Growing up in a Lebanese-American family, fresh-baked bread has always been at the heart of every meal. As children, we watched with excitement the dough rise under our grandmothers' careful eyes, with anticipation of the first bite. Our family business began in 1979 in San Mateo, California, when my brothers, sister, and I were in high school. It was named Nick’s Deli after my older brother. With our love of fine food, as well as the respect for hard work our parents taught us, we welcomed our customers as part of our family. 

​

In the small kitchen of our family's deli, I learned what I could about breads, pastries, cookies, and cakes, which I refined for our customers. After a lot of trial and error, wonderful teachers, and very long nights, we worked on our line of products. Supermarket owners and restaurateurs were soon requesting to sell and serve our breads, and this demand truly escalated. From there, it was word-of-mouth.

​

In 1995, we purchased the baking plant from San Francisco’s famous Fantasia Bakery, located in South San Francisco. We opened an outlet where our father's boundless energy and warm smile greeted customers daily with hot, fresh bread. Today, we offer authentic San Francisco-style sourdough bread made with the finest ingredients and an assortment of other fine breads made by hand.  Our sourdough bread is naturally fermented, and we guarantee all of our products to be of the finest quality. We have learned from our customers that our sourdough's golden crust and wonderful sour flavor cannot be beat. My brothers Nick and Michael, sister Nicole, niece Mary Jane, lead baker Alfredo, and our entire family of employees join me in our commitment to bringing joy to your dining table through our breads.
