The Many Variations of Coffee
There are a lot of ways to drink your coffee. If you're like me, the options blend together - I mean, how many different ways can you combine milk, water, and coffee grounds and still have a different drink?
Busy in Bethlehem, PA
Isaac and I recently had the chance to treat ourselves to a lovely getaway in Bethlehem, PA. We stopped in a bunch of shops and restaurants in town, leaving with some exciting purchases and recommendations if you ever find yourself in this part of Pennsylvania. Here's a glimpse into what kept us busy in Bethlehem!
Running the Café as a Mom
Being a mom and owning the café are two of my proudest accomplishments, both equally challenging and rewarding in their own ways.
Let’s Get Real: Setbacks
We got a new panini press for the café! The story behind it, however, is not completely one of excitement, rather problem solving and adaptability.
Brainstorming as a Small Business Owner
Owning a small business allows me to dream big and work every day to reach my goals for the café. There is a constant need to innovate and project a vision, both short and long-term, into the operations at the café, which is a fun and creative challenge.
From My Heart: Foster Care
Foster care and adoption is something Isaac and I are very passionate about. Our son Xayvion came into our lives through foster care and in 2021, we welcomed him to our family through adoption. In fact, my family celebrated the three year anniversary of Xayvion's adoption this past weekend!
Small Town, Big Heart
Tucker&Co is located in Dillsburg, a place where small-town charm meets rich history. I have lived in Dillsburg (almost) my entire life and it is where I am raising my family and growing my business.
Trivia with the Tuckers
In case you missed it, we hosted our monthly trivia at the bakery café this past Friday. Our host Jared Veto had a packed house and some challenging questions for his participants. How much random knowledge do you have? Test yourself on some of the trivia questions from this past Friday as well as some original Tucker&Co Trivia!
Café Love Languages
Whether you're single or taken this Valentine's Day, we want to make you feel loved as our customers. Here's some fun ways to incorporate the bakery café into your week of love - ways for each of the five Love Languages.
Latte Art in Gettysburg
Our friends over at Presidents Coffee had their Latte Art Throwdown this past Friday in Gettysburg, so Tucker&Co took a team outing to put our latte art skills to the test and have some fun with friends!
Tucker & JOSEPH
One of my favorite bands of all time, JOSEPH, is on tour and they recently made a stop on our side of town. My husband and I bought tickets for their concert a while back and the day ended up being even more special than we could have imagined!
Back to the Grind - literally
Do you hear that hum? It's the newest addition to our bakery cafe’s back counter - an automatic dosing espresso grinder. I was recently able to make this exciting purchase thanks to a grant awarded by the York County Economic Alliance.
Life Imitates Art…
They say life imitates art…well we've noticed how our café playlists imitate us. It’s no wonder we keep hitting play on these songs at the café this winter…
In "To the Mountains" Lizzy McAlpine sings about heading to the mountains because it's the only place she feels at peace. Someone tell her to bring some Tucker&Co granola with her for her as she escapes the hustle and bustle to seek that inner calm!
An Adventure Through New England
Recently, one of our team members, Sarah, took an adventure to Rhode Island and Connecticut! As you might have discovered, all of our team members love spending time by the ocean! Check out what cool adventures she went on during her trip!
Meet Our Smoothies!
Summer is officially here, aka the perfect time for smoothies! Our summer smoothies are a crowd favorite here at the bakery. We love making refreshing and yummy smoothies with real, nutritious fruits. They are a great way to cool down on your way to outdoor summer adventures, or as a little something to sip as you get work done!
Summer Concert Series: JUNE
Not many people know this about us, but Isaac and I have a bit of a history with live music. A while back we traveled with a band that Isaac was in, and they played gigs all across the states! We had lots of fun adventures back then, and it grew into an even deeper love for music. That is why we’ve been so excited about our summer concert series here at the bakery, getting to highlight local musicians and provide live music for our community!
Coffee Coffee Coffee!
Coffee. We all love it, some of us can’t live without it. The truth is, coffee tells a story. Behind every cup of coffee you consume there are people who have labored to get it to you, from the workers on the coffee farms to the baristas behind the counter. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how much coffee we consume, not just in America, but here in our little Bakery Cafe on South Baltimore Street.
Celebrating our Local Graduates!
As the beginning of summer approaches, so does the end of the school year! As student’s in town are itching for school to be out, we’re getting especially excited for this year's graduating class of 2023!
Summer Concert Series Kickoff
It’s a fun week for us here at Tucker&Co! On Wednesday May 24th we’ll be having a ribbon cutting ceremony with the York County Economic Alliance at 12pm to celebrate opening our outdoor seating areas in this summer season, and Friday May 26th from 6-8pm we have our Summer Concert Series Kickoff here at the Bakery. We’re so excited for all that this week holds, and we can’t wait to share it all with you!
Brands We Love: Honey Bear Ice Cream
This week I want to highlight one of our favorite fellow local women entrepreneurs running a brilliant small business!
