Half a While

Take a Pause at Half a While.

We’re a local husband-and-wife team raising two kids in the community. Inspired by a love for baking, we started Half A While to offer handcrafted, less-sweet cakes and freshly baked goods made with thoughtful ingredients.


We created a warm, unhurried space in Ardmore where you can slow down, enjoy something delicious, and have a moment of your own.


Half A While means a little less sugar, a little slower pace, and a little time for yourself. It’s why we started, and what we’ll always stay true to.
