Our Mission
At Elizabeth Avenue Bakes, we believe that school food should nourish more than just the body—it should comfort, inspire, and remind kids that someone truly cares. We’re here to rewrite the narrative around institutional meals and snacks with one bold promise:
No more slop. No more shrink-wrapped sugar bombs.
We’re bringing back the dignity, joy, and goodness of real food.
We handcraft nostalgic, premium-quality baked goods using ancient grains, clean ingredients, and small-batch care—because kids deserve better, and so do the incredible staff who serve them.
Our Story
I’m a mom of four. I pack lunches, juggle schedules, and run through the school drop-off line like the rest of us. But I kept seeing the same thing: cafeteria food that felt like an afterthought. Bland, overly processed, and void of the love and care that home cooking brings.
So I created Elizabeth Avenue Bakes to change the game.
We don’t operate like a cheap commercial food service. We are a micro-bakery with a mission: to deliver gourmet-style, clean-label, school-approved baked goods that feel like they came straight from Grandma’s kitchen—but scaled smartly for the school cafeteria.
Our muffins, cookies, waffles, and snacks are made with real ingredients, ancient grains, and the kind of flavor that makes kids smile and parents breathe easy. Because nourishing young minds should never mean compromising on quality.
We’re not here to fit in.
We’re here to raise the standard—and make school food something to look forward to. All my best, Candice Hartman
