🍞 THINLINE BAKESHOP — TODAY AT BILLIE JO’S

Farmhouse — Yecora Rojo wheat and Wren’s Abruzzi rye bring deep grain flavor, a tender crumb, and a crisp, deeply browned crust. The loaf that built Thinline.

Sprouted Einkorn — Ancient wheat with a naturally golden crumb, mellow sweetness, and rich, nutty flavor. Letting the grain do the talking.

Roasted Garlic Asiago — Turkey Red and Glenn wheat loaded with roasted garlic and Sartori Asiago. Sweet, savory garlic meets the cheese’s nutty bite.

Lemon Blueberry — Whole-grain spelt, apple-juice blueberries, and Meyer lemon zest, finished with lemon sanding sugar. Bright citrus, juicy berries, and a little sparkle on the crust.

Stop into Billie Jo’s and take home a loaf from Ryan.

Never rushed. Never anonymous. Real grains. Stupid good bread.

NEW MENU REVEAL: An Original Thought.

I didn’t invent the Cuban sandwich. I wouldn’t pretend I did.

When I created The Pickleback Cubano for Billie Jo’s, I started with a classic and asked what I could bring to it. The answer was my Tickle My Pickle sourdough, baked at Thinline with dill brine, pickles, cheddar, and Roth dill Havarti. That bread gives this sandwich a flavor and identity of its own.

When Billie Jo’s favorites start showing up elsewhere, it tells me we got something right. Anyone can borrow a classic. The work is in bringing something original to the table.

The Pickleback Cubano is lunch special at Billie Jo’s. Today $9.95 served with salad or fries.

I want to take a moment to address some of the rumors circulating about Billie Jo’s and to make sure everyone has the correct information moving forward.

The past four months have been difficult, but Billie Jo’s has remained open and serving our community. Our tax matters have been resolved, and our liquor license has now been reinstated.

Some of what has been repeated about our business and our family simply is not true. Rumors can be especially damaging to a locally owned business and the people behind it. If you ever have a question about Billie Jo’s, I hope you’ll feel comfortable asking me directly.

Starting Wednesday and moving forward, our hours are:

Tuesday through Saturday
11:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m.

Kitchen hours:
11:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m.
4:00–9:00 p.m.

The kitchen closes at 9:00 p.m.—not 8:30 or 9:15. If you arrive during our posted kitchen hours, you should expect to be welcomed with a smile and treated like we genuinely appreciate your business.

We are also aware that some customers previously heard grumbling, profanity, or things being thrown around in the kitchen. That behavior was unacceptable, and those issues have been addressed. It is not the atmosphere we want for our customers or our staff.

For more than 20 years, Billie Jo’s has been part of this community. Thinline Bakeshop also continues baking with the same care, quality, and standards our customers have come to expect.

To everyone who continued to walk through our doors, order food, buy bread, and offer a kind word during the past few months—thank you. Your support has meant more than you probably realize.

We’re still here, we’re fully open, and we would sincerely appreciate the opportunity to welcome you back.
