Community Bakery was started in 1947 by Ralph Hinson in the Rose City section of North Little Rock. The bakery moved to a storefront near 14th and Main Streets in Little Rock in 1952 where, over the years, it became an institution in the area. Hinson’s head cake decorator, Agnes Bargiel, bought the business from him in the late 1970′s and operated it until she sold it to Joe Fox in 1983. Bargiel continued to decorate cakes at Community Bakery until she died in 2008. Fox opened the West Little Rock location in 1986 and then relocated the Main Street store to its current spot after renovating the vacant historic Cohn Building. The Café operation, espresso bar and distinctive line of European style pastries were added when the bakery opened in the Cohn Building at 12th and Main in 1993. All of our baking and cake decorating is done at the Main Street location and many of the recipes used 60 years ago are still in use today. Community Bakery employs 65 people to meet the needs of our customers here in central Arkansas.

OCTOBER ARTIST OF THE MONTH 🎨⁠
⁠
We’re excited to feature the work of Ella McGoldrick an LGBTQ+ mixed-media portrait artist based right here in Little Rock!⁠ ⁠
⁠
Inspired by the fashion and flair of the 1920s and 1930s, their artwork brings together bold patterns, contrasting colors, and playful shapes to create portraits full of personality and vintage charm. Their unique artistic style celebrates individuality, creativity, and the beauty of self-expression.⁠

🥐 BEHIND THE APRON: CINDY YOUNTS 🍪⁠
⁠
Meet Cindy Younts, one of our Customer Service Representatives at our West Little Rock location! Cindy has been part of the Community Bakery family for just over a year. ❤️⁠
⁠
Her bakery favorite? Our Smoked Goat Panini — and when it comes to her go-to CB order, Cindy is grabbing a caramel macchiato and a blueberry scone. ☕🫐⁠
⁠
What does she love most about working at Community Bakery?⁠
⁠
“The people I work with. They make Community Bakery a great place to be.”⁠
⁠
And there’s a whole lot more to Cindy than what you see behind the counter! Before joining us, she spent 30 years as a hairdresser. She still loves doing hair, loves reggae music 🎶, and says “having a grandson rocks!” ❤️⁠
⁠
One of the moments that makes her feel especially valued at CB? When a new team member comes to her with a question about the job. After more than a year with us, Cindy has become someone others know they can turn to—and we love that.⁠
⁠
And what does Cindy try to bring to work every day?⁠
⁠
“Put a smile on everyone’s face.” 😊⁠
⁠
We think she does a pretty great job of that.⁠
⁠
We’re proud to have Cindy behind the apron. Drop her some love in the comments! ❤️
