Woodstone Bakery & Café is set to open at Fayetteville mixed-use development Trilith on Nov. 22.
Woodstone comes from Shellane Brown, the owner of Apple-Butter Bakery in Stone Mountain and the recent winner of the Food Network baking show “Halloween Wars.” The bakery’s name comes from the Lithonia street where Brown grew up.
The menu will feature custom cakes, a variety of cupcakes, pies and pastries and charcuterie. On the beverage side, Brown’s husband, Daniel, the co-owner of Gilly Brew Bar in Stone Mountain, will offer coffees and creative elixirs.
Woodstone will join several other food and beverage concepts at Trilith, including Honeysuckle Gelato, Barleygarden Kitchen and Craft Bar, Hop City and Amici Italian Café, with several more set to open in the coming months.
