The Golden Crust Way

No Shortcuts. No Preservatives. Just Bread.

We use stone-ground flour from a fourth-generation mill in Vermont, free-range eggs from a farm 12 miles away, and cultured butter imported from Normandy. Everything else is water, salt, time, and care.

Our sourdough starter — named "Margot" — has been going since the day we opened. She's the backbone of everything we bake.

Our Story

A Family Recipe, A Neighborhood Tradition

The Beginning

From Grandmother's Kitchen to Your Table

Founder Elise Bernard grew up watching her grandmother bake every Sunday morning in a farmhouse kitchen in Lyon, France. When Elise moved to the States in 2012, she brought those recipes with her — and spent four years perfecting them for a new audience.

Golden Crust opened in 2016 with six items on the menu, a single oven, and a line out the door on day one. Today the bakery serves over 400 customers on a busy Saturday, but every item is still mixed by hand.

Our Values

What We Stand For

Slow is Right

We cold-ferment our sourdough for at least 36 hours. Good things take time.

Real Ingredients

No additives, no improvers, no shortcuts. Read our label — it's just food.

Community Roots

We donate 50+ loaves weekly to a local shelter. Every purchase helps.

Craft Pride

Our bakers train for six months before leading their own station.
