Melanie Hackman, Co-Founder, aioli Sour Dough Bakery & Café
Melanie Hackman is the co-founder of aioli Sour Dough Bakery & Café, the Michelin Bib Gourmand-recognized West Palm Beach staple where guests are greeted by name and hospitality is personal and consistent. With a deep understanding of people and sensory intuition (especially when it comes to flavor, aroma and balance), Hackman plays a quiet but essential role in guiding the guest experience and the café’s evolving menu. Over the past decade, Hackman has helped grow aioli from a six-person café into a thriving, community-rooted business that values neighborhood relationships as much as technical excellence. From community fundraisers and local events to everyday moments of hospitality, her presence is felt in every corner of the café.
