Liguria Bakery

Coordinates: 37°48′05″N 122°24′33″W / 37.8014°N 122.4093°W / 37.8014; -122.4093 Liguria Bakery is a bakery in North Beach, San Francisco, California that sells only focaccia. It is located on 1700 Stockton Street, at the corner of Filbert Street and across from Washington Square Park in North Beach.

The bakery was founded in 1911 by Ambrogio Soracco, with the help of his two brothers Giovanni and Giuseppe, on a site previously occupied by a church. Soracco had emigrated to San Francisco in 1907 from Chiavari, near Genoa in Italy. After working at another San Francisco bakery, he brought his brothers to San Francisco and they founded their own bakery. On Ambrogio Soracco's death in 1938, his brothers sold their shares in the bakery. Ambrogio Soracco's wife Mary and her new partners ran the business with hired bakers for eight years until her son, George Soracco, was old enough to become a baker himself, and by 2000 the Soracco family had repurchased the other two shares. The bakery continues to be run by the third generation of the Soracco family, and is one of the oldest businesses in North Beach.

Originally a full-service bakery, the Liguria Bakery began specializing in focaccia in 1950 after facing heavy competition in other types of bread from larger bakeries. By 1984, it had stopped producing anything but focaccia, which it sells to local stores and restaurants as well as to individual customers at its own facility.

Levain Bakery

Levain Bakery

Levain Bakery is a retail bakery that opened in 1995 and is located at 167 West 74th Street, on the Upper West Side neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. In June 2000 a second retail location was opened for seasonal business at 354 Montauk Highway, Wainscott, in the Hamptons area of eastern Long Island and Harlem, NY

Founded and co-owned by Constance McDonald and Pamela Weekes, the bakery initially opened to serve a variety of fresh-baked artisanal breads. The bakery has since become notable for its 6-ounce chocolate chip walnut cookies.

McDonald and Weekes developed the signature cookie recipe while training for an Ironman Triathlon. They discovered they needed a large number of calories to offset the rigors of training and decided on a traditional chocolate chip cookie, but much bigger. The 6-ounce chocolate chip walnut cookie served the purpose and ultimately became a signature item in their bakery. The cookie has spawned copycats.

In 1998 Levain Bakery expanded its cookie business to include mail order.

The Food Network has featured Levain Bakery in episodes of Throwdown with Bobby Flay, Roker on the Road, Unwrapped, Top 5 and Sweet Dreams. In December 2007, Levain Bakery was featured on an episode of Fashionably Late with Stacy London. In June 2008, Budget Travel listed Levain Bakery #3 of “50 Reasons You Love New York City.” They have been featured in the following books:

Lundberg Bakery (Austin, Texas)

Lundberg Bakery (Austin, Texas)

The Lundberg Bakery (now known as the Old Bakery and Emporium) is a historic building in downtown Austin, Texas. It is located at 1006 Congress Avenue, half a block south of the Texas State Capitol grounds. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1969.

The building is constructed of limestone with a brick facade, and features a large cast-iron eagle at the peak of the gabled roof overlooking Congress Avenue. The building was completed for use as a bakery in 1876. The building served as a bakery until the death of its Swedish born owner, Charles Lundberg (1835-1895), who had settled into Austin during 1872. At the time the bakery first began operations, bread was not sold wrapped or packaged. People would wait in line with cloth lined baskets to place the bread in after buying it. Short story writer William Sydney Porter frequented the bakery as he passed it to and from work while employed at the General Land Office Building. .

The building was used as a bakery until 1936, and after that for a variety of purposes. The building changed hands frequently until being bought and refurbished by the Austin Heritage Society in 1962. It was threatened with demolition in 1970, when a new building was planned for the Texas Department of Transportation, but saved when excavations next door uncovered the foundations of the previous state capitol building (a temporary structure built in 1882). Following this discovery, the foundations were converted to a historical plaza, and the bakery was saved. The Old Bakery was sold to the State of Texas which deeded the building and property to the City of Austin in 1980.

