Cocoa powder, dried tart cherries, chocolate chunks, and a touch of sugar make this sourdough a delectable (but not too sweet) treat!

🍞 5 days until Asbury Fresh returns to Emory Sunday May 3rd 🍞 @benchmarkbreads is back with us at Asbury Fresh—and yes, the line is already forming in our heads. Betsy and Travis have built something really special here. What started as a passion for fermentation turned into handmade sourdough that people genuinely plan their Sundays around. It’s been a whole journey for them—growing, learning, and finding new ways to share their bread with a community they clearly love. Family-owned, deeply rooted in craft, and absolute masters of fermentation. Pro tip: get there early and hop on line. It moves, we promise. And honestly, the line is always worth the wait… and you’re probably going to make a few friends you haven’t met yet while you’re in it. See you Sunday. NEW HOURS 9am-2pm SAME LOCATION Find us on Emory St between Cookman & Lake Avenue!

🐇🐇Happy Easter Weekend!🐣🐣 We will NOT be open on Easter Sunday, but we made a ton of bread for tomorrow (Saturday 8am-2pm). Come stock up on all of your favorites, including Lemon/Blueberry and Jalapeño/Cheddar. In addition, we will have bagels, babka, cinnamon rolls, and cookies! No bunny shaped loaves, because well, we think all our Countries look like bunnies! 🚨REMINDER🚨 We will be CLOSED the following week for Sprint Break, but will be open on 4/11-4/12 for normal hours (8-2)

We are getting VERY close to completing our new production/shop space, and with that we are looking to add to our amazing team! We have a position in the shop that we are looking to fill ASAP. Hours to start will be… Wednesdays (8:30-4:30) Sundays (6:30-2:30) and Tuesdays (8:30-4:30) Wednesdays are our most immediate need so if you are open to the role and wanna jump right in, let us know! Back of house positions would begin once we move over to our new space (in the next month or so), but we are starting to interview now! The roles we are looking to fill will vary based on each candidate’s experience. This could range from an entry-level dough shaper to a full-time baker/mixer position. Experience is always a huge plus, but more important is a positive attitude, attention to detail, and willingness to learn. Additionally, there could be a situation where a candidate could support both our FOH and BOH where needed. If any of these roles sound like a good fit, please email us your resume to [email protected]!

☘️☘️IRISH SODA BREAD🍀🍀 We will have our version of this tasty treat FRI/SAT/SUN! We make ours with a combination of @ronnybrookfarm buttermilk, and a healthy amount of our sourdough starter. The dough is allowed to slightly bulk ferment overnight in the fridge, before shaping and baking the next morning! Made with organic raisins and just enough caraway seeds, all it needs is some @kerrygoldusa butter! Sláinte!

We’re excited to welcome @benchmarkbreads as a seasonal vendor at our Bell Works Fresh Wednesday Markets. If you know, you know… real sourdough is worth the hype. Naturally fermented, easier to digest, full of flavor, and baked with serious skill. It’s the kind of bread that doesn’t just sit on your counter, it becomes the reason for the meal. And honestly, with this week’s forecast looking a little gloomy, there’s no better excuse to get out of the house and treat yourself midweek. ☁️ Join us Wednesdays | 11–4 PM | Bell Works Main Atrium The weather may be crummy outside, but inside it’s always perfect. Cozy vibes, local makers, fresh food, and now your new favorite sourdough.

CHALLAH!! We’ve been trying to get this one out to you all for a while now! Non-dairy and naturally fermented, our version is made with wildflower honey and olive oil. Come grab some in shop this Wednesday! We will unfortunately NOT be at Bell Works (@bellworksfresh ) this week due to losing a prep day from the storm. We wanted to give you all enough time to pivot your plans a bit and come out to see us in Little Silver!
