Breadsmith

If you like chocolate cake try their chocolate muffins! Banana walnut and zucchini walnut dessert breads like my Aunts scratch recipes, moist and delicious!

We’ve tried several of their breads available at our local grocery store and the farmer’s markets in the area and all were quite good. This was the first time we visited their actual bakery. All their breads freeze very well in our experience.
Decent variety of breads («plain,» savory & dessert/​sweet varieties) along with some dinner rolls, sweet rolls, scones & muffins. We were greeted right away when we entered and the girl who assisted us was very helpful in answering our questions & offering suggestions. We brought home a loaf of the English Muffin toasting bread (makes excellent toast & mighty tasty grilled cheese) and 2 kinds of scones (Maple Walnut & Cherry Almond — both very dense & delicious though the Cherry one really could have used more cherries in it).
I like that their website lists nutritional information but I am disappointed their website doesn’t also list the ingredients. That would be a nice addition.

Breadsmith. Fancy bread for fancy people.
My first bite of Breadsmith was at a friend’s house on New Year’s Eve. Someone set up a panini maker, a heavenly assortment of cheese, and some Breadsmith bread. The world’s best grilled cheese was born in the last minutes of 2015.
Even though a lot of that night is a blur, including the bottle of Andre I finished alone, the Breadsmith bread stuck with me. The multi-​grain bread is very good. I found it at Woodman’s the next week while grocery shopping, and I was impressed by the weight of this bread. The loaf itself is small but mighty; it felt like a brick in my hand.
I wouldn’t buy this all the time, since it was about $ 4 for a small loaf, but for something different or making some killer grilled cheese, I will buy the multi grain again. The dessert breads also piqued my interest — maybe next time!

The bread is so soft and moist! When they are designing the bread they make sure to include every detail into the bread!

I bought two loaves of bread from Breadsmith at the Kane County Flea Market in October. I just took the Honey Wheat out of the freezer the other day, and it was delicious! It is so nice to have fresh bread that freezes well.
Their country white bread is the type of bread my family prefers with pasta meals, and we all enjoyed it very much. The honey wheat that I had purchased wasn’t too dry. I like how it has a slight rye bread taste. Most of my family prefers rye bread, and I think this would be a great compromise for my family and I.
I’ve not had any other breads from here, but I’m very excited to go back to try something new!

Once again I am out to give a second chance to a local place. Breadsmith has a great location and opportunity to succeed, now if they could only make bread that I enjoy. This time around I ordered maple walnut, lemon poppy seed, and honey wheat breads. The lemon poppy seed is one for my wife to take to work. She buys it occasionally and says it is very good. Can’t comment because I am not a fan of lemon flavor in food. The maple walnut was really good toasted, but as I expected it falls apart where the ribbons of cinnamon /​brown sugar (I am assuming that’s what it is) weave through the bread. This is typical for this type of bread wherever I have gotten it, so I really feel like I expect it to happen. Lastly, the honey wheat… just like every loaf of regular sandwich bread I have bought at Breadsmith, it is dry, too dense, lacks any flavor. I don’t know if they have customers clamoring for bread that has the texture and taste of particle board, but I’m done with it here, I’ll stick to dessert breads and get sandwich bread anywhere else. Please add a little butter, oil or shortening and yeast to this stuff so it can actually be eaten without chugging milk or water in between bites. Reminded me of the saltine eating game, where you try to eat a half-​dozen saltines in a minute, but after three or four your mouth is bound with the mortar-​like saltine mess. That’s a funny game, this is not a funny bread.
Again, great for dessert breads, but that’s where it ends for me.

Awesome muffins. My work group made me bring in muffins everyday for a week long meeting.

Breadsmithe is SO good! They sell delicious, fresh bread, pastries, scones, and more! Their sourdough bread is to die for, as well as their cinnamon rolls. They’re HUGE, and inexpensive! I’m not a regular here, but when I get the taste for something, I’m there. The employees that I’ve met are extremely nice, and a lot of fun to talk to. I’m sure I’ll be in soon, as thinking about their bread makes me want more!

I know I’m supposed to be really creative and come up with some type of paragraph to review this place so that I don’t «Yelp: leave you hanging». But the bottom line is that this place has fantastic breads, pastries and muffins! It is a gotra try it stop if you are in or pasding through Saint Charles! It’s a little pricey and go to the bathroom before you get there because they don’t have one but this is a great place!

Take it from a woman who knows bread. I’ve baked it and eaten it for many years. From the bread turkeys that line the entrance to the wonderful smells inside, this little bakery assaults the senses (in a good way). We bought two loaves of bread, wonderful but pricey, and a muffin, very reasonably priced, a which was so yum we had to turn around and get another.

When these types of bread bakeries hit the scene years ago, I always thought they were too pricey, even though one would get a huge loaf of bread! Trouble is, I can’t go through a huge loaf before it goes bad! This bakery has great muffins at a size and price I can handle! The zucchini muffins are like what we made at home, great flavor and texture-​how it should be! The other muffins are great too, as are the brownies! They have dinner roll sizes of mostly all their breads too, so one can have a smaller portion of the breads. The best part, is that its always fresh! I don’t have to ask when they made the items like I would at the grocery store or coffee shops and risk getting goods that are three days stale!

I love to treat myself occasionally to a chocolate chip scone and a cup of coffee when I stop in to buy my family some banana bread. Don’t miss the pizza dough! It’s a great weekend family meal event! We order the challah for special gatherings and it’s become our tradition.

Best. Bread. Ever.
The honey white is great for toast and grilled cheese sandwiches. The dessert breads are amazing — especially pumpkin chocolate chip, yum! Will return again and again. Make sure to get a punch card to earn free bread.

They’ve got amazing dessert breads; pumpkin, banana, cranberry orange, pumpkin walnut, banana chocolate chip! Plus apple pie and strawberry pie! I love their multi and whole grain bread for sandwiches too!
They have awesome cookies as well! Just a great bakery! I usually pick this up at the Wheaton French Market, but since I was in St. Charles I went to the store!

I’ve been to Breadsmith plenty of times, but I’ve never reviewed it… here it goes!
If you love freshly baked bread, this is the spot for you! They have an amazing selection of savory and sweet breads. They also have great cookies!!! Everything is baked on site, and it all tastes very fresh.
I buy from this store, as well as from the booth they have set up at the Wheaton French Market. This is my go to place for breads, cookies, and muffins.
They also use Whole Wheat flour in many of their products. I’m going to be honest with you, though. If you are trying to lose weight, and while whole wheat is better than white, you should not be eating bread in the first place. Sorry, that’s my little weight loss rant for the day.
This is an excellent store with a great selection of bakery products. They have specials for each day of the week as well. Highly Recommend!

Excellent bread. Especially love the garlic onion parmesan, it is baked with real parmesan cheese in it. I’d recommend eating this bread with homemade soup. The dessert breads are not really my thing — too gooey. This place is a must try.

I have always loved their apple pie bread and I believe they also have a very delicious cinnamon swirl loaf. The neighboring sandwich shop, Smitty’s, uses fresh bread from Breadsmith to make all their sandwiches. Your purchase is always fresh so fantasticness is a guarantee.
