Established in 2004.
When we moved from Germany in 1997, we immediately fell in love with the health-conscious lifestyle we found in California. We embraced our new home, but we missed the hearty breads and scrumptious desserts we had grown up enjoying in Germany. So, in 2004, we opened Esther’s German Bakery in order to bring you (and us!) the best of both worlds. At Esther’s German Bakery, we use only the finest whole wheat organic flour, whole grains, and freshest ingredients to bake exceptional breads, pretzels, rolls, pastries, and cakes using traditional German recipes.

Business Owner
We are a true family business. My husband (may be my fifth boy) is managing the wholesale side, while I manage the retail store. Me, that is Mom of four boys, a dog and a cat. I missed the flair of European Cafes. The quality and purity of the ingredients. We hated the color additives, preservatives and chemicals, that could be found in any food here. So we decided to open up our own bakery, where we would skip that all and go back to the roots: Recipes from centuries ago, where all these things didn’t exist and they still got delicious bread and baked goods.
