A Bakery Built Around Real Grain

Moxie Bread Co. is not your average bakery. The North Boulder location at 4593 Broadway is home to both a retail shop and a working grain mill — which means the flour used in the bread you buy was likely milled just a short distance from where you're standing. That is a rare thing, and it shows in the quality of every loaf.

The bakery was founded by Andy Clark, who built Moxie around bread made from 100% heirloom grains grown by family farms across Colorado and neighboring states. In 2020, Moxie opened The Mill Site, a non-profit wholesale stone mill, in North Boulder. Andy died in November 2022 at 46; Moxie's own site remembers him as its "founder and fearless leader."

Address: 4593 Broadway, Boulder, CO 80304

Hours:

  • Monday – Friday: 7:30 AM – 4:00 PM
  • Saturday – Sunday: 7:30 AM – 3:00 PM


What They Bake

The bread is the star. Moxie is best known for its sourdough loaves made from heirloom wheat varieties like Red Fife, Emmer, Spelt, and White Sonora. These are not commercial commodity grains — they are older varieties with more complex flavors and better nutritional profiles. The slow fermentation and stone milling process produce loaves with a depth of flavor you simply cannot get from supermarket bread.

Beyond sourdough, the North Boulder shop carries:

  • Pastries
  • Fresh-baked breads available daily until they sell out
  • Coffee from an expanded coffee bar
  • A mercantile with prepared foods, fresh flowers, and local eggs and dairy

The menu changes with the seasons and grain availability, so what you find on one visit may be different on the next.

The Mill at 4593 Broadway

The North Boulder location is also home to The Mill Site, a non-profit 501(c)3 wholesale stone mill next door to Moxie Feed + Seed, which supplies flour at a lower markup to chefs, bakers and other artisans. This setup makes Moxie one of the few places in Colorado where you can buy fresh flour milled from locally grown heirloom grain and take it home to bake with yourself.

If you are interested in baking at home, the shop carries bags of their own milled flour. Moxie is a founding member of the Colorado Grain Chain, a non-profit that promotes heritage, ancient and locally-adapted grains.

Worth the Visit

Moxie Bread Co. draws a loyal following from across Boulder, but the 80304 zip code is lucky to have the mill site and retail shop right in the neighborhood. Whether you stop in for a loaf of sourdough, a pastry and a coffee, or a bag of fresh-milled flour, you are getting something that took real care to produce.

Go early — bread sells out, and the pastries go fast on weekends.
