Merzbacher's

Big news from the bakery.

Starting March 16, Merzbacher’s will take on Metropolitan Bakery’s wholesale bread operations. 

For more than 30 years, Wendy Born and James Barrett built a business grounded in craft, consistency, and deep relationships across the city. When Pete moved to Philadelphia, Metropolitan quickly became a benchmark. Proof that quality could scale without losing its soul. 

We’re honored that they chose us to carry the work forward. The bread you love isn’t going anywhere. Same recipes, same delivery, same care.

We started in 2013, renting pizzerias at night and delivering bread by bike, with five accounts and a lot of flour. We’ve grown since then, but our approach hasn’t changed: we make the bread we want to eat.

To Wendy and James, thank you for your trust. We’re honored to keep the ovens on and the bread moving. We’ll do what we’ve always done: show up early, bake great bread, and take care of the people who rely on it.

Hey Bread Fans!
We’ve got ourselves in a bit of a jam. A farmers market cancellation left us with an abundance of fresh-baked goodness, and we’d love your help in making sure it finds happy homes.
Tomorrow from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, we’re having an impromptu bread bonanza at the bakery. Everything’s half off - imagine snagging a naturally leavened sourdough for just $3!
So, if you’ve been meaning to carb-load or just want to impress your neighbors with your sudden bread wealth, come on down. Bring a friend, bring a tote, and let’s turn this little hiccup into a community feast.
See you tomorrow!

Merzbacher's thrives on wit and grit, powered by leaders like Tynitta (Business Operations Manager, left) and Sarah (Production Manager, right). They're real life breadwinners.

Celebrating International Women's Day with pride and gratitude!
