Our Story

Baked With Conviction, Served With Warmth

Cup of Jo & More began as a quiet conviction: that the communities along State Highway 96 deserved a bakery that matched the depth and character of the redwoods surrounding them. What started as weekend markets has grown into a destination — a place where neighbors come for the sourdough and stay because someone remembered their name.

Locally Sourced, Seasonally Inspired

We partner with nearby farms and mills so every loaf and pastry carries the unmistakable sense of place that defines this corner of Mendocino County.

Small Batches, Never Rushed

Our ferments run their full course. Our laminations get the folds they need. We'd rather sell out early than ship anything that doesn't meet our standard.

A Gathering Place, Not Just a Shop

Whether you're grabbing a morning coffee to go or settling in for an hour, we've built Cup of Jo to feel like someone's kitchen — only the bread is better.

Why Choose Us

The Cup of Jo Difference

It's not one thing that sets us apart — it's the accumulation of a hundred small decisions made with care, day after day.

Layered Flavor

Every recipe is built in stages — long ferments, proper rest times, and flavor development that can't be rushed or replicated by shortcuts.

Rooted Here

We're neighbors first. Our ingredients come from farms we know by name, and our community is the reason we show up every morning.

Made With Intention

No preservatives, no industrial shortcuts. Just real ingredients, traditional techniques, and the kind of attention that turns baking into craft.

Community First

We sponsor local events, source from neighboring farms, and believe a bakery should be a gathering place — not just a transaction.

What People Say

From Our Regulars

The best compliments come after the first bite — and the second, and the third.

“

I drove past a dozen chain bakeries on the way up and kept thinking — there has to be something better. Found it at Cup of Jo. Their sourdough alone makes the detour worth it.

We ordered a custom cake for our anniversary and it was the kind of thing that makes your guests ask where you found it. The attention to detail was extraordinary.
