Broken Rocks Caf\u00e9 & Bakery has a background story that\u2019s as good as its food.<\/p>\n

Glen Grumbling, who owns the popular Wooster restaurant along with his wife Lisa, got a dishwashing job after college to help pay the bills. Lisa also worked in the restaurant industry. The rest, as they say, is history.<\/p>\n

\"Our\"Our \u00a0\"Our\"Our<\/p>\n

\u201cI was working at a restaurant washing dishes and eventually I got into bread,\u201d Grumbling said. \u201cThen I was doing the bread for that restaurant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Grumblings took a leap of faith and opened up Broken Rocks Caf\u00e9 & Bakery in Loudonville in 2000. The name came from a small town in Michigan, where they were married. That\u2019s also where Glen collected the wild grapes that he used to help perfect his sourdough breads.<\/p>\n

In 2007, they moved to their current location in Wooster, which is in the building that used to house Pierce\u2019s Sporting Goods. In 2014, they added the Rox Gastropub next door.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole building (in Loudonville) would fit in our current dining room,\u201d Glen said. \u201cIt was much smaller. We maxed out at 40 seats and didn\u2019t serve alcohol. There was no liquor license available there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Known for its European-style bread, Broken Rocks also features a wide variety of dining options from pizza to pasta, soups, salads and sandwiches. Meals are prepared fresh every day using local ingredients. There\u2019s also a full bar.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a little bit of everything,\u201d Glen said. \u201cIt\u2019s good service, good food and a good atmosphere. If you don\u2019t have all that, if you\u2019re not hitting all those notes, you\u2019re just not going to be in this very long.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Our\"Our \u00a0\"Our\"Our<\/p>\n

So what are Glen\u2019s favorite items on the menu?<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople ask me, \u2018What would you get?\u2019\u201d he said. \u201cI like to get the seasonal items that come and go. Right now, we\u2019re doing the asparagus pizza. Things like that just draw me back year after year. I like all the dishes, but the ones that I want to eat are the ones that are in season.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce recently named Broken Rocks its 2021 Small Business of the Year award winner (more than 15 employees).<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t always been easy to run a restaurant, and was especially hard during the pandemic shutdown. However, the Grumblings have a recipe for success that\u2019s stood the test of time. They work hard, treat customers and employees well, and know how to make great tasting food.<\/p>\n
