Uppercrust is an artisan bakery. We make all our products from scratch, and present them the day they are baked. Truly fresh baked goods are a unique pleasure of life, and it is thrill to serve them to you. Uppercrust also showcases specialty artisan products. These foods, wines (!), stationery, and gift ideas are meticulously curated by our team to complement our homemade offerings.
Uppercrust Productions was founded in 1981 by Jacqueline “Jackie” Dufty. She started a small bakery informed by her travels and experiences. By 1986, Jackie’s products and ebullient hospitality developed a following that outstripped her cramped quarters, and she moved the operation to its current location in The Gainesville Marketplace.
Four principles have guided Uppercrust since its inception:
- “Close-your-eyes-delicious” food
- An experience that enriches the mind as well as the senses
- Continual improvement
- Trust in our guests’ good taste
Our steadfast commitment to those principles for forty years explains the bakery’s long-standing place in the Gainesville community. We are grateful to honor and expand on Jackie’s vision.
