Our Story

3711 Plaza Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48108|734-761-2095| OPEN DAILY 7am-7pm |View our holiday hours It all began with one customer, eight bakers, and five bread recipes. Today we’ve evolved into a full-service bakery with a bustling retail shop, cake studio for custom-designed cakes, and teaching bakery for home bakers and cooks! In 1992, Frank Carollo, together with Zingerman’s Delicatessen founders Paul Saginaw and Ari Weinzweig, opened Zingerman’s Bakehouse to improve the quality and flavor of the sandwiches at Zingerman’s Delicatessen with full-flavored, artisan bread. The bakery was the second business in Zingerman’s Community of Businesses, which is now a collection of over 10 mainly food-related businesses all based in and around Ann Arbor, MI. Our mission—“the relentless pursuit of being the best bakery we can imagine”—was strong in the beginning and is very much alive now. We are true artisan bakers, which means we use traditional recipes, time-honored processes, our hands, and flavorful ingredients, many locally sourced, to make our bread and sweet treats.Our baked goods, all hand made from raw ingredients, are rooted in age-old American, European, and Jewish traditions.Many of our recipes now include freshly milled regional grains processed on our own stone mills. We believe that great food is created in a great workplace. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive culture at the Bakehouse that’s also enriching—financially, socially, and intellectually. We support the personal development and career growth of those who show interest. In fact, the current co-managing partners, Amy Emberling and Jaison Restrick, both started as hourly employees here, looking for a fulfilling place to make good food. Now they’re carrying on the mission! BAKE!, our onsite teaching bakery, offers dozens of hands-on baking and cooking classes, in-person and virtually. We share our recipes and years of baking experience so you can make great food at home. We’re a community of businesses in the Ann Arbor area who share a common mission, vision, and guiding principles. We’re artisan producers of baked goods, coffee, and fresh cheeses, specialty food shops, caterers, event planners, restaurants, and business trainers. We’re known for full-flavored food and great service. Come and visit us; we’d love to host you! Order online for pickup at the Bakehouse today or plan ahead and treat your future self.
