Baked with
Passion.
Since 1962, we've been baking in Washington DC using traditional recipes. Fresh every day, no compromises.
From our bakery
Craftsmanship you can see.
What we stand for
01Everything is baked overnight. Fresh from the oven from 5:30 AM — no reheating, no half-baked goods.
02No baking mixes. Just flour, water, sourdough and time. The way it has been made since 1962.
03Three generations, one passion. Today, grandson James runs the business — with the very same recipes.
Our centerpiece
The sourdough bread.
18 hours of fermentation, a crackling crust, a moist crumb. Our rye sourdough bread is the best-selling loaf in Washington DC — and has been for decades.
- 18 hours of natural fermentation
- Only local rye flour
- Baked fresh daily
