Breadsmith — Restaurant in Meridian Charter Township

I stopped in for the first time on Saturday afternoon. I bought two loaves of bread (cinnamon swirl & espresso chocolate chip) and two goodies - a peanut butter cookie and an almondine - I should NOT have done that, I should not have bought just one, I should have bought them ALL! They were amazing. The cookie and the breads are also fabulous! The cinnamon swirl makes AMAZING French toast! The owner gave me a tip of putting it in the freezer for about 15 minutes before slicing it and THEN making the French toast. It worked fantastically and it was SO good! The espresso chocolate chip just takes about 15 seconds in the microwave before you spread butter on it and eat it with your coffee.

I don’t know why I have never stopped in here before, but now, this is where I will get my specialty breads. Unlike other places, he isn’t raising his prices through the roof, he is keeping the costs low for the customers. I also learned that all of the bread is made fresh each night and whatever doesn’t sell is donated to different organizations. This owner is someone that cares about his community and his customers and that was so refreshing to hear. It was great talking with him and the other employee that was there, I walked out of there feeling happy and excited to 1) try all my goodies, and 2) feeling like I had found a new treasure.

I definitely recommend Breadsmith and will be going back as soon as we finish the...

Its legitimately the best bread in Okemos and the employees there top notch and and lovely. Today I tried to stroll in but found them closed. This by itself is NOT a problem as its closed for employee vacation (which is cool) but seeing that google says Breadsmith in Okemos is open I just show up. Here is why I have given a single star. I arrived to see no bread in the window and someone coming out of the store. I approach and the gentleman says we are closed. I assumed out of bread tbh and ask what the problem was? He sighs and rudely says hes had the sign on the door for two weeks now. I believe this was the owner and was shocked at the abruptness and rudeness over something kinda of cool. But if my confusion and time were wasted over that since I just wanted some sourdough then I wont be going back. Again the employees working there deserve the break cause they are...

I've been popping in and out of this place for almost a decade now. Great bread and cookies. It's a small store where everything is right there when you enter, so there's not much to say about it. The service is always good, you can ask for suggestions depending on what you intend to have with the bread, and that's a stamp-off card (one for bread and one for treats).

It must be mentioned that this place is resilient. They kept up operations even after someone drove through the front window. I'm sure that's one of the last things they expected to ever have to weather (aside from a pandemic), but they've...
