Specialty Pastries. Local Art.
First Friday.
First Fridays are one of the best times to experience the Crossroads. It’s when the neighborhood fills with art, energy, and people moving between galleries, studios, shops, and local businesses. At Morning Rounds, we’re joining that rhythm with specialty pastries, featured artists, and a chance to experience the bakery in a fresh way.
For our upcoming First Friday, we’ll be serving two specialty pastries for the evening:
- the Key Lime Pie Croissant
- and the All-American Hot Dog Croissant
We’ll also be featuring work by Kathrina Bossman, a printmaker with a studio in the West Bottoms whose woodblock reduction prints are known for their detailed layers of color. The artwork will be displayed at Morning Rounds Bakery throughout the month of July.
Whether you’re already out exploring the neighborhood or looking for a reason to stop by, First Friday at Morning Rounds is a chance to enjoy something thoughtful, local, and a little more special than the usual evening stop.

Goodness grows in the moments we share.
When people gather, support local artists, care about their neighborhood, and make space for connection, a community becomes something stronger. That spirit is part of what First Friday means to us, and part of what Morning Rounds hopes to add to it.
