Our Story

A tradition of
slow baking and
honest ingredients

Mai Bakery began with a simple conviction: that the best bread comes from patience, quality flour, and a respect for the craft. Every loaf we pull from the oven carries the hours of fermentation, the warmth of the hearth, and the care of hands that know the difference.

Located on Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth, we have been a quiet neighborhood staple — the kind of place where regulars know their usual by heart, and where the aroma of baking sourdough is enough to turn a passerby into a lifelong customer.

"The smell of fresh bread is one of the oldest and most comforting invitations to kindness."

The Craft

Patience is our
secret ingredient

We don't rush dough. Our sourdough ferments for 24 hours in the cold, developing flavor and digestibility that no shortcut can replicate. Our croissants are laminated by hand, folded and turned until the layers are just right.

This is not fast food. It is not mass-produced. It is bread and pastry made the way they were meant to be — slowly, carefully, and with attention to every detail.
