Frequently Asked Questions

Are you hiring?

As we grow our business or current staff leave, we hire new staff. If you’d like to be considered, please email your resume to Angie@beehillbakery.com. Please don’t drop any paper copies off in person. Angie has a lot on her plate and will lose your resume.

If you possess the experience we need, we’ll contact you back. We do hire minors, but not too many at once due to the restrictions in what equipment they’re legally allowed to operate and the hours they’re allowed work.

Do you have any Gluten Free, Dairy-Free, or Vegan?

Our menu is limited due to the small size of our micro-bakery, but we do try to have 2-3 gluten free options each day. Please note that we are not a gluten-free facility and cross contamination can happen. We’re not currently offering items specifically dairy-free or vegan.

Can I make a reservation?

4/23/25 Update! We’re now allowing reservation requests on a limited basis. Please visit our reservation page to make your request. Outside of that, we are a first-come, first-served bakery. Please don’t show up for your reservation unless it’s been confirmed by us and you’ve paid your deposit.

Do you have a phone number?

No. We’re very busy while here and it’s too distracting and disruptive to answer non-stop calls.

Do you have savory options or meals?

We are a small micro-bakery with a very small kitchen that has limited capabilities. We prioritize our baked pastries first but do offer a very limited monthly menu of savory options. This menu is themed based on the month and available here on our site for you to view before visiting.

Can I bring my pet inside?

No. We kindly ask that you not bring any pets inside unless they are a service animal trained specifically for your disability. Comfort and/or emotional support animals are not service animals and not recognized by the ADA. We absolutely love furbabies, but our kitchen is public-facing and the risk of pet hair getting into our products is too high.

Why are you closed mid-week?

We’re a small, family-owned and operated place, and we need days off to rest. The owner also has two full-time jobs and is currently working about 80-90hrs a week between the two. In the near future, we plan to expand the days we’re open.

Can I make a custom order or pre-order something for pickup?

We offer pre-order service with a $100 minimum for certain items. Please click here to begin!

Will you donate to our charity?

We are tapped out for 2025 already. Please wait until 2026 to request donations and we will consider it then, but will have a yearly cap on what we can donate. We’re a small business and still very much in debt from building the bakery.

Does the plant wall attract pests?

Yes, it can. Most houseplants and gardens do, but we contract with a local pest control service to reduce pest issues, and we also inspect the plant wall weekly. You may see an ant in here. Please be understanding that the ant issue is much larger than the bakery can control. Ant colonies are widespread throughout Kitsap and our fellow business owners are also dealing with them the best they can.

Do you use any box mixes?

Yes, we do for some recipes. All of our gluten-free items are currently box mixes to reduce cross contamination in our small micro-bakery that has lots of gluten around. We also love the Ghirardelli brand and use their brownie mixes. Our puff pastry comes from a restaurant supply store, too.

How come some sandwiches or pastries are bigger than others?

We scratch make most items at the bakery. Though we try to be as consistent as possible, some things bake bigger or smaller at times. When our house-made sourdough slices are smaller, we add more filling to make up for it. All of our sandwiches are kept in a glass display case visible to you so you can see what you are getting before buying. Please view these prior to purchase so you can ensure you’re getting what you expect.

I didn’t like what I ordered, what are my options?

We ask that you let us know in the moment so we have the opportunity to make it right for you, whether it be a refund or replacement. We’re a brand-new small business and we make mistakes, but not giving us an opportunity to fix it before you write bad reviews isn’t fair to us either. We need time to adjust to the overwhelming amount of customers we’ve attracted, and grace to be humans who mess up sometimes. Your reviews can cause significant harm to any business, but especially a small one without all the resources big corporations have.

When I feel inconvenienced, can I be rude to your staff?

No, you may not. Please be kind. There’s nothing in the bakery worth being mean about. Please do not be mean to our staff. Some of our staff are just kids and this is their first job. Please be considerate of the impact you leave on others.
