I rarely write reviews for anything, but I had to share this experience. I passed by the shop around 9 PM and was immediately drawn in by the warm aroma of freshly baked bread. Even though they were closing, the owner kindly let me in.

I noticed they had large packs of buns, but I just wanted a small one. Without hesitation, the owner went to the back to get it for me. I didn’t have any cash on me, and to my surprise, the owner said I could take the bread. I said I would come back to pay tomorrow. That simple gesture really touched me.

I shared the bread with my roommate as soon as I got home — she loved it as much as I did. There’s something special about the taste — honest, wholesome, and organic — just like the kindness behind it.

Best bread ever, and even better people behind it. Rooting for this bakery all the way!

Great local spot. Showed up early before they were done setting up and picked up a loaf of the sweet bread. Nice and eggy tasting, made for good toast with marmalade. Friendly staff and service, great neighborhood spot.

Best bread I've ever had! I'll drive the hour away now to get their bread, but it's worth it. Just make sure to bring cash. They don't take cards

Love the bread

I absolutely Love Love Love central bakery's scali bread. The only problem is I can't eat seeds because of a medical condition. Every once in a while I will find a loaf without seeds and I'm like a kid opening my gifts at christmas time. I would be so happy if central bakery would put more seedless scali bread in stores.

Don't let the view from the road fool you - this iconic business has the best Portuguese and Azores-style bread ever. Arrive early for the best selection.
