À propos de ce contenu audio

This week on The SPOAKL Podcast, I’m joined by James Reed of Rustic Nosh (Belmont, CA) — the maker behind the legendary Rustic Almond Coffee Cake with a Bay Area legacy that’s been quietly loved for decades.

James shares how this recipe was created in 1969 in a Sunset District kitchen, how it became an “underground” favorite gifted to friends and family (never sold), and what it took to bring it above ground — one home-kitchen bake day, one pickup window, and one loyal customer at a time.

We talk about:

  • Growing up in a multi-generation San Francisco food family

  • Why this cake is “unlike any coffee cake” (darker crumb, incredibly moist, almond glaze)

  • The realities of launching a cottage food business (permits, packaging, workflow, scaling)

  • How community and storytelling can turn one product into something bigger
