Episode 103 with Nancy and Keith Kouris, Owners of Blue Duck Bakery Café

Today, we sit down with Nancy and Keith Kouris, the husband-and-wife team behind the Blue Duck Bakery Café. They share their journey from growing up on Long Island to building a business together, each bringing their own passion and expertise to the bakery. We’ll hear about their early days—how they met, their time in school, and how a simple bread delivery route with Bellacicco’s set them on the path to opening their own bakery. From taking over a deli to overcoming countless obstacles, they eventually launched Blue Duck Bakery in Southampton, expanding to multiple locations on the East End, including their current spots in Southold and Greenport. We dive into the challenges and rewards of running a bakery and what keeps them inspired as they continue to serve the North Fork community. Join us for a conversation about dedication, craftsmanship, and the love baked into every loaf.
