Omaha Bakery Supply — Restaurant in Omaha

I called Omaha Bakery Supply to ask about a bread proofing basket a couple days ago. Nancy answered the phone and I explained to her that I was new to making sourdough bread and had heard that this was one of the tools I should get. She explained to me that I didn't actually need it and that I could use any container in my house with some plastic wrap in it and I'd be set. I understand that employees are supposed to sell their products but it was so refreshing to have her be honest with me about this basket I didn't actually need to spend money on. I think we all get caught up in and tricked by the consumerist-driven buy, buy, buy and sell, sell, sell hustle culture so I truly appreciated Nancy's honesty, kindness, and knowledge. I don't even need to have stepped into the store to give them a 5 star review but they will certainly have my business in the future for my next...

I don’t get some of these reviews. This place is filthy, smelly, disorganized and unprofessional. How they can be operating at all is beyond understanding. They had very few of the products I would expect. Just a lot of mess and dirt. It ought to be shut down.

Only staff there was the owner’s son behind the counter playing games on his phone. Why wouldn’t he spend his time cleaning up or organizing the place?? He was friendly and tried to be helpful but the sight and smell of the place had already...

I expected a Baking Supply store, but this was a dirty warehouse, filled with junk (literally), with limited bulk ingredients and nothing more. If you're looking for used and filthy pans in a dark and musty garage or a 50lb bag of flour stacked in a filthy floor, go elsewhere.

No dishers, scoops, cookie cutters, or other tools.

It's a shame we don't have a decent baking supply store...
