About Lazy Lady Baking Co.

Lazy Lady Baking Company started as a dream in the Outer Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco. That dream grew into reality when owner and baker Maren Close moved back to her home town of Johnson City in the mountains of East Tennessee.

Lazy Lady is a small scale, scratch made artisan bakeshop specializing in cakes, pies, breads, and sweet and savory pastries.

Maren is inspired by her heritage and long line of great family cooks, and her professional experience on the west coast. She also takes inspiration from her Appalachian surroundings, using local ingredients from independent farmers and producers in surprising ways, pairing sweet with savory and fruits with different herbs, spices, and flours.

Lazy Lady Baking Co. opened a retail bakery and cafe in the fall of 2022. We also provide pastries to a variety of wholesale clients throughout Johnson City, Jonesborough, and Bluff City.
