Our Story

The Baker and The Bread was born out of a love for our morning routine. As new parents, we can't wait to wake up and have our fresh Sourdough toast with scrambled eggs and piping hot coffee — even on the days we could use 8 more hours of sleep.

We loved it so much we decided to craft our bread in-house, ensuring every slice is made with simple ingredients and free from preservatives. Our morning toast has become a cherished ritual that brings us joy every day.

Now, we want to extend that joy to you, our community. Rooted in time-honored techniques and sprinkled with our own unique flair, our sourdough loaves and premium pastries are crafted to elevate your everyday mealtimes.

We believe our bread is only as good as the heart we put into it.
