In bread we crust

SAWERDŌ intends to offer something simple: delicious and nutritious bread. In an industry dominated by industrial goods, these qualities have become increasingly uncommon. We will work with selected farmers in the region that value the land and the nutritional value of what they produce, to produce a healthy and delicious offering of natural sourdough bread. But we won’t stop there. SAWERDŌ will be a bakery, yes, but also a café, a restaurant, and a brunch spot - common thread? deliciousness!
