50 YEARS IN THE BAKING
Opened originally in 1959 as the New Yorker Bakery, Grand Bakery has evolved many times in its 50+ year history. Bob Jaffe took the helm of the iconic institution in 1998 and steered the bakery with a warm smile and a grateful spirit for 18 years.
In 2017, New York-native Sam Tobis bought Grand Bakery and took a hard tac — parting ways with the original storefront, while maintaining all other aspects of the business. In this latest evolution, Grand Bakery has become a wholesale and special-order bakery, now serving our community around the Bay once again.
We have the same bakers, the same challah, working in a new location, serving you with the same spirit you've always loved.
Grand Bakery's mission is enable bring people to gather around food and ritual. We deliver kosher goods to communities all over the Bay Area, and foster friendships between people of all walks of life.
