Mother

Add to list

What you need to know

Mother is a bakery, cafe and natural wine spot on the South Slope from master baker Heidi Bass and Brett Watson, who runs the wine program. It grew out of a River Arts District bread and wine shop and now fills a former garage on Short Coxe Avenue. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand in 2026.

Local's Tip

There are no reservations, so plan on walking in, and ask what's fresh out of the oven that day.

What the locals say

Come early for loaves to take home, a daily quiche or a sandwich. Later in the day the menu turns to plates like hamachi crudo, risotto and prawns with grits, with a glass of natural wine alongside.
