seasonally inspired cuisine
best ingredients + fine technique + comfort = urban rustic
Welcome to the Bordentown Dining Revolution.
A LOCAL DESTINATION
HoopHouse Bakery + Café has been making news in the local food scene since their opening in August 2020. The kitchen highlights seasonal produce from a network of NJ farmers, and features handmade products from small-batch makers. The cuisine is eclectic, yet familiar and approachable, inspired by the Garden State and its diverse international influences.
Eat Together
Every plate achieves that elusive, cuisine-defining balance of sweet, salty, and savory — food that truly puts flavor first.
sourdough life
We believe the best things in food are natural, and maintaining our starter ‘family’ allows us to bring high quality sourdough baked goods to southern New Jersey. Clancy, Betty, and Angus work hard to make our products tastier, more nutritious, and highly digestible!
HoopHouse proudly uses only naturally leavened doughs to craft everything from bagels, to croissants, to stunning hearth breads. You can find our baked goods in house, or at local farm markets throughout the spring, summer and fall.

A top graduate of The Culinary Institute of America (NY), Chef Christine’s vision of urban rustic cuisine defines the HoopHouse menu. Her diverse culinary background and intense studies of international cuisine are showcased in everything from the house-made sausages and pates, to uniquely flavorful noodle bowls, pickled vegetables, and all food in between. Inspiration can be seen in a wide assortment of sourdough pastries, the casual fine dining dinner menu, her famous brunch menu, and myriads of specials that change seasonally.
