How Sixteen Mill Bakeshop Scales Wholesale Deliveries Across NYC with Lalamove

When Sixteen Mill Bakeshop began expanding its wholesale business across New York City, reliable delivery quickly became essential. With fresh baked goods heading to retail partners several times a week, the small team needed a delivery solution that was fast, flexible, and easy to manage. By partnering with Lalamove, the family-run bakery has been able to simplify logistics, reduce delivery costs, and stay focused on what they do best: baking.

About Sixteen Mill Bakeshop

Sixteen Mill Bakeshop is a family-run bakery founded by Talia Tutak and her husband, Desi. Known for its gluten-free, plant-based, and refined sugar-free baking, the bakery has built a loyal following for its thoughtful ingredients and creative flavor pairings, including seeded sourdough bread, black amber plum cakes, and soba-cha glaze donuts. Talia’s approach combines wholesome ingredients with innovative baking methods, resulting in baked goods that are both nourishing and deeply flavorful.

The Challenge

Fresh baked goods come with tight timelines. For Sixteen Mill, getting products to retail partners across New York City requires reliable, well-coordinated deliveries several times a week.

As the bakery expanded its wholesale relationships, coordinating these deliveries became more complex. Multi-stop routes and early morning schedules meant that any delays or damaged goods could disrupt the entire day’s operations.

For a small team focused on baking and running a storefront, managing logistics internally at this scale was too time intensive.

“As a small, family-run bakery, reliable delivery is absolutely essential to our daily operations,” says owner Talia Tutak. “When you’re baking fresh products every day and working with tight schedules, knowing that deliveries can be handled quickly and professionally makes a huge difference.”

The Solution

Since February 2026, Sixteen Mill Bakeshop has partnered with Lalamove to streamline its wholesale deliveries throughout New York City.

The bakery regularly uses Lalamove for multi-stop delivery runs to retail partners across Brooklyn and Manhattan. With an easy booking process, fast driver matching, and instant pricing, the team can coordinate several deliveries in a single route.

“What we really appreciate about Lalamove is how straightforward and responsive the service is,” Talia says. “The drivers are generally very helpful and understanding that they’re transporting delicate baked goods.”

Sixteen Mill has also benefited from Lalamove’s responsive support as orders continue to grow.

“Our assigned sales representative has always been supportive and quick to assist whenever we’ve had questions,” Talia adds.

The Results

With Lalamove handling wholesale logistics, Sixteen Mill has been able to simplify deliveries while continuing to expand across New York City. The bakery now completes several multi-stop delivery runs each week to retail partners across the city, ensuring fresh baked goods arrive safely and on time while benefiting from transparent pricing that helps keep delivery costs manageable.

“Cost-wise, we’ve been able to save roughly $20 to $30 per delivery compared to other courier options,” says Talia. “That adds up significantly over the course of a month for a small business like ours.”

Beyond the financial savings, Lalamove also helps the bakery’s team reclaim valuable time.

“As a busy business owner, Lalamove has given me back something extremely valuable: peace of mind and time,” Talia explains. “Instead of worrying about coordinating deliveries myself, I can focus on production, our team, and our customers.”

The flexibility of the platform also allows Sixteen Mill to scale deliveries according to demand.

“It allows us to scale our deliveries more easily when things get busy,” she says. “Compared to other delivery services we’ve tried, Lalamove feels much more flexible and efficient. The booking process is simple, the pricing is transparent, and the drivers arrive quickly.”

For a bakery where freshness and timing matter, dependable delivery is essential.

“That reliability is incredibly important when you’re running a bakery where timing matters,” Talia says. “Overall, Lalamove has been a really helpful partner in supporting our day-to-day operations.”
