Open! Mayflour bakery 162 Main Street in #EssexMA

Posted on by Catherine

Mayflour is now open in Essex! Tucked into the colorful junction of Main St & Rt. 133, the new space has the same calm & cheery vibe it had in Rockport, only more so. The specialty cake and coffee shop is much bigger with several tables and chairs inside, and access outback to standing tables, a pollinator garden, and ever-changing vistas of the gorgeous Great Marsh.

What’s carried through to Essex from Rockport? Master confectioner Jocelyn’s award winning pre order specialty and wedding cakes and tasty sweet and savory treats are made from organic and locally sourced ingredients. Also, Mayflour’s morning beverages–the organic and cold brew coffee, teas, and seasonal sips (especially come winter their yummy hot chocolate and marshmallows)–are returning favorites.

What’s new?

One big and happy addition is a cold case so Mayflour can stock pot de crème and other small fancies on any given day, and speciality cakes on Fridays and Saturdays for any “last minute” and “just because” celebrations we all can use more of.

Parking

There is one accessible parking spot to the right of the entrance. Six parking spots are available across the street on Main St. in front of Andrew Spindler Antiques. The bakery opens at 7:30 A.M.–before 8 A.M. is hard to come by for a bakery on Cape Ann–so it’s a convenient stop before work or school.
