Irwin's Neighborhood Bakery and Cafe opened its doors in 2000, occupying the same space that's been a family-owned business serving the Wallingford neighborhood since 1923. Originally Irwin's Grocery and Market, the Irwin's legacy continued with the great-granddaughter of the original Irwin, Pastry Chef Shannon Mattila, who opened Irwin's as a Bakery and Cafe in 2000 and is the creative force behind the pastry recipes still used today at Irwin's.
Baker/Entrepreneur Linda Fecher bought Irwin's in 2006. Irwin's had become Linda's family's local coffee shop, and here Linda became friends with Shannon, eventually becoming involved with the running of the business. When Linda learned that Shannon was considering selling the Bakery/Cafe, she jumped at the chance.

Report
Linda began her career in the restaurant industry on the other side of the counter, waiting tables at a busy local restaurant. A full-time mom with a business degree and a fanatical home-baker, Linda had been trying on different "hats" in her quest for the truly satisfying career. Waiting tables marked a turning point for Linda; it was here she discovered she had a knack, and a love, for hospitality.
