This is the story of a maker and a baker.
A baker who started her career in the arts at Cranbrook, then Paris, but later found home and community in an unassuming storefront in Katonah NY.
A baker who married a maker, who would eventually give up his day job in advertising, to become a shelf-building, crowdsourcing, let’s-do-this kind of full time partner in that very same shop.
Our Story
LMNOP began in the home of Anne and Jesse Mayhew. Many nights they would tuck their twins into bed, then load fragrant loaves into the oven. Soon the scent would lure them from their cozy rooms, and tiny faces would peek around the kitchen door, eager to inhale the warm buttery bread.
Today, the allure of homemade bread beckons souls far beyond their local neighborhood. At LMNOP you’ll find salutations to the slow baking traditions of the past, inspirations from the tastes and smells from their travels from Antwerp to Sardinia to Kyoto, and innovations that can be sampled daily in their fresh-out- of-the-oven mouthwatering breads, pastries and sandwiches.
Most of all, you’ll feel Anne and Jesse’s passion for bringing good food and good friends together. This makes LMNOP more than a bakery… it has become an essential hub of the Katonah community.

Quality
We strive at LMNOP to source local, supporting local organic growers, millers, and makers. Whether grain, coffee, produce, wine, beer, or kombucha, we seek out the best available for our customers.
Connection
Our bakery, like many in the history of bakeries, resides in the center of town. LMNOP aims to serve our town by facilitating connection, providing both excellent service to our customers, and a meeting spot for connection and conversation.
Innovation
Within the traditional format of a bakery/coffee shop, we challenge our team to push their techniques and taste buds to create new and innovative products with delightful flavor combinations.
Our Partners
We can’t help but get emotional about bread. And while to the untrained eye it seems that bread simply comes out of the bakery, it actually starts as seedlings on a farm. We are relentlessly choosy about the flour we use and where it comes from. Below is a list of our trusted partners. The care they take in growing, harvesting and advocating for best practices is just as responsible for LMNOP’s mouthwatering bread as the love and creativity that comes from our team.
