Three Twigs & Co began selling homemade baked goods in May 2015 at the Old Capitol Farmers Market. In January 2019, the business opened its first storefront. Owners Timothy and Emily Lewis have a love for food, hospitality and connecting with the community. “This was a great way to get to do the things we love every day,” Emily said. Three Twigs is a completely scratch-made bakery and brunch restaurant. “We wouldn’t serve our guests anything we wouldn’t serve our family at home.”

According to Emily, faith and strength have gotten them through the tough times. “We have been open nearly a decade, making it through so many trials, including a global pandemic,” she said. “Everything we do, we think of our team and our community. We pay well because we truly believe in doing everything to ensure those who keep our business going are taken care of. And we are constantly doing everything we can to be there for those in the Springfield community.”
