What If Your Morning Bread
Actually Tasted Like Something?
At Compound The Commission, we bake from scratch every day — sourdough loaves with a crackling crust, flaky pastries that shatter when you break them, and a curated grocery selection that makes weeknight dinners feel like a treat. All right here on Ruth Street.
From Our Oven to Your Table
Every item on our shelves is chosen with care — whether it's been rising in our proofing box since dawn or sourced from makers we trust across the region.
Artisan Sourdough
Our 48-hour fermented sourdough develops a deep, complex flavor and a crust that sings. Available daily in round or batard shapes.
Laminated Pastries
Butter layers that shatter at the slightest touch. Croissants, pain au chocolat, and seasonal fruit tarts — made from scratch each morning.
Sweet & Savory Breads
From cinnamon-raisin brioche to rosemary focaccia, our bread bin holds something for every occasion — breakfast, dinner, or in-between.
Curated Grocery
Olive oils, artisan cheeses, small-batch preserves, and pantry essentials — each one hand-selected to complement what we bake.
Coffee & Beverages
Locally roasted coffee, fresh juices, and seasonal drinks to pair with your pastry — or take home for the week ahead.
Custom Celebrations
Birthdays, weddings, holidays — we bake and decorate custom cakes for your milestones. Order ahead and let us make it memorable.
Built on Ruth Street,
Grown by the Neighborhood
Compound The Commission started with a simple conviction: the food your neighborhood serves should taste like someone actually cares. Not corporate, not mass-produced — just honest bread, real ingredients, and the kind of service that makes you want to come back.
We opened our doors in the 19134 zip code because this is our community too. Every loaf we bake, every jar we shelf, and every conversation we have at the counter is part of building something that belongs here. That's the commission we signed up for — showing up, doing it right, and making sure the people next door have something good to eat.
