Grateful Bread Company is a family owned and operated, rapidly growing artisan bakery.

Our artisan philosophy is at the heart of our bakery - we wouldn't be who we are without it.

Our founder has been baking artisan breads for over 35 years, and he has developed our custom formulas to meet the needs of our chef-driven restaurants. Every Saturday we open a retail shop to the public which includes a selection of exclusive pastries, pretzels and specialty breads.

We don't use any chemicals or preservatives, and we use natural starters and long fermentation processes to create true Old-World-style artisan breads. We use a different starter for nearly every type of dough, including our 24-year-old natural sourdough starter, which is what gives our breads their unique character and flavor.

Our guiding philosophy is uncompromising dedication to quality, maintaining the integrity of the artisan process, using only the very best all-natural ingredients, and creating an environment for artisan bakers to thrive. We continue to strive every day to create the best handcrafted breads in Denver.
