Rather than offering on-site seating, the bakery is designed around quick drive-thru service for customers picking up freshly baked bread.
“From the research I’ve done, I haven’t found another dedicated sourdough bread drive-thru quite like what we’re creating,” Hintz explained. “I love the idea of taking something very traditional, naturally fermented sourdough bread, and pairing it with an extremely modern and convenient way to buy it.”
Ahead of its fall opening, Seminole Sourdough is hosting pop-ups at Indian Rocks Fresh Market, Belleair Market, and Gulf Coast Seafood Market to introduce its bread to the surrounding community.
“The response has been incredible, and many of our pop-ups have sold out very quickly,” Hintz said. “They give new customers a chance to try Seminole Sourdough while allowing me to continue baking for our returning customers until our permanent location is ready.”
Hintz credits her father, her friend Paul Noeske, local cottage bakery Care-N-Loaves, and St. Pete-based Ganster & Company Painting with helping bring the bakery to life.
