Our Story

Baking with purpose,
serving with soul

Grillin' & Groovin' started as a weekend passion — a home oven, a handful of recipes, and a conviction that the bread in Rocky Hill deserved better. What began at a single farmers market table has grown into a beloved corner shop on Fern Street, where the aroma of fresh sourdough greets you before you even push the door open.

We mill our own flour blends, ferment our starters for 48 hours, and source dairy, eggs, and produce from farms within 50 miles. Our grocery section carries the same thoughtfulness — small-batch preserves, local honey, artisan cheeses, and pantry staples we'd actually keep in our own kitchen.

Kind Words

What our neighbors say

We drive from Farmington just for their sourdough. The crust, the crumb, the tang — nothing from the grocery store comes close. This is what bread is supposed to taste like.

M

M. Torres

Rocky Hill resident

The grocery section is a hidden gem — local honey, amazing cheeses, and preserves that actually taste like fruit. Paired with a fresh croissant and espresso, it's my Saturday ritual.

S

Wethersfield regular

They made the most beautiful birthday cake for my daughter — vanilla bean with raspberry compote. Every guest asked where it was from. We'll be back every year.
