Bread that makes your kitchen feel like a restaurant.

Every loaf at Wood & Grain Project starts with a 48-hour cold ferment, locally milled stone flour, and a patience most commercial bakeries have forgotten. The result is crust that shatters and crumb that holds everything together.

Our Story

We bake the way your grandmother insisted — slowly, carefully, and with nothing to hide.

Wood & Grain Project was born from a simple conviction: that the bread on your table should taste like something someone actually cared about. Not something engineered for shelf life, but something that carries the weight of time, technique, and real ingredients.

Located on South Mint Street in Charlotte's South End, our bakery is a small-batch operation by design. We bake twelve times a day, every day, because bread this good doesn't wait — and neither do we. Every loaf, every pastry, every batch of granola is made in-house from recipes we've refined over years of showing up early and paying attention.

Our groceries section is equally intentional. We partner with regional producers who share our standards, so the olive oil, the honey, the preserves on our shelves are the same quality you'd find in our ovens.

Wood & Grain Project
What We Make

From our oven to your table — every day, fresh.

Round sourdough boule with a deeply caramelized, flour-dusted crust
Signature

Sourdough

Our 48-hour cold-fermented sourdough — thick, crackling crust with an open, tangy crumb. Baked at dawn, sold by afternoon.

Golden layered croissants arranged on a marble surface with a pat of butter

Butter Croissants

Forty layers of French butter and laminated dough, folded by hand each morning. Shatters when you break it — that's the standard.

Assortment of seasonal pastries and tarts on a wooden serving board

Seasonal Pastries

Rotating with the seasons — fig and almond in autumn, citrus and poppy in spring. Always made the day it's sold.

Glass jars of house-made granola and overnight oats on a bakery shelf

Granola & Oats

Small-batch granola baked until deep golden, plus overnight oats in rotating flavors. Made with local honey and whole grains.

Curated grocery shelves with artisan oils, vinegars, and regional pantry staples

Curated Groceries

Olive oils, aged balsamics, regional honeys, and pantry essentials from producers we've tasted and trusted. Everything earns its shelf space.

Elegant layered cake with fresh berries and whipped cream on a serving plate

Cakes & Celebrations

Custom cakes for birthdays, weddings, and everything in between. Order 48 hours ahead — we bake them fresh, never frozen.

Why It Matters

The difference between good bread and great bread is time — and we have it.

48-Hour Fermentation

Slow rise develops flavor and digestibility that fast bread can't match.

Stone-Milled Local Flour

Sourced from Carolina mills — whole grain, fresh milled, full flavor.

Made with Intention

No shortcuts, no preservatives — just flour, water, salt, and time.

The sourdough from Wood & Grain changed how my family thinks about bread. My kids actually ask for it now — and that says everything.
