Everything seems to be falling into place for Flour Girls Baking Company owner Jill Houck.

Houck, a Marion resident, has moved her specialty baking company to the former Narragansett Star Café on Route 6 in Fairhaven. The move was a matter of being in the right place at the right time, she said.

“I had been in here before and I just think it has such a cool vibe,” she said. “It’s so cozy, so warm, and has such a great coffee shop feel. It makes me want to sit down with my computer and do work.”

Having operated Flour Girls from a rented kitchen at How on Earth in Mattapoisett since 2007, Houck said she was ready for a new challenge.

“It’s always been at the back of my brain to have my own place. I just thought maybe it’s time to do this,” Houck said.

Getting the café in shape in time for the grand opening was tough, especially given that the Flour Girls are really just one girl - Houck.

“It was a different space than we ever had,” she said. “But, the people of Fairhaven have been so welcoming and the town was awesome with getting all of the permits ready. It’s hard to be a newbie in a community because people know what they like, but it’s been great.”

Before she started Flour Girls, Houck taught Spanish at Tabor Academy. Wanting to spend more time with her kids, Houck said she changed careers and turned to her love of baking.

Last year, Flour Girls went mobile. Houck began selling baked goods all over southeastern Massachusetts and in Providence from “the Sweet Truck,” a converted Chevrolet van.

“The truck has been great,” Houck said. “It’s been a lot of fun.”

In fact, Flour Girls will not part with the truck anytime soon.

"The truck is an all-year truck," Houck said.

Since the company launched in 2007, the menu has expanded to include soups and entrees.

“The recipes are old family recipes and some that I played with and made my own. I also begged, borrowed, and stole a lot of them,” Houck said.

As for the future, Houck said, “I’d like to be here. This is a great spot. People are dying for something homemade.”
