Not a trend.
A standard.

812 Nutrition was born from a simple frustration: why was it so hard to find food that actually tasted like food? We opened our doors at 808 3rd St with one rule — if we wouldn't eat it ourselves, we wouldn't sell it.

Every loaf, every pastry, every jar on our shelves goes through the same test. Clean labels. Recognizable ingredients. Flavor that doesn't need a footnote. We bake in small batches, source from regional farms when we can, and never cut corners to move product faster.

From the oven
and the shelf

Our rotating selection reflects what's fresh, what's seasonal, and what our bakers are proud of that week.

Built on patience,
not production

Great food can't be rushed. Here's what goes into every item that leaves our kitchen.

01

Source Intentionally

We work with regional millers and farmers who share our standards. If the ingredient list doesn't make sense, we don't buy it.

02

ferment & Rest

Our sourdoughs rest 36–48 hours. Pastry doughs cold-proof overnight. Speed is the enemy of flavor — we take our time.

03

Bake in Small Batches

Multiple bake rounds per day, not one massive run. This means better texture, consistent quality, and nothing sitting under a heat lamp.

04

Serve Same Day

What you buy in our shop was baked that morning. If it doesn't sell, it goes to compost — never to tomorrow.

What people
are saying

We let the food do the talking — but our regulars can't resist a few words.

I drove past a dozen bakeries before I found 812 Nutrition. The sourdough changed my mind about what bread could be. I haven't bought anything else since.

Finally, a place that takes dietary needs seriously without making everything taste like cardboard. The vegan pastries here are genuinely incredible.

The pantry section alone is worth the visit. I've discovered olive oils, flours, and preserves I never knew existed — and now I can't cook without them.
