Our Story

Rooted in Oxford,
shaped by patience

Crosstown Sips began with a simple conviction: that the best food comes from people who care about the process. We are not a factory. We are a kitchen—where bread rises slowly, where pastries are folded by hand, and where every item on our shelves has been chosen with intention.

Located on University Avenue, we have become a quiet anchor for our neighbors—students, families, and long-time residents who return again and again for the same reasons: consistent quality, genuine hospitality, and a space that feels like home.

Our bakers arrive before dawn. Our grocers source from regional farms and small producers. Every afternoon, the shop smells like something worth coming back for.

The Craft

What we refuse to compromise on

Slow Fermentation

Our dough rests for 18 to 24 hours. No shortcuts. No improvers. Just time, flour, water, and salt.

Local Sourcing

We partner with Mississippi farms and regional producers whenever possible—because great ingredients start at the source.

Made with Care

Every item is handled by hand—from mixing to shaping to packing. We treat each one as if it were for our own table.

Community First

We hire locally, give back locally, and believe a business thrives only when its neighborhood thrives with it.
