Our Story

From the beginning

From a Dream to DeLand's Premier Catering Experience.

BakeChop started in Artisan Alley over a decade ago. Taylor Bass wanted to build a place that served the best burger. Her partner Stevie was a baker who wanted a bakery of her own. Instead of picking one, they built both under one roof.

That is still who we are. A kitchen that takes burgers as seriously as pastry, and does not cut corners on either one.

Our events team works out of a dedicated kitchen at Venue 142, with its own crew focused entirely on catering and events. Whether it's an intimate dinner for 20 or a full scale wedding for 300 the same team shows up every time. Prepared, present, and proud of the work. We are based in Downtown DeLand, and we bring that hometown care to every event we cater, wherever it happens to be.

What We Do Today

What started as one restaurant grew into something bigger. Today BakeChop Co. is five concepts built around the same idea. BakeChop, our original artisan kitchen. Hunters & Gatherers, our casual fine dining spot. Reefers Rolls & Bowls, our food truck outside Cafe DaVinci. Venue 142, a historic event space in the heart of Downtown DeLand. And BakeChop Catering & Events, bringing that same scratch made food to weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations across Central Florida. Different menus, different rooms, same mindset. Everything made from scratch, with love.
