Jacob & Eva

The first time I met Jake and Daniel was at a party at Amber’s house. I had been baking sourdough bread for a little over a year, and was SO excited to talk about bread / dough with anyone who would listen. I showed them pictures of a sourdough focaccia I made. They both asked me to take a loaf to the shop, which I never did because how could I impress the dough masters?! They were so receptive and present and willing to talk to an amateur baker. Anytime we went into howdy bagel, Jake would greet us with his warm smile and a ‘Oh my gosh, how are you guys doing?!’ Like we had known each other for years. His legacy will live on forever. I am beyond grateful I got to meet him, even if it was just for a short time.

This is me and my daughter outside of howdy! Even for a picky toddler, she absolutely loved their bagels! Jake and Daniel would also greet her with the biggest smile we are forever grateful for knowing Jake!
