Lost Bread Co.

Fantastic fresh bread and cookies at the Berwyn Farmer's Market.Very good breads from $6 to $11.Fresh, large, gorgeous loaves.

If you don't already know Lost Bread Co., you'll want to. Where savory, sweet, salty, and good times collide! This retail/food space is a dreamy little haven that has so much more than you'd think given the size. Such a thoughtful variety of bread, snacks (iconic pretzel shortbread, but everything else too!), and fantastic meal-level options like the single greatest sausage roll I think I've ever had. And zines!My ideal stop of a rainy Sunday morning: breakfast, coffee, and take-home delights. And of course, A+ service! I just love it. I'm glad you exist, LBC.

This place is open! Their hours may be limited (I'm assuming they post hours on Instagram and other socials) but they were open on a Sunday morning when I walked by, so I popped in and was glad I did. Not only do they have freshly baked bread and pastries available for purchase, they also have coffee (iced and hot) and egg sandwiches. Their shelves are also stocked with grab and go items like those shortbread crackers they're so famous for and freshly mulled flour. They even have a few tables inside if you'd like to sit down to enjoy your breakfast.

SO Good!! Lost Bread is a bakery and mill in Philadelphia. I found their table at the entrance to the Schuylkill River Park. The table is unassuming, yet filled with so much. They had Table Bread, Whole Grain Croissant, Deli Rye, Spelt Handpies, Milk Buns, Oat Bar, and Cranberry Bran Muffins. I opted for the Pretzel Shortbread Crisps, which are so yummy. They have lasted all week and I already can't wait for the next batch!

If you want a delicious and different experience, just order from Lost Bread and discover a whole world of different oat bars, granola, and the best of all their choice is Pretzel Shortbread................made a believer out of me....

I was introduced to Lost Bread Co. by those amazing pretzel shortbread cookies. I've since been to their Howard street location twice during this pandemic for in-store pickups. If I've learned one thing about how we handle being at home, it's that the entire world decided to bake bread. It was weeks before I saw flour on sale in the grocery stores or the standard flour I buy. I think early on, I couldn't find meat either, but I found corned beef packets after St. Patrick's day. I wanted Rye bread, didn't know if I would be able to find it, so I went to Lost Bread to get some Rye Flour. A whole wheat too, pretzel short breads, and their pizza kits. The pizza kits were perfect for the two of us and they had a sliding scale to purchase more dough. Very helpful to people not currently getting a paycheck, but still wanted to eat a decent meal. I've been back for more Pretzel Shortbreads for me and others, (you're welcome Mom for the Mother's Day gift... It beat's any candy for someone who grew up in Philadelphia) I've also gotten more pizza kits for the summer greens featuring ramps and cheese curds. If it wasn't for the COVID-19, I wouldn't have been frequenting this place as much. I'm glad I found this place and I look forward to more purchases in the future, but for now my large orders are strictly to just try to help the fantastic places that make our region so special.

I'm glad I took some time on my Sunday morning to stop by. It's in a convenient and accessible location. It's a very unassuming place, and when I went, it was pretty empty. The man at the register was fast and friendly. I got the whole grain loaf and a bag of the pretzel shortbread (total $19). Both were fantastic. The bread had a perfect chewy and hearty texture that would make a great base for sandwiches or toast. What really surprised me though was the shortbread. It was both savory and sweet, and unlike other shortbread I've had, it wasn't too dry or crumbly. I definitely want to return to check out some of their other items!

Love their flour, their bread, their snacks. I can't say they do anything wrong...We have been in Philly just over two years and I have to say that Lost Bread is one of my favorite places to support. Delicious bread - and numerous types and all are amazing. The pretzel shortbreads are also to die for. They also are a pickup location for Proyecto Tamale - and for the past three weeks, it's become our Sunday ritual taking the walk up there, get some flour (for home bread making) and pastel de nata (if you haven't tried these you are missing out), perhaps some Blind Tiger Coffee beans if we need them, and pickup the tamales. In the nicer months, they also were at the Christ Church Farmer's Market in Old City which made it a tad easier to snag some goods. But the location near Fishtown isn't hard to get either (for a no car family like us that walks everywhere). Highly recommended!

Support local!This little bread company is located in a really innocuous part of town as well as on the street. With the door closed I'm sure I wouldn't think anything of this warehouse-looking neighborhood bakeshop.I tried all the pastries they had that day, my friend got a hominy biscuit, and we split a half loaf of milkbread and a loaf of the seeded bread.The donut was a little bit on the dense/chewy side. Filling was good and didn't ooze as one may fear. Dough of the donut was sweet and light. Filling wasn't overly sweet or overpowering of the dough.Pear Canelle was crisp on the outside and soft and moist on the inside; good variation in texture without any overpowering flavors. A great standard canelle.Salted Chocolate Chip Cookie was the first thing I broke into (long time readers will understand). Very moist and flavorful, good consistency throughout, distribution of chips and overall flavor was good.Kouign-aman was a slightly different shape and texture than I was accustomed to. Not sure if this was intentional or if it was a mess-up that got called a kouign-aman. Overall it was a good pastry.Breads were moist in the center with a good amountof crust and flavor - no complaints!

good food - a bit too much on the healthy side for me to become a regular, but the pretzel shortbread is insane.
