Have you ever had a really good loaf of bread? I’m not talking about a grocery store baguette or even a fresh Amoroso roll. There’s a huge difference between the bread we snack on in everyday life and a true artisan loaf, handcrafted by talented bakers with years of history and skill helping them perfect a crispy crust, fluffy center, and irresistible flavor. Lucky for us, there’s a tiny bakery in Lewes that has perfected the art of artisan breads, and you’ll never go back to grocery store loaves after trying their tasty creations.

Old World Breads in Lewes has been baking up the tastiest treats in Delaware for over 25 years.
