Oxfordian: The Jawnery: A Taste of Creativity and Community

Contributing Writer
The Jawnery is more than just a bakery—it's a creative venture fueled by passion, community, and the pursuit of pure, high-quality baked goods. Cassidy Taylor’s dream took off in 2022, and by February 2023, she signed a lease, giving her just two months to plan, practice, and execute before going live—marking the start of a delicious journey.
At the heart of it all is a mother-daughter duo: Cassidy, the founder, a culinary artist with a knack for innovation, and her mother, Sara, the mastermind behind the business’s signature pie fillings, howlers, and fruit-forward creations.
Born out of a lifelong love for creativity—whether through photography, art, or baking—The Jawnery is a true reflection of Cassidy's culinary passion. Her training at Cook Street Culinary School in Denver, CO, provided the technical foundation and freedom to experiment, ultimately inspiring a shift from marketing to a hands-on, transparent approach to food. Rejecting artificial flavors and preservatives, The Jawnery is committed to using as many local ingredients as possible, ensuring that every bite is pure, delicious, and unmistakably “Jawnery.”
Famous for their croissants—whether plain, asiago, chocolate, or the indulgent morning bun—the bakery also keeps customers on their toes with a rotating selection of baked goods. Beyond their signature staples of bread, biscuits, and howlers, customer feedback plays a huge role in their evolving menu.
Community has been the backbone of The Jawnery’s success. Their journey began at the Oxford Farmer’s Market, where they built strong relationships with customers and fellow business owners. This local support has driven their growth, earning them recognition through the Chamber’s Business Improvement Grant. Christine Grove and the broader Oxford community have been instrumental in their expansion, and partnerships—like their collaboration with Moore Meats to repurpose food waste—exemplify their commitment to sustainability.
Looking ahead, The Jawnery has big plans. Their next milestone is securing a storefront, establishing deeper roots in the Oxford area, and creating a space to further expand their offerings. With a vision for growth and a deep love for their craft, they are committed to bringing even more mouthwatering creations to their loyal customers.
