“Operating a bakery has always been a dream." We’ve always enjoyed bread in its many forms. The idea of a Bakery (Boulangerie) started when we lived in Paris. Ever since we left France, we have been in search of the best baguette you can buy. The main focus of BreadWorks overall concept and design is artisan baguettes, multigrain loaves and sourdoughs. As for what sets this eatery apart from other area bakeries is the setting itself – BreadWorks is something special for our guests, with an area designed for you to enjoy the food, all while watching crepes being made and donuts rolling down an automated belt.
