Bread that takes
time — because
flavor never hurries.

Buster & Dill is a neighborhood bakery and specialty grocer on Matthews Township Parkway. We bake small batches from scratch, source from regional producers, and keep our shelves stocked with the ingredients your kitchen actually needs.

Our Story

Two names, one philosophy: do it slowly, do it right.

Buster & Dill started as a weekend bake stand at the Matthews farmers market — a loaf of sourdough, a jar of honey, and a conviction that the food we serve should make people stop and taste it again.

Today we occupy a small shop on Matthews Township Parkway, but the approach hasn't changed. We bake each morning. We order from farms we've met in person. We turn down suppliers who can't tell us where their ingredients came from. It's slower than the alternative. It tastes like it should.

What We Offer

From the oven and the shelf

Artisan Breads

Sourdough, ciabatta, and seasonal loaves baked every morning. Each batch uses a starter we've tended since day one. Available while supplies last.

Pantry Staples

Oils, vinegars, pastas, spices, and preserves from producers we trust. Everything on our shelves has earned its place — no filler, no commoditized brands.

Seasonal Produce

Weekly deliveries from local farms. What's ripe, what's abundant, what your grandmother would approve of. The menu changes with the calendar.

Special Orders

Celebration cakes, holiday platters, and catering spreads — built to order. Give us a few days and a clear idea of who's eating.

Our Philosophy

Three rules we don't bend

01

Bake first, sell second

We bake in the morning and sell through the day. When something sells out, it sells out. We'd rather close early than freeze yesterday's loaf.

02

Know your supplier

If we can't name the farm, the mill, or the producer, it doesn't go on our shelf. We visit our partners. We ask questions. We keep the relationship.

03

Let the ingredient speak

Our job is to get out of the way. Good flour needs only time and salt. Good fruit needs only to be ripe. We resist the urge to overcomplicate.
