Rebel Bread

Tastemaker
By Lynda Wheatley | April 11, 2020

Now seems like a good time to carb load. And if you’re going to do it, we suggest you do it well (i.e. no preservatives, corn syrup, soy lecithin, hydrogenated soybean oil, or other unnecessary crud) and inexpensively by packing $100 or more on one of Common Good Bakery’s Rebel Bread cards. Hear us out. The Rebel Bread card not only nabs you an $8.95 loaf of bread for only $4.50, you get Common Good’s insanely tasty, crusty, and almost sweet rustic baguettes for only $1 each, and a free cup of coffee every single time you pick up your discounted loaf. And right now, that’s a generous 6am–3pm Tuesday through Saturday curbside availability. Limiting your trips out? Even better.

Common Good embraces (figuratively speaking, of course) Rebels who order a few loaves at once, noting that its sourdough lasts well over a week when bagged, and all of the bakery’s breads (and many of its pastries, which unfortunately aren’t part of the Rebel Bread package) freeze incredibly well.
For more info or to order, call (231) 933-8002 or www.commongoodbakery.com (where, starting April 14, you can also buy hard-to-find grocery items like flour, butter, eggs — and even toilet paper). Find Common Good Bakery’s curb at
537 W 14th St., Traverse City.
