At The Bread Factory, we believe that real craft takes time, care, and people who are passionate about what they do.

Since our beginnings as a small artisan bakery, we’ve grown into a thriving team of bakers, chefs, makers, movers, and thinker —all united by a shared purpose: to make exceptional food, by hand, with pride.

Our journey began with a single sourdough starter and a big idea—to bring honest, handcrafted baking to more people. Decades later, we’re still guided by that same passion for quality, creativity, and integrity. From hand-shaping loaves at 3am to carefully crafting gluten-free treats or planning the logistics of a smooth delivery, every person here plays a part in what we make, and how we make it.
