These are my top three predictions on what is going to be big in the bakery world in 2027 best on what I can already see trending where I am. Good drip coffee. There is a very large demand for good coffee, not crappy diner coffee. And I don't mean espresso, or Americano, or a tier latte if you invest in your coffee program. We are already seeing really good results with this. Number two is grab and go meals that are better than the average grocery store deli counter. And who better than a bakery? Because you know what? We've got good bread. The ovens are already on. It's pretty easy then for me to bake some manicotti with homemade ricotta, and it's pretty straightforward for us to make meatballs and confetti rice or to make chicken pot pies with pastry and cream with chicken filling. Of course, you have to poach the chicken first. It's really lovely. People will get in their cars and drive to your bakery to pick up these sorts of meals. They do it here. I'm in a tiny town. It'll work where you are. And third, people want a place where they can go for dessert, not just go and get a donut, not just go and get a scone, and not just go and get a cup of coffee. People want a dessert location. So if you had cakes available by the slice or you had individual boutique, tiny, cute desserts, afternoon, early evening, I think you would see an upswing there too. These are my predictions for 2027. What do you think?
