Craving Something Fresh Today?
From golden sourdough loaves to pantry staples you actually recognize the ingredients of — we keep Smithfield stocked, baked, and smiling.
Baked with Heart,
Stocked with Purpose
The Fresh Monkee started with a simple idea: what if your neighborhood bakery and grocery store actually felt like a place you'd want to linger? Not a rush-in, grab-and-go kind of spot — but a warm, welcoming corner of Smithfield where the bread is still warm and the shelves are thoughtfully stocked.
We bake small batches every morning. We pick our pantry items the way you would — reading labels, asking questions, and saying no to anything that doesn't meet our standard. The result? A shop that feels less like a store and more like something the community built together.
From Our Oven
to Your Table
Whether you need a loaf for dinner or a full pantry restock, we've got you covered.
Artisan Breads
Sourdough, ciabatta, multigrain, and seasonal loaves — baked fresh every morning and ready by midday.
Pastries & Sweets
Croissants, danishes, muffins, and daily specials that make the morning worth waking up for.
Grocery & Pantry
Pantry essentials, specialty oils, international ingredients, and the items you didn't know you needed until you saw them.
Dairy & Refrigerated
Fresh dairy, cheeses, prepared foods, and refrigerated staples — all sourced with quality in mind.
Beverages
Coffee, juices, plant milks, and cold drinks to pair with your pastry or fuel your afternoon.
Fresh Produce
Seasonal fruits and vegetables, picked for flavor and freshness — because groceries should taste like something.
Not Just a Store.
A Neighborhood Habit.
There are plenty of places to grab a loaf somewhere. Here's what makes us different.
Baked the Same Day
Nothing sits overnight. If it's on the shelf, it came out of the oven that morning — and we'll tell you what time.
Ingredients You Can Say
We read every label before it hits our shelves. No unpronounceable additives, no mystery powders — just real food.
Actually Local
We're on Cedar Swamp Road, not in a corporate spreadsheet. Your regulars know your name and your order.
Everything Under One Roof
Bread, groceries, dairy, produce, drinks — one stop that doesn't feel like a compromise between a bakery and a market.
Come Say Hi
We're right here in Smithfield — easy to find, easy to remember, impossible to forget once you've had our bread.
