Bakes & Brews Where every bite has a story

A give-back project from Bakes & Brews

Bakes & Brews Community Shelf

Grown next door. Shared on our shelf.

Opening soon

The Bakes & Brews Community Shelf is a set of self-service racks in our café where neighbours share what they grow at home: veggies, herbs, greens and fruit. Other neighbours take it home. You can pay online, hold a packet and pay at our counter, or take a free one.

See how it works How we use Google sign-in

You don’t need an account to browse, hold or buy. Signing in is only for neighbours who want a profile or want to sell.

What the shelf is

A good tree gives more lemons than one family can use. The shelf gives that extra a place to go. Neighbours who grow bring packets to our café and put them on a rack. Neighbours who are looking find them there, or on the shelf app first.

How it works

If you’re looking

  1. Pick your shelfSee what neighbours brought in. No account needed.
  2. Choose how to payPay online, or hold one packet and pay at our counter. For a free item, just take one or hold one.
  3. Get your codeIf you hold, we show a pickup code on screen and email it to you. Holds last until closing on the day you pick.
  4. Take it from the rackEvery item tells you which rack it’s on. Holding? Show your code at the counter.

If you grow

  1. Sign inUse Google or Facebook, then set up your profile.
  2. Apply onceTell us what you grow. Café staff approve each new seller.
  3. Post your harvestAdd the item, the price (or Free) and how many packets. We check every post.
  4. Place it and get paidBring it to the café, put it on a rack and tap which one. We pay you by Zelle or cash.

No bags or labels? Bring it loose. We’ll help you pack it at the counter.

How we use Google sign-in

Browsing the shelf, holding a packet and buying one need no account. Signing in with Google (or Facebook) is only for neighbours who want a profile or want to sell on the shelf.

What we receive from Google

Only your name, your email address and your profile photo. We ask Google for the basic sign-in scopes and nothing more:

  • openid
  • email
  • profile

What we use it for

  • To create your Community Shelf account and sign you in.
  • If you sell, to show your name (a first name is fine) and photo on your seller page. You can upload your own photo. If you don’t, we use your Google photo.
  • To send the emails you ask for, like updates on your holds, your seller request and your posts.

What we never do

  • We don’t access your contacts, Gmail, Drive, calendar or anything else in your Google account.
  • We never post anything to your accounts.
  • We never sell your data or use it for ads.
  • We don’t use Google user data to train AI models, and we never use it to make AI-generated images or content.

Who can see it

Your email address and phone number are never shown publicly. Only the café staff who run the shelf can see them, for example when they review your seller request or a hold, so they can reach you.

Our use of information we receive from Google follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Our privacy policy covers everything we collect and why. You can ask us to delete your account and data at any time.
