Athens Bread Company

This is a local bakery. It makes handmade breads and pastries using traditional techniques, with each product shaped and finished by hand. The recipes reflect years of experimentation, and the baking methods continue to evolve. Ingredients are sourced locally when possible, including milk, cheese, eggs, and honey from regional producers. The bakery also offers specialty cakes and seasonal specials, developed by owner and pastry chef Carly Willison. Its bread and pastries have been supplied to local restaurants and cafés. Based in Athens, Ohio, the shop is open Monday through Friday from noon to 6 p.m. It donates extra loaves and pastries each week to United Campus Ministry and works to reduce waste through sustainable baking practices.
