Did Our Daily Bread Bakery Close?

By an edhat reader

Does anyone know if Our Daily Bread bakery closed? I know their restaurant closed in 2018, but now we are unable find the bread in any of the usual grocery stores.

Thanks.

  1. Is Handlebar buying their Almond Croissants from Renaud’s ???
    I got turned-off with Daily Bread, when the husband (owner), put a loaf a bread up to his face and smelled it…. picked it up with his hands, but I didn’t see him wash his hands, after handling money….. eeewwww gross … And, their coffee was always luke warm

  2. With every other person these days apparently suffering from Celiac, the bread business in a town with big city rents is practically impossible. Too bad, they had some really great breads but as another said, its a tough, tough business.

  3. They tried to do something besides being a bakery/bread maker which is what pushed them over the edge. Everyone is trying to his the jackpot of high profit. It is not enough apparently to have a reliable income and provide a local service.

  4. So very true. This is at least partially related to the amount of money earned that is used to pay rent. It is simply outstripped the percentage of revenue that leaves enough for a livelihood. Before the 90’s you could open literally any business, send your kids to school and make a decent living. Now, a REIT owns the property you’re in and it has one thing in mind. Extraction. Additionally, NNN contracts put all the extraneous costs also on the lessee. This is not a joke, but anyone still in business doing what they love is seriously only still in business because they love it. Business plans alone, Go/No Go decision making suggests most ideas are only fantasy at this point. That is, if you want to make a decent living at it. Otherwise? Dream away.

  5. Yes, they thrived at their first location for a long time. Unfortunately, the owners of C’est Cheese went behind their backs when it was time for their lease to be renewed, and offered the landlords more for the space. This forced them out and to the new location, which just wasn’t as good. I’ve boycotted C’est Cheese ever since. Not cool.
