Our Warrenton store is open weekdays from 6:30 am to 5 pm, and on Saturday from 7 am to 4 pm (Warrenton is closed on Sundays; Marshall is open every day). Store hours and directions are here.

We're on the road! Our Red Truck Bakery Cookbook is heading into a second printing, and that means a new book tour, signings, cooking demos and free cake. See our upcoming events here; we'll be in Florence AL, Fairfax VA, Asheville NC and other locations in 2019.

Signed Red Truck Bakery Cookbooks are available at our two stores—personalization is available for books that are to be picked up if given enough lead time. Please call the appropriate store to order for pick up. Tour and event info here. Read the incredible review from The Daily Beast here.

“The creation of a dream, the accidental serendipity, the making of a family at the Red Truck Bakery,
the hard work and the eventual realization of this community bedrock is literally baked into every page.”

— ANDREW ZIMMERN, traveler, chef, writer and teacher

We’re a rural bakery born in a farmhouse in the Virginia Piedmont hunt country 50 miles west of Washington, D.C., and we’re named after the truck we bought from fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger. We ship thousands of items nationwide each year: Oprah Winfrey’s O Magazine says we’re one of their favorite food sites, Travel + Leisure says we’re one of the best small-town bakeries in America and Condé Nast Traveler named us one of “America’s 13 Sweetest Bakery Destinations.” Even former President Obama has saluted our bakery's story and our pies. Our favorite accolades are from our customers—come see for yourself. Did we mention our moonshine cakes with hooch from the next county?

We fell in love with Lexington, Kentucky, and were inspired to make our Lexington bourbon cake with fresh ginger. It's gorgeous and delicious, and we give $5 from each online sale to the Southern Foodways Alliance. We'll ship this beauty anywhere in the United States here.

Send our famous moonshine cake to family and friends across the country; it was featured on the Today Show as one of Bon Appetit magazine’s favorite mail-order foods. See our Today Show segment here.
