Memphis · Est. South Cooper
Every loaf at Cooper House Project is shaped by patience — long ferments, honest ingredients, and a commitment to flavor that refuses to compromise.
Our Story
Cooper House Project started with a single question: what happens when you stop rushing bread? The answer is a loaf with depth — a crust that cracks, a crumb that holds air, a flavor that lingers.
We bake on South Cooper Street in Memphis using ingredients we can name and processes we can explain. No shortcuts. No industrial accelerants. Just flour, water, salt, and time — the way bread was meant to be made.
Beyond the oven, our grocery section is curated the same way — with the same attention to origin, craft, and taste. Every item on our shelves earns its place.
What We Make
From the morning oven to the pantry shelf — every item is chosen or crafted with the same standard.
Sourdough, country loaves, and shaped goods — all leavened naturally and baked to a crust that speaks for itself.

The Craft
Our process is simple because good bread doesn't need complication. We start with locally milled flour, filtered water, sea salt, and a starter we've tended for years.
The dough rests. It ferments. It develops flavor that no accelerator can replicate. We score, we proof, we bake — and we never rush the steps that matter.
We let the dough decide the schedule, not the clock. Patience is our primary ingredient.
Every component is sourced with care. If we can't trace it, it doesn't cross our threshold.
We're neighbors first. Every loaf sold supports a local operation that cares about this street.
