Grand Central Bakery Cafe

In 1989, Gwen Bassetti opened Grand Central Bakery on a hunch: that Seattle was hungry for delicious, hand-crafted rustic bread. From those early days of baking 80 artisan loaves a day in historic Pioneer Square, Grand Central Bakery has grown into an enduring company that produces thousands of loaves a day, delivering to grocers and restaurants throughout Portland and Seattle and drawing devoted customers into its neighborhood cafes.
