BARB’S BAKERY HISTORY

A popular morning meet-up spot and home to good old-fashioned donuts, Barb’s Bakery has been a staple of the Northport community for decades, and now, it’s under new management. In the summer of 2021, Margo and David Millard purchased the bakery from Barb and Jerry Holcomb in order to keep the bakery’s small-town tradition alive and operating for locals and tourists alike. Having grown up in Northport, David felt a special connection to the establishment, so when it came up for sale, he and Margo made the jump into the realm of business owners. David, Margo, and David’s brother Tyler (who serves as head baker) all closely trained with Barb to maintain the bakery’s integrity. This month marks the Millards’ second anniversary of owning Barb’s Bakery, and Margo happily provided some behind-the-scenes details.

“Our world-famous cinnamon twists are definitely the fan favorite! We have a unique blend of spices and other special ingredients we use for this flaky cinnamon pastry. They dip great in coffee, and I love to buy a few extra to bring home and warm up and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.”
