Georgestown Bakery — Restaurant in St. John's

My husband is a chef. We make our own bread all of the time. Periodically, we run low and have to buy a loaf, to use until we get a chance to bake.

Every loaf of bread is divine and has a marvelous soft and fluffy texture inside, and there is a good chance of getting one still hot from the oven.
