About Us
We use only the freshest, local, in-season ingredients.
That means the sky is the limit when it comes to the flavors and colors we can create for you. Together, we’ll make sure that all of our sweet treats meet exactly what you and your loved ones are looking for.
I started Matryoshka’s Bakery in 2019 in my family’s kitchen in St. George, where I became especially focused on perfecting the beautiful almond flour based French macarons. What began as a small passion project quickly grew into a business, with my treats sold through online orders and in a handful of local cafes and restaurants.
Today, Matryoshka’s calls South Burlington home, sharing a space with a second location of Hinesburg’s Good Times Café. The café and bakery are sister businesses, co-owned by myself and my husband, Travis Counter. I oversee the bakery, while Travis serves as chef-manager for both cafés. Together, we opened our newest location (which serves as the bakery headquarters) in late March. It’s located in the rear of the former Shelburne Road Uno Pizzeria & Grill, just behind the new NBT Bank branch.
"Matryoshka” is a Russian Nesting Doll. It represents family. The outermost doll is the mother in her traditional dress. The inner dolls are her children. With my three little ones, the name Matryoshka’s Bakery spoke to me, our family, and our kitchen—where everything is made with love.