The Old Bakery and Emporium now houses the Lundberg-Maerki Historical Collection. The art gallery located on the third floor features a rotating schedule of exhibitions including artworks of local artists. The Old Bakery and Emporium operates as a consignment store spotlighting handcrafted gifts and fine art by local artisans with a visitor information center for tourist looking for fun attractions around Austin.

Magnolia Bakery

Magnolia Bakery is a chain of bakeries founded in New York City. The first location opened in 1996 at 401 Bleecker Street, on the corner of West 11th Street in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan. The bakery is known for its desserts, especially its cupcakes.

The original Magnolia Bakery was opened in 1996 by Jennifer Appel and Allysa Torey. The bakery began making cupcakes with leftover cake batter, and the cupcakes subsequently became very popular with customers. In 1999, co-owner Jennifer Appel left the business after a disagreement about expansion plans. Appel opened Buttercup Bake Shop in the Midtown East section of Manhattan. In 2006, Allysa Torey sold Magnolia Bakery to a new owner, Steve Abrams, who now serves as the CEO of the company.

The bakery is sometimes credited with helping to start a 1990s "cupcake craze". Co-owners Jennifer Appel and Allysa Torey published a book in 1999 entitled The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook: Old-Fashioned Recipes from New York's Sweetest Bakery. The exterior of the original bakery, as well as its cupcakes, were featured in Lazy Sunday, a Saturday Night Live digital short broadcast in December 2005. The bakery was also featured on Sex and the City, in the film Prime, in which one of the characters throws Magnolia pies at his ex-girlfriends, and in The Devil Wears Prada, in which the character Andy says at one point that she needs to get to the bakery to pick something up for her boyfriend. The sitcom Spin City also has Charlie Sheen's character bringing Magnolia Cupcakes to Heather Locklear's character. On October 16, 2008, Conan O'Brien bought a cupcake for each member of his audience during a taping of Late Night. It was also briefly mentioned in the third season of Veronica Mars, the title character affectionately mentioning a picture of her father "stuffing cupcakes in [his] face at Magnolia Bakery."

Magnolia Bakery has expanded from its original location with additional stores in the U.S. and the Middle East. In 2011, Magnolia Bakery CEO Steve Abrams stated that he had plans to open approximately three stores a year, and he added that he would work with franchisees to expand internationally. The company's U.S. locations include stores in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and Honolulu. Magnolia Bakery's first non-US store opened in Dubai in 2010. Magnolia Bakery currently has a total of 12 international locations in the following cities: Beirut, Dubai, Kuwait City, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Moscow City, Tokyo, Mexico City and PanGyo(Sung Nam in South Korea) .

Milk Bar (Bakery)

Restaurant information Established November 15, 2008; 9 years ago (2008-11-15) in New York City Current owner(s) Christina Tosi Head chef Christina Tosi Food type Pastry and dessert bakery with other sweet (and a few savory) items Street address 382 Metropolitan Ave. City Williamsburg, Brooklyn State New York Postal/ZIP Code 11211 " >Milk Bar (Bakery)

Milk Bar is a chain of dessert and bakery restaurants owned by founding chef Christina Tosi since November 15, 2008.

Milk Bar is part of the Manhattan-based Momofuku restaurant group created by Korean-American chef David Chang. Tosi is the creator of Milk Bar's well-known desserts. Milk Bar makes custom wedding cakes, produces their own line of baking mixes, and ships baked goods all around the globe. They also offer weekly baking classes at their Williamsburg kitchen, the heart of Milk Bar's nine New York locations. They also have locations in Washington, DC, Las Vegas, and Toronto.

Christina Tosi graduated from the French Culinary Institute’s pastry arts program, and began her career at upscale New York restaurants such as Bouley and wd~50. Tosi started at Momofuku as a food safety consultant; at that time there were no dessert items on the menu. After Tosi brought in various unconventional homemade desserts, owner David Chang demanded she re-create them for a dinner service that evening.

