The Harlow Family - Bakers Since 1987
Maple & Grain started in 1987 when Margaret Harlow began selling sourdough loaves out of her home kitchen in South Austin. Neighbors would knock on her door before sunrise to grab a loaf before they sold out, and they always did.
Her son David took over in the early 2000s, expanded to a small storefront on South Congress, and added pastries and coffee. Now his daughter Claire leads the kitchen, bringing new ideas while keeping the recipes that made this place what it is.
Three generations, one oven philosophy: use good ingredients, take your time, and bake something you're proud to put your name on.
