History

Yasuaki Saito, Michael Sanders, and Randi Rachlow opened the bakery in a former boatyard in April 2021, in what used to be a machine shop operated by Jensen Motor Boat Company.[7]

In 2022, the business was among local bakeries participating in a bake sale benefitting abortion access.[14] Saint Bread announced plans to expand in 2023.[15]

Gabby Park was the pastry chef at Saint Bread.[16]
