M’s Bakery, a local owner-operator bakery cafe from husband-and-wife Dario Muciño and Macy Davis, is set to open in the Old Mill District this fall.    

Focusing on natural fermented breads with organic flours and local ingredients, M’s Bakery will make its home right in the heart of the Old Mill District, across from Anthropologie and next to Avalon Salon & Spa. M’s Bakery goods are currently available fresh and daily at Jackson’s Corner.  

“We’ll have a variety of fresh artisanal breads and pastries daily,” says Macy, who handles the marketing and PR for the business while Dario is the creative genius in the kitchen. “Sourdough country loaves, focaccias, baguettes, croissants as well as seasonal items. You’ll find a blend of diverse breakfast and lunch offerings sourced with local ingredients and products. We’re also excited to bring our Mexican heritage with us by sharing a collection of favorite chocolates, coffee and wines from Mexico. We really prioritize community, so we’ll also be hosting monthly baking workshops that will include a variety of classes for adults and kids.”  

Born and raised in Mexico City, Dario earned a culinary degree in Querétaro before working in Toronto, Canada and eventually the Four Seasons Troon North in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he and Macy met.   

The couple and their daughter Maya moved to Bend last summer with the goal of opening their own bakery after falling in love with the state of Oregon.   

“We’re so excited to be opening in the Old Mill District because it feels like the heart of the city and a unique hub for the community,” Macy adds. “As we build out, we want to curate a special space for all our friends to gather and enjoy. Being close to the river is always a plus!” 

M’s Bakery, which also does wholesale baking for clients around Central Oregon, will be open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch.  

“With all products being made and baked in the Old Mill District you will see our friendly staff who are passionate about their craft, creating breads and pastries throughout the day.” Macy adds. “Come say hello and introduce yourself, we can’t wait to meet you!”
