There’s a new bakery in Fredericksburg — but it’s not your typical dog-friendly bakery. At Hound & Crumb Dog Bakery + Café, the dog is the customer. The new spot officially opens on Saturday, November 14.
Don’t expect to find coffee and sandwiches on the menu here. Instead, the items at Hound & Crumb are made by the bakery’s founder and co-chef Adia Shanee. The menu features housemade broths, café bowls, and scratch-made frozen treats. But not for humans — all made with fresh, pet-friendly ingredients for the canine customer.
Focused on Canine Nutrition
“Hound & Crumb was born from my love of food, my extensive background in canine behavior and nutrition, and my desire to create a place where dogs are truly the customers,” says Shanee, a classically trained chef with a background in canine nutrition. “I wanted to create a dog-forward culinary experience inspired by what dogs genuinely enjoy, including the aromas, textures, flavors, and ingredients that intrigue their senses. Rather than simply recreating human desserts for dogs, I’ve developed familiar culinary favorites with dogs in mind.”
