Baked With
Uncompromising
Devotion
For nearly three decades, Mercedes & Mink has stood as a quiet monument to the art of bread — and the finer provisions that accompany it. Springfield Avenue is our home.

Our Heritage
A Tradition Forged in Flour, Patience, and Good Sense
Mercedes & Mink was founded on a conviction that the best things — the best bread, the finest butter, the most honest jam — cannot be hurried. What began as a modest bakery counter has grown into one of Springfield Avenue's most trusted food destinations, yet our philosophy has not changed.
Every morning, our ovens are lit before dawn. Every afternoon, our shelves are stocked with goods that reflect the seasons and the standards we hold for ourselves. We are not a chain. We are not a franchise. We are a neighborhood institution, and we intend to remain one.
