Sub Rosa is a James Beard nominated bakery owned by siblings Evrim and Evin Dogu at 620 N. 25th St.

The bakery regularly draws lines on the weekends for its breads, croissants and pastries. It opened in 2012 and is located in a 100-year-old building in Church Hill. Sub Rosa suffered another fire in 2013, afterwards the community pitched in for a fundraising campaign.

Sub Rosa specializes in stone-milling its own grain for flour and baking in a wood-fired oven. Sub Rosa was a semi-finalist for Outstanding Baker for the James Beard awards from 2017 to 2020.
