OOn the corner of Railroad and Main streets, there’s a place where iced tea and good conversations are as sweet as the crème brûlée that’s baked weekly in-house.

For Main Street Bakery co-owner Darren Urban, that’s the best part of the job: the connections he makes with his patrons.

“We’ve made a lot of friends since we’ve opened this business,” he said.

Darren and his wife Christy, a lifelong Hartselle resident, opened the bakery at the end of 2022 – the same weekend the annual Hartselle Christmas Parade packed hundreds of people downtown.
