—The mastermind behind the bread—

Robert VanKeuren started his baking business in 2012 with a wood fired oven in Lombardi’s Trattoria in Georgetown, CT. He had spent the previous couple weeks in India on a yoga retreat which enlightened him to a truth that would change the entire dynamic of his life, he had a passion for food, and he needed to center his life around this passion.

In 2017 he moved to the historic GreyBarns Inn in Norwalk, CT and in 2018 opened his first shop in Darien, CT.

“VanKeuren himself might never say anything he bakes is perfect, that’s just who he is. But his customers certainly think so. Even if he doesn’t believe his problem-solving mentality has solved the puzzle of baking, he’s damn close to the solution. ”
