Cottage Bakery Announces Closing In Waterford

WATERFORD, CT — Shoreline Sourdough, a cottage bakery in Waterford, will close, according to a social media post from the owner.

"I just wanted to officially announce that I will be closing," the business posted on Facebook. "The thing that’s disappointing is I would have kept going if affording a bread oven and ungraded equipment was an option but as it stands right now, the amount of time spent baking just doesn’t make sense and I’ve felt burnt out. It’s especially heartbreaking because I feel like I’m giving up on something I really enjoyed. I really appreciate all the support over the last year, every customer has been amazing and I’ve made a lot of long lasting friendships with some of you. Thank you all."

The cottage bakery serves a variety of breads like baguettes and herb focaccia loaves along with sweet and savory favorites. The shop operates out of the owner's home on Hickory Lane.

The bakery became licensed and opened in August 2025.
