Come in for a cup of Stiver’s coffee, and enjoy a piece of Mom’s Chocolate Cake today. or an oatmeal cranberry pistachio white chocolate cookie, or a s’more.or a whoopie pie.

History

Established in 1999.

Ten years ago, Michael was on the hunt for holiday gifts for his printing business customers. Since Liz and he baked all during the holidays, he thought, why not make baskets ourselves? When customers received the cookies and brownies, inquiries poured in and The Bent Fork was invented around 1:00 a.m. on a cold night. We opened the store in 2004, and have expanded into a full service bakery, providing sweet stuff to the northshore and city. Oh, and Michael left the printing business in 2005 to join Liz, just adding more sweetness to their 18 years of wedded bliss!
