OUR STORY IS OUR HISTORY
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. The bread baking process has never lost its excitement for us. Our family business began in 1977 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 the 1990's we purchased the baking plant from San Francisco’s famous Fantasia Bakery located in South San Francisco to meet the needs of our expanding customer base. We opened an outlet on South Spruce 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, lead baker Alfredo and our entire family of employees join me in our commitment to bringing joy to your dining table through our breads.
Sincerely,
Raymond Ofiesh
