Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference.
Rooted to the first store in West Dundee, IL, established in 1835, Elder + Oat nods to the now with a modern take on bakery creations and a bow to the past with an artisanal approach to coffee and bread. A true resurrection of bygone hospitality and neighborly relations, the location serves as the core of the community where conversation and curiosity are encouraged.
quality without compromise
Here at Elder + Oat, we focus on using only the highest quality ingredients and methods, from the 100% organic, artisanal, locally sourced flour we use in our baked goods to our 24-hour naturally leavened sourdough process. We work with local vendors to bring you the freshest ingredients possible and never compromise on quality. Our focaccia is made without artificial yeast, using a sourdough base from our house sourdough starter, “Gemini.” We take pride in and put careful thought behind each baked good we produce, and we hope you can taste the love in each and every bite.
