Tim Michaels has always dreamed of having a bakery to call his own.  Old Mimosa Bakery and Sandwich is the product of his passion, imagination and determination.
     Tim had a food truck that was destroyed a couple of years ago in a very unfortunate vehicle accident. He had plans to build a new truck and would need a proper kitchen to have as his base. This was the original inspiration and reason for him to take on the building of a kitchen.
        Eventually Tim heard about a spot in the Fiddler's Run shopping center. He was able to check it out and could easily envision what he could do with the empty space. It would take some work, but Tim is no stranger to working hard. As time went on, the idea of using the space for more than just a commissary kitchen evolved into: Old Mimosa Bakery and Sandwich. Tim Michaels brought Catie Jackson on board and they decided to combine their skills to bring this new bakery to life.
     Catie Jackson has over a decade of pastry and restaurant experience. She has worked in the food and hospitality industry her entire working life; starting at 15 years old with her first job as a busgirl, in downtown Brevard, NC. Next, she moved on to working at Blue Ridge Bakery - the best bakery in Brevard.
      She graduated from Asheville- Buncombe Technical Community College with an Associate's Degree in Baking and Pastry in 2012. Eventually, she moved to Morganton and became the pastry chef for Root and Vine- the best restaurant in downtown Morganton. Now she is here working with Tim on the evolution of Old Mimosa Bakery and Sandwich!
      Tim Michaels is well known for his creativity and quality production of many residential kitchens. He made the beautiful counters attached outside on the front of the bakery. Old Mimosa Bakery and Sandwich is now able to provide a limited number of tables and seats outside! Customers can now enjoy their purchases on-site. Sit down with us for a couple minutes in the morning and drink your coffee, take a bite and a savor the peace before diving into another busy day.  
     Old Mimosa Bakery provides quality all house-made food and fresh brewed coffee to the people around Morganton and Fiddler's Run. Coffee to get their days started. Handmade buttery, flaky pastries or a warm and filling breakfast sandwich that will have them coming back for more!