When Momofuku Ssam Bar decided to expand into a neighboring vacant laundromat, Tosi proposed the idea to add a bakery where she could create her famous "happy mistakes." These items include the compost cookie, the crack pie, and cereal milk.

Tosi received the James Beard Foundation award for Rising Star Chef of the Year for her work at the Milk Bar in 2012. Tosi followed up this award as a finalist for the 2014 Outstanding Pastry James Beard award for rising star chefs. In 2015, she received the James Beard Outstanding Pastry Chef award.

The first book of recipes from the restaurant, by Tosi, was called Momofuku Milk Bar (ISBN ) and released in October 2011. The second, again by Tosi, was called Milk Bar Life: Recipes & Stories (ISBN ) and released in April 2015.

Milwaukie Pastry Kitchen

Milwaukie Pastry Kitchen

Hurtis Mixon Hadley, Sr.,

Milwaukie Pastry Kitchen, established in the 1940s in downtown Milwaukie, Oregon, United States, at 10607 S.E. Main St., became the first black-owned and operated bakery in the state when Hurtis Mixon Hadley, Sr., and his wife Dorothy Butler-Bishop Hadley of Portland, Oregon purchased it in 1977. At that time, there were fewer than two percent African-Americans in the state, and even fewer Black-owned businesses. The Oregon Historical Society Museum selected the Milwaukie Pastry Kitchen for inclusion in a permanent exhibit in 2014.

Historically, Oregon's exclusion laws and institutional practices prohibited non-whites from settling in the state. Even after those laws were repealed in 1926, few African-Americans lived in Oregon. Black workers were attracted to Portland's shipyards between 1939 and 1945 to support the war effort, but discriminatory lending practices and segregationist real estate policies limited opportunities for Blacks to own businesses.

Racial attitudes were slow to change. "Reflecting national trends resulting from the Civil Rights Movement, Portland's African-Americans began to receive more equal treatment in the 1950s. New areas of potential employment where they had traditionally been excluded opened." The 1950 U.S. census records less than one percent of Oregon's population was African American; by 1990 it was about 1.7 percent.

In 1959, Oregon voters finally ratified the Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits states from denying citizens the right to vote based on "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." The federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 also ensured greater opportunities and access for minority citizens. More than a decade later, Hurtis Mixon Hadley and his wife Dorothy Butler-Bishop Hadley purchased the Milwaukie Pastry Kitchen and opened for business. According to the Portland Observer, "Milwaukie Pastry Kitchen was not only the sole black-owned business in the city of Milwaukie at the time, it was the first black-owned bakery in the entire state of Oregon."

Mister Donut

Mister Donut

Mister Donut (ミスタードーナツ, Misutā Dōnatsu^?) is a fast food franchise founded in the United States in 1956 and now headquartered in Japan, where it has more than 1,300 stores. The primary offerings include doughnuts, coffee, muffins and pastries. After being acquired by Allied Lyons in 1990, most North American stores became Dunkin' Donuts. Mister Donut also maintains a presence in Taiwan, South Korea, Mainland China, Philippines, Thailand, and El Salvador.

In 1955, Harry Winokur worked with brother-in-law William Rosenberg, the founder of Dunkin' Donuts. After Winokur broke his partnership with Rosenberg, he went on to create Mister Donut with his son-in-law David Slater in 1955, with stores in most of North America. The Mister Donut business became so popular that Winokur and Slater decided to go into franchising. As a result, Mister Donut began a rapid expansion that resulted in the opening of 275 stores in the U.S. and Canada. In 1970, Minneapolis-based International Multifoods Corporation, one of the world's largest and most successful food companies, acquired Mister Donut and its franchising concept from Winokur.

The first Mister Donut outlet in Japan opened in Minoh, Osaka in 1971. Also in 1971, a Mister Donut training center was constructed in Japan. In 1973, the French cruller became available in Japan stores. In 1983, Duskin Co., Ltd. of Osaka, Japan, acquired the rights to franchise Mister Donut throughout Japan and Asia.
