Song & Sourdough: Fresh Bread and Local Music
Song & Sourdough: Fresh Bread and Local Music in Bellevue
Bellevue has a new kind of business that blends food, art, and community in a way that feels uniquely local. Song & Sourdough, founded by songwriters Emily and Mandi, is more than just a bread business—it’s a creative project that pairs fresh sourdough loaves with the pursuit of music.
What began as a hobby quickly grew into a weekly tradition, and now Bellevue neighbors can order freshly baked sourdough while also supporting two local artists.
The Story Behind Song & Sourdough
Emily and Mandi never set out to become bakers. As working songwriters, their days were filled with writing, rehearsing, and recording. But in between music sessions, they experimented with sourdough as a way to unwind.
Friends and neighbors tasted their bread and encouraged them to share it more widely. Before long, Friday pickups and deliveries became part of their weekly rhythm. Guitars were strummed while dough rose, and bread came out of the oven alongside fresh lyrics.
That blend of passions gave life to Song & Sourdough, a business where Bellevue residents can enjoy both fresh bread and the knowledge that their purchase helps sustain local music.
Why Sourdough?
Sourdough has a charm all its own. Unlike packaged grocery-store bread, it requires patience, care, and a living starter.
Neighbors who buy from Song & Sourdough often share why they keep coming back:
Flavor – A rich, tangy taste that’s hard to replicate.
Texture – A crisp crust with a soft, airy inside.
Simple Ingredients – Just flour, water, salt, and time.
Health Benefits – Naturally fermented, easier to digest, and full of good bacteria.
It’s bread that elevates everyday meals, from avocado toast to grilled cheese, and transforms a Friday into something special.
How Song & Sourdough Works
Emily and Mandi have designed the process to be simple for Bellevue neighbors:
Order by Monday Night – Customers place their orders through the Song & Sourdough online shop.
Fresh Baking on Fridays – Loaves are prepared and baked from scratch.
Pickup or Delivery in Bellevue – Customers can stop by for pickup or choose convenient delivery.
It’s a straightforward system that brings homemade bread into homes across Bellevue every week.
Supporting Local Songwriters
What makes Song & Sourdough truly unique is its purpose. Proceeds from each loaf go toward supporting Emily and Mandi’s songwriting careers.
For them, sourdough isn’t just food—it’s fuel for creativity. By purchasing bread, neighbors aren’t only enjoying a fresh-baked treat; they’re directly supporting local music and the dream of two artists who call Bellevue home.
Why Choose Song & Sourdough Over Grocery Store Bread?
Plenty of bread options exist in stores, but customers often say they prefer Song & Sourdough for reasons beyond flavor:
Freshness – Every loaf is baked the same day.
Local Impact – Purchases support Bellevue artists directly.
Authenticity – Each loaf is hand-crafted, not factory-made.
Connection – Customers know who is behind their food and their music.
It’s bread with a story—and that makes each slice feel meaningful.

“Just wanted to shout out a couple ladies I know in Bellevue who started Song and Sourdough. They make EXCELLENT homemade sourdough bread that can be picked up in the area or delivered. I can personally vouch that the classic sourdough, blueberry, and pumpkin spice loaves are all fantastic. I even made a grilled cheese slider from one of their mini loaves.”
