What We Offer

Fresh from the oven.
Everyday from the shelf.

Bakery

Fresh-Baked Bread

Sourdough, sandwich loaves, rolls, and specialty breads baked daily. Nothing beats the smell of real bread warming up the shop in the morning.

Bakery

Pastries & Sweets

Cinnamon rolls, muffins, cookies, and seasonal treats. Stop by for a quick coffee and something sweet — or pack a box for the road.

Grocery

Everyday Groceries

Pantry staples, snacks, beverages, and household essentials. The kind of store where you grab what you need without hunting through aisles.

Specialty

Local & Specialty Items

Curated picks from regional producers and unique finds you won't see at the big-box stores. Something different every week.

About The Octagon

A place that feels
like home base.

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.
