fleur de sel
Our mission at BREADBAR is ambitious: we are proposing a new way of making and eating bread, of thinking and talking about bread. It is inspired by the age-old breadcraft of France, a place where breadmaking still enjoys the greatest respect, and even glory, and where bread is consumed and appreciated with the same distinction as fine wine and cheese.

At BREADBAR we are introducing this old-world tradition but in a modern setting, adjusted to the tastes and rhythms of everyday American life today. We use an ancient, simple recipe—just flour, water, leavening and salt—combined with our bakers’ skill and passion. We use only the purest ingredients, blended gently, fermented at great length, and baked in an oven reproducing traditional techniques. We take care of the dough, we give it time. We want to raise your expectations and offer you a new register of pleasure.

Our bread is good just on its own, with a crust and a crumb that taste, smell and feel uncannily rich. We also want to revive the sense of intimacy that comes with good bread, the rare food that we eat with our hands, and that more often than not we share with others. As we break bread, we forge bonds, a unique bread experience that too frequently has been forgotten.

At BREADBAR, bread is the main event, and we bring this tasting and sharing moment back to center stage.

Bread gave us our starting point. From this, we've developed an entire line of breakfast pastries, menu items and desserts to compliment your life. Additionally, we have a full menu with breakfast, sandwiches, salads and soups.

Come for lunch and try BREADBAR’s new menu: French classics updated with modern American tastes. Every item comes with its own unique pairing of bread, like our soup of the day served with hearty slices of our Rustic Millstone loaf.

Above all, The BREADBAR experience is about enjoying delicious, healthy food in a welcoming and elegant atmosphere. Our superb breads and menus, our thoughtful service, and our pleasant airy space, all conspire to create a place that we hope invites you—like the perfect neighborhood bar—to sample, to savor and to linger.
