Charming Small-Town Vermont Bakery for Sale
Business Description
Imagine waking up each morning to the smell of fresh dough rising, greeting neighbors with hot coffee and warm pastries, and being the heartbeat of a small Vermont town. This bakery isn’t just a business — it’s a place to greet the community, where families stop in before school, and where loyal customers come back day after day for breakfast, comfort food, and a smile.
For someone who loves baking and wants to own their work, this is a rare opportunity. The bakery is already established with steady sales and a loyal customer base, but what makes it truly special is the role it plays in the community. In a town with very few options for breakfast foods, you’ll be offering something that’s both needed and appreciated — cupcakes, doughnuts, muffins, cinnamon buns, coffee, and a warm welcome.
This is not a faceless investment; it’s a calling for someone who values hard but fulfilling work. It’s a chance to pour your creativity into recipes, delight people with special-order cakes and pastries, and serve the people around you in a tangible, meaningful way.
The business has plenty of potential for growth, but it also offers a simpler kind of success: independence, pride of ownership, and the joy of doing what you love every day. Whether you see yourself as an artisan baker, a small-town entrepreneur, or a mix of both, this bakery can be the platform for your vision.
The current owner is stepping away to start a family, and is seeking the right buyer to carry forward this bakery’s story. If you’ve ever dreamed of running your own shop, this is your chance to make it real in the heart of rural Vermont.
