Brioquill Bakehouse | Small-batch bread and cafe, St. George, Utah

The deck oven glowing warm with loaves baking inside

Bread that needs a day and a half.

Two bakers, one deck oven, a counter that seats eleven.

Brioquill started in a rented kitchen in 2019 with one rack and a starter named Gertrude. The dough ferments cold for 36 hours, which is the whole secret and the reason we cannot make more.

Cafe coffee is pulled from a two-group machine. Pastry sells out in the order it comes out. The preorder counter holds a third of every bake so a regular never drives across town for nothing.

Allergens, cakes, the fine print.

What allergens are in your kitchen?

Wheat, milk, eggs and tree nuts (walnut, almond) are all handled daily. Sesame appears on one seeded loaf. We cannot promise a nut-free or gluten-free item, and we say so plainly at the counter.

Do you make custom cakes?

Yes, 6 inch to quarter sheet, starting at $58. We need five days notice and a 50 percent deposit when we agree on the sketch. Phone or text with the date and headcount.

How far ahead should I preorder?

Loaves and pastry: by 9 pm the night before. Half-dozen boxes: a full day. Holiday weeks fill up around ten days out.

Can I get a whole loaf sliced?

Sure. Ask at pickup and we will run it through the slicer for free, thick or thin.
