Our Story

Rooted in Forest City,
Baked with Purpose

The Bar on Mane began with a simple conviction: that the best food starts with honest ingredients and patient craft. Located on West Main Street, we are a neighborhood bakery and specialty grocer where every loaf, pastry, and pantry item is chosen or made with care.

Our bakers arrive before dawn. Our suppliers are local whenever possible. And every customer who walks through our door is treated like a neighbor — because that is exactly who you are.

What We Offer

Crafted Daily,
Chosen Always

From the oven to the shelf, every item carries the same standard: quality you can taste, integrity you can trust.

Artisan Breads

Sourdough, ciabatta, multigrain, and seasonal loaves — each batch fermented slowly for depth of flavor and a crust that sings.

Freshly baked sourdough and artisan loaves

Pastries & Sweets

Butter croissants, fruit tarts, tarts, and daily specials that turn an ordinary morning into something worth savoring.

Assorted French pastries and sweets on display

Specialty Grocers

Curated pantry essentials — olive oils, vinegars, preserves, flours, and imports — sourced for quality and paired with our house-made staples.
