Main Grain Bakery is truly a mission of successful entrepreneurs who are passionate about what they do and they do it so well, we get to benefit from all their hard work and years of toil. Such is the case of Sarah Jo, who came to Steven's Point for college and then loved the town so much she stayed and became a pretty darn good baker. I am certainly appreciative of that because her bakery was one of the highlights of our stay in Steven's Point. We knew of the bakery from it being highlighted on Wisconsin Foodie but what we didn't know and couldn't predict is instead of going there to pick up a loaf of artisan bread, which they were out of by the time we got there (early bird gets the bread folks and we weren't early...) but Main Grain has another part to it that offers sandwiches, soups, salads and delectable pastries and cookies to fill the void that once was a whole loaf of bread... it was a very effective and palatable trip! The Caldoverde soup, which was Portuguese sausage, white bean and potato soup was out of this world! We got the last cup so you know it was good! The Cuban on the baguette was crispy with a soft interior and melted cheese! I also enjoyed the turkey sandwich on the sourdough and don't even get me started on the pistachio, chocolate chip cookies.... mmmmm, mmmmm... Next time, I will be getting up "early" to get that loaf of bread, but I'm staying for the soup and...
Read moreSimple, yet sophisticated; The Main Grain Bakery Eatery is an unmatched luncheon experience in the Stevens Point area. Beautiful light envelopes their warm, neutral space allowing for their colorful creations to take center stage as true artistry on the plates of hungry patrons. If you're as lucky as we were on our first visit in, you'll be greeted by an upbeat staff and their smiley, hardworking owners, along with the smells of freshly baked homemade breads and sweet desserts. There's a hum here. A happiness. I ordered the "Clever Girl" sandwich. Described on the menu as, "...a daily driver, a sweetheart with good humor, like someone you always want to hug. It is a nod to all of the reasonable human beings working to better this world." Akin to my personality (haha), it was fun to order and I was excited to try sweet pickles and sweet corn spread -- Two elements outside of my comfort zone. While they didn't have ranch (womp womp) to dip my chips in (because I'm fancy) the sandwich, served on homemade Asiago Thyme bread (the "good" bread as our family calls it) more than made up for it. And truthfully, I didn't need it. To pair with the delightful dishes, The Eatery also offers tasty beverages. From water, to local favorites like Siren Shrubs, wine, and beer -- There's something for everyone. Perfect for a small business meeting or an outing with friends -- The Eatery at MGB has it all....
Read moreFirst called to place an order over the phone since we were driving a little over an half hour but was told no. So we ordered online and it says if you want to add anything or do something to the order to call but you can't take orders over the phone. Did the drive and wasn't told that the bakery items aren't in the same bag and you have to go on the other side of the place to pick it up. So we never received our bakery items and it was the first time ever going that is why I called to try to order over the phone. She seemed annoyed with talking and when I called I said no one said to go to the other side to get the bakery how would anyone know that in a order online it doesn't say it anywhere. How would anyone know what to do or what to ask if it's the first time ordering and not being able to order...
