Breadsmith Bakery

Breadsmith bakery is one of our favorite spots. Not just because most items are kosher (and therefore lactose free), but because the breads and muffins are fantastic.

I bet once a week we stop at the Breadsmith on Grand Ave. and Snelling Ave. in St. Paul to pick up a few banana chocolate chip muffins for the next day.

We always volunteer to bring the bread and buns to Thanksgiving and Christmas (a little ironic that we are pumped to bring kosher items to a Christmas party, huh?) because we know that all the baked goods will be sans milk. It is also a bonus that everyone asks us where we got the bread from.

I don't think we've come across any items at Breadsmith that have had milk in them.

Enjoy!

  1. Hi Ryan! I was reading this post about the bakery and was surprised that Kosher meant lactose free. I'd never heard that before, so I did some research online and found websites that described Kosher and read that it does not always mean lactose free, only some of the time. Just wanted to give you a heads up as I don't want anyone getting sick, thinking they are in the clear of dairy. Here is a link to what I found: http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:5RwS_NXQwZoJ:www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/resourcespre.php%3Fid%3D100+dairy+and+kosher&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a

  2. Thanks Kelly. I think I meant that the baked good were kosher, which is generally free of dairy.

  3. The bakery happens to kosher dairy free. All the products at their kosher sites are diary free, including the chocolate. Yay!

  5. From their website:
    OUR BAKERY IS DAIRY FREE
    What does that mean for you? Our products do not contain any dairy ingredients. For the few products that contain an oil ingredient, we use non-GMO canola oil or a specialized nonhydrogenated margarine that contains no artificial trans fat. Most of our products contain 2 percent or less of your daily value of fat.
