Our Story

A bakery built on
conviction, not
convention

Grand Brew and Sweets started with a simple belief: that the best bread, pastries, and sweets shouldn't require a trip to Des Moines. They should arrive at your table fresh, local, and made by people who actually care about the craft.

Located on South Grand Street in downtown Chariton, we've spent years perfecting recipes that honor traditional techniques while pushing pastries, breads, and confections to something worth writing home about.

Every loaf is hand-shaped. Every batch is small. And every customer who walks through our door is treated like a neighbor — because that's exactly who they are.
