At Yeast & West Bakery, we’re redefining the art of baking. Our unwavering dedication to selecting intentional and thoughtfully prepared ingredients, harnessing the power of natural yeast, employing time-honored baking techniques, and allowing grains to naturally evolve, transforms every bite of our bread into a delightful and nourishing moment. Y&W strives to offer our valued customers a range of scrumptious bread and pastry choices, crafted with the finest ingredients and the patient process of slow-rise baking. Our commitment to preserving the inherent goodness of grains is achieved without the use of additives that can compromise our well-being.
Our founder, Jennifer Hackwith, a dedicated healthcare provider for more than four decades, founded Yeast & West with a profound belief that a wholesome diet, created simply from meticulously selected ingredients, not only has the power to enhance and restore our health but also brings joy to our hearts.
