recipe, every ritual, every moment of "stubborn Kindness" in the book-we're building a place where that's real.
If you've felt something reading the Crossroads stories, imagine what it will feel like to sit in them.
