Our Story

Lucy’s began in the summer of 2016 as a wholesale-only muffin business—now known as Lou’s Bakery. Our mission was simple: to bring delicious, nutritious food to our community.

One year and hundreds of muffins (and Breakfast Cookies!) later, a beloved pocket-sized gourmet food shop went up for sale. On August 1, 2017, Lucy’s Market was born.

Since then, we’ve continued to grow—expanding our space, our team, and our offerings. But one thing has stayed the same: our commitment to sourcing and serving food, bread, cheese, treats, and pantry goods that are as wholesome and local as possible.

Today, you can find us at 338 Homestead Lane in Soldotna, Alaska—in the same building as River City Books. We hope to see you soon!

Our daily offerings include a variety of long-fermented traditional sourdoughs, hearty sandwich bread, and crusty yet pillowy french bread. We keep ourselves entertained with rotating monthly petite sourdoughs in fun flavors, and sourdough croissants every Tuesday and Friday. Our baker is always working up new recipes, mastering new techniques, and keeping Marlis (our sourdough starter) in a cooperative mood.

Discover a world of cheese at our counter, where global favorites meet exceptional American artisan-makers. Don’t miss our curated cured meats!
Have a particular cheese in mind or need pairing advice for a new favorite wine? Dalisha, our cheesemonger, is happy to guide you—and taste along the way.

Lucy’s features an ever-growing menu of fresh and nutritious food items prepared daily, and easy to grab even on a short lunch break. We pride ourselves in using the highest quality ingredients we can find. This means we buy organic whenever possible, and buy local whenever possible. We’re committed to the idea that food should not only taste good, but also be good.

We focus on items to pair with your artisan cheeses and meats. Products that will inspire and build wonderful charcuterie boards. Along with highlighting local Alaskan made finds. Need help with pairing? Just ask our staff!
