Fresh-baked goods aren’t the only sweet part about Beth’s Little Bake Shop. The Evanston bakery, which is celebrating its six-year anniversary in June, has built a growing community around its cakes and pastries.
Beth Welch, owner and executive pastry chef, and her husband, retail manager Mikey Oris, said a local store such as Beth’s is invaluable for the Evanston community. The shop helps create meaningful relationships that are irreplaceable, Oris said.
“We get hundreds of people in the shop each day and I know a significant percentage of the people by first name, and we know their orders,” Oris said. “When regular customers come to the shop, I already grab what they’re going to get before they ask.”
