A small bakery,
twenty years on.
We opened a tiny shop in Astoria back in 2005. Twenty years later, every morning still starts at 4 AM, in one set of hands. Same flour, same proofing time, same oven. The unchanged things are what brought us here.
“I never wanted to franchise. I wanted to know every regular by name, and every loaf by feel.”
— Founder, Sunrise Bakery Co.
What hasn't changed
100% organic flour
Sourced directly from the same three certified family farms since day one.
Shaped by hand, daily
No machines touch the dough. Every loaf is scored and shaped the same way it was in 2005.
One oven, one recipe
We've never changed ovens or shortcuts. Consistency is the whole point.
Twenty years, in brief
Opened a 200-square-foot shop in Astoria with one oven and one recipe.
Started the sourdough starter we still bake with today.
Moved into our current storefront on 30th Ave.
Launched next-day delivery to keep serving regulars who'd moved further out.
Marked 20 years — same oven, same hands, same 4 AM start.
