We love real bread. It tastes great! Real bread is made from scratch, by hand, without chemicals to speed up the process or preservatives. It is sold the day it is made.

 In a mass produced, highly processed, and impersonal modern food world, we are different. Our bread takes time to make from gathering ingredients from the best suppliers, local producers whenever possible, making each dough from scratch, kneading each roll and loaf by hand, giving bread all the time it needs to rise and baking it to perfection.

 

 Where did we get the idea to make traditional European and hearty American style breads? We grew up in European households. Sabine lived in Italy for six years and her parents emigrated from Germany . Ginius' parents emigrated from Lithuania . We grew up spending Saturdays with our parents, traveling far and wide, finding fresh healthy foods direct from local farms, enjoying fresh breads, and taking pleasure in baked goods created in the Old World style.

 

 Inspired by childhood experiences, Ginius, a computer professional, and Sabine, an art historian became bakers, opening Breadsmith in 2003. Located in a thriving, residential area in Lakewood Ohio , our bakery is in the tradition of European Bakers specializing in crusty European-style breads, and hearty American breads made fresh from scratch daily.

 We are on a mission to show people what a truly great experience they can have with bread. We not only hand-craft every loaf, but we create and bake in a time-honored, traditional way right here on the premises, using only the highest quality ingredients, without additives or preservatives. 

 

 Breadsmith is more than a bakery. In addition to making great tasting, healthy bread our mission is to be a good neighbor. We want to be a part of the community, serve the people, including those who are less fortunate and provide a fun, warm atmosphere in our store. Towards this goal, the bakery holds fundraisers for local organizations, supports community organizations and donates the left over bread from each day to various food banks and kitchens for the less fortunate.
