Soup and Bread was what I needed today. The owner was so nice and accommodating he sliced me a personal size roasted garlic bread for my soup.

Amazing little bakery stopped here after grabbing some coffee next store and they have such a great selection of breads. The marble rye was a huge hit at home!

Ordered the breakfast box and was very disappointed. All they are is mini versions of the originals and they did not look very good. It was a waste of money and I was embarrassed to give it to the people I bought it for.

Great little bakery. Nice and clean. The food is delicious. My favorite is the asiago and jalapeño cheddar loafs.

This place is the real deal. You can tell their bread is made from scratch with real ingredients and old school care. Their Country Sourdough has that perfect tang and texture that only comes from true fermentation, no shortcuts. Try out the breakfast sandwiches too. Fresh & full of flavor, eggs cooked just right, the cheese melts beautifully, nice chewy but crisp bite on the bacon. 10/10

I bought the lemon tart and the crust was to thick and burnt on the bottom. The lemon was a thin line with no taste. The meringue was runny and thick. I also bought the cinnamon tart it was dry and no flavor. Not the bakeries grew up with.
I ended up throwing it out
Sorry brown bear. Idk if your stuff is gluten free but... it could use some flavor

Brown Bear Bread Co. is what carb dreams are made of!
From fresh artisan loaves and cookies to grab-and-go sammies and hot weekend breakfast—this woman-owned gem in New Brighton is doing it all. No preservatives, no bleached flour, just honest ingredients and unbeatable flavor.
We walked in and were hit with that warm, cozy smell of fresh bread - heaven!
Tried their famous English muffins, a sourdough loaf, and the most genius invention ever—a charcuterie roll (yes, really).
They also pop up at local farmers markets and sell to Pittsburgh faves!
Go curb your carb cravings the right way!

This place is worth the drive, especially if you’re in the Pittsburgh area. On a whim, decided to take a drive to explore this bakery. The offerings were excellent, shelves were full of bread/English muffins/cookies/etc. While checking out, decided to also grab a cinnamon roll and loaded French toast to split. These two items alone were incredible, especially the French toast. The cream cheese and berry compote were divine. So divine, I’m leaving a review from the parking lot. Do yourself a favor and put this on your list to try!!

Stopped by at random and I am SO GLAD we did!!! Such a cute business with delicious offerings and a comforting atmosphere. We got a loaf of their asiago bread we've devoured in nearly a day (with their garlic butter on top) and their cinnamon rolls are my new favorite thing; the cream cheese frosting is divine. The staff are so sweet too. We will be regulars here!
