Grateful Bread Shop –
Brothers Bakery, featuring our specialty Grateful Bread, and many other savory treats, continues in the tradition begun by the Franciscan Friars who preceded us. They started the tradition of delivering tasty products to our neighbors in the community.

Our bakery, continues their mission, by offering an opportunity for our brotherhood of young men to learn new skills while developing a sense of the complexities of the business world. From Irish Soda Bread and Cinnamon bread to delicious pizzas, our product is available on a weekly basis to our community at large. Through the efforts of these young men, the entire bakery was recently gutted, refitted with new equipment and decorated in old style charm. Please come visit us and enjoy our delicious treats.
