Bub and Grandma's

What Bub and Grandma's does

Bub and Grandma's operates a multi-format artisan food business anchored in Los Angeles. The company runs a flagship breakfast and lunch restaurant in the Glassell Park neighborhood of northeast Los Angeles at 3507 Eagle Rock Boulevard, serving daily pastries, sandwiches, salads, sides, beer, and wine using breads produced in-house. Underlying the retail concept is a separate wholesale bakery at 2433 Riverside Drive (closed to the public) that produces poolish-leavened breads (baguettes, ciabatta, fougasse), naturally leavened sourdough varieties (House, Big House, Sesame, Seeded, 30% Rye, Spelt Polenta, Focaccia, Barbari), and specialty loaves (challah, potato buns), using house-made sourdough starters and stone-milled whole wheat.

The company generates revenue across four streams: restaurant dine-in and takeout (daily 8am-3pm, plus BG Nites jazz/dinner service Sunday and Monday 5pm-10pm), wholesale bakery distribution to 100+ restaurants, cafes, grocers, and specialty retailers across LA County, a catering program (subs, sandwiches, pies, pastries) with a 20% service fee and 3-day advance ordering, and farmers market sales at Culver City, DTLA South Park, and Hollywood. A separate Bub's Pizza sub-brand operates at 5101 York Boulevard in Highland Park with its own pickup and delivery. Ordering and delivery are handled through ToastTab, UberEats, and Square.

Customer segments are primarily local LA individual consumers (dine-in, takeout, delivery, catering) and wholesale bakery accounts. The business is privately held, operates with 1-10 employees across three physical locations, and uses organic social (Instagram @bubandgrandmasbread), farmers markets, and word-of-mouth as its primary marketing channels.
