The team behind the bakery hopes it can be a “third place” for the community. Comedy shows, trivia, DJ nights and improv are in the works, Parsons said.
“We are trying to make this space event-heavy,” he said. “I definitely want to start more of a comedy scene here.”
The shop features bright, weed-inspired artwork on the walls, neon weed plant lights with tables and comfy chairs, and a large mural with the bakery’s name in the middle painted by local artist Ali Cantarella.
To make the space more conducive to shows and events, the owners plan to build a mini stage near the mural and add a disco ball and perhaps a removable dance floor for nighttime fun with a “vibrantly glow-y” vibe, Parsons said.
Parsons, who lives in the neighborhood, found his way to the bakery after seeing employment signs. He said the manager job is a perfect fit for his skills and passions, which include edibles and comedy.
