There’s a heartwarming story behind Alabama’s newest must-try bakery!

Stinson’s Bakery

With the opening of Stinson Breads in Opelika, Anna Claire and Matthew Stinson turned what started out as baking for friends into a full-time bakery, and it’s bringing so much more than just sourdough to its community.

 

Stinson said they began experimenting and making sourdough together in October 2019 for friends, and it wasn’t long before others began reaching out through social media, asking how to buy their bread. Over the next five years, the couple went from making bread in their kitchen to renting commercial kitchen space to keep up with demand to ultimately opening their own storefront in charming downtown Opelika in 2024.
