Alpena's Neighborhood Bakery & Grocery
From fresh-baked breads and pastries to the everyday groceries your family needs — The Octagon is your stop on US-23 North, built for the community that drives through it every day.
What We Offer
Sourdough, sandwich loaves, rolls, and specialty breads baked daily. Nothing beats the smell of real bread warming up the shop in the morning.
Cinnamon rolls, muffins, cookies, and seasonal treats. Stop by for a quick coffee and something sweet — or pack a box for the road.
Pantry staples, snacks, beverages, and household essentials. The kind of store where you grab what you need without hunting through aisles.
Curated picks from regional producers and unique finds you won't see at the big-box stores. Something different every week.
About The Octagon
The Octagon sits right off US-23 North in Alpena — the kind of spot where you pull in without planning to, and leave with exactly what you needed and then some. We're part bakery, part grocery, and entirely neighborhood.
We believe the best shops are the ones people actually want to walk into. That means good bread, honest prices, and a counter where someone knows your name. Whether you're a regular or just passing through, we're glad you're here.
