After a year-long buildout, Live Bakery & Bar soft opened last week and officially opened on Tuesday.

Owned by Maria Ferra, her son John and daughter-in-law Madison, the bakery picks up off of the farmers market concept Maria's Bakery. John Ferra runs the bar next door, now connected. The bakery serves fresh-baked breads, cannoli, apple strudel, puff pastry, pizza and calzones.

But the menu is subject to change: it depends on what Maria Ferra happens to bake that morning.

"Today she has cheesecake on the menu," Madison Ferra said. "Whatever she feels like that day. The menu is definitely subject to change."

Maria's Bakery previously set up at markets in Flagler, Marineland, the St. Augustine Amphitheater and Nocatee.

I just tried their guava puff pastry - it was excellent, and large considering it was only $2. For breakfast they have egg and cheese on brioche or in a pita for $5, lunch is mainly salads, sandwiches or pizza. Definitely worth trying!
