A Phresh New All Good!

The excitement mounts over here at All Good Bakers! We're closed this week for some fun renovations and a new menu design, but we can't wait to get back to the serious business of baking bread and breaking it with our All Good family. On top of a phresh new look, we're also debuting extended hours!

The shop will reopen for lunch at 11 am on Thursday August 15th. We hope that you will check us out if you haven't yet had the opportunity to do so, and we look forward to seeing you!

SPAC PHISH TICKETS GIVEAWAY

Phish's Summer Tour begins IN TWO DAYS!

Phish Tour marks the official start of summer for us and we can't wait to see what our favorite band has cooking up! We'll be going to all three nights at SPAC, then driving back to Albany to catch a few zzz's, run service at the shop, and back up to Saratoga again (x3).

It's what we call our "Working Vacation", the only one we take all year. Last year, Nick famously worked/phished/went without sleep for 72 hours straight when he was doing ALL of the overnight baking and lunch services. He/we'll still be working monster hours this week, but this is how we blow off steam, see our friends and get inspired, so it's worth it.
All that's left is to Surrender to the Flow.

Issue #37 STTF Cover by our friend & Troy Artist, Drew Suto

Surrender is featuring a very awesome article about us and other Phan owned restaurants/cafes/breweries around the country called "Phish Dish" in this issue, #37! Make plans to visit them all.

(Big Congrats to our friend/editor Christy Articola for starting STTF, and continuing to collaborate with phans to push out issues every tour for 15 years!)

Look for issues on lot and in the shop, we've got 'em! Produced by phans, for phans and chock full of information you need to know On Tour.

New Summer Hours

AGB's NEW SUMMER HOURS

Wednesdays

Farm to Chef Dinners at 6:00 and 8:00 pm

by reservation only

(closed during the day)

Thursdays

9am-3pm for Baked Goods only

(and potentially bread, depending on demand)

Kitchen will be closed!
(See below for explanation)

Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays

9am-3pm with Loaves, Baked Goods, Full Cafe Menu

(~~Note the later closing time~~)
*edit 6/25: We had planned to stay open till 4pm Fri-Sun but Nick works a 16 hour day Friday and Britin is at the Farmers Market all day - we just can't push our stamina levels any further without complete burnout occurring. We'll try again at a later date. Sincere apologies!

On Thursdays, we will be focusing on our wholesale accounts with Mingle (crackers, flatbreads, burger rolls), Slidin' Dirty (slider rolls), Dali Mamma (sandwich loaves, mini baguettes) and a new partnership with the Honest Weight Food Coop (onion burger rolls for specialty sandwiches). We will attempt to produce crackers and dog treats that have been in high demand for retail sale at the shop and Saturday Delmar Farmers Market (other prep for the market will take place on Thursday as well). We hope to start providing FarmieMarket with burger and hoagie rolls for their Thursday deliveries and we'd like to produce enough to also have them available at the shop/farmers market. As you can see, we will be very busy bees. We won't be able to do all of this at once, but we'll streamline in good time.

Reasoning:

Wednesday and Thursdays during summer have been traditionally less busy at the shop. We suspect it has to do with the abundance of food trucks downtown, warm weather and soft grass on which to cop a squat (not to mention not having to drive for lunch). We get it, we'd do the same if we worked downtown and have love for our fellow food entrepreneurs! During winter, it seems we get a lot more downtown business. Plus, everyone we know is patronizing one of the fabulous farmers markets or CSAs available in our area, which means you're all eating more fresh food - how could we scoff at that? We're adjusting to changing market conditions while trying to capitalize on the higher demand for wholesale that has been coming our way, and focusing on adding additional requested products. Personally, these hours work better for our family in summer - we all get up and go to bed a little later. We're hoping it'll work out to be a win all around.

WE WILL BE OPEN FRI-SUN WITH A FULL MENU,
BAKED GOODS & LOAVES!

Please help spread the word.

Eat Well, Do Good,

Britin & Nick Foster
