Our Story

Not Just Another Store.
A New Standard for Fresh.

Tucked along North Donnelly Street, FRESH by The Loft was born from a simple belief: that exceptional food shouldn't require a long drive or a special occasion. We bring the craft of the artisan bakery and the thoughtfulness of a curated grocer to the heart of historic Mt Dora.

Every loaf is handcrafted. Every shelf is thoughtfully stocked. Whether you're grabbing dinner ingredients or treating yourself to something sweet, we make it easy to eat well — right here in town.
