Amaranth Bakery & Cafe

Like the growers in the local community garden and the Amaranth plant -- which originated in South America and is now considered a super-grain by many -- were largely transplants to the Walnut Hill Neighborhood, we too are transplants recognizing the value of a shared community identity. We have one goal in mind: create a warm, welcoming gathering space where neighborhood folks could congregate to relax, work, and visit with one another. It’s no surprise, then, that we feel such a deep-rooted connection to our community -- even our sourdough starter was born right here in the neighborhood! Along with our locally roasted organic coffees, fine tea assortment, and espresso drinks, we also offer from-scratch, artisan breads, pastries, tarts, cookies, soups, salads, quiche, and a limited sandwich menu. Stop in for a quick pick-me-up, or stay all day -- no matter what, we’ll always be here to welcome you in with a smile and make you feel right at home.
