Cherbourg Bakery's namesake comes from Geri's favorite port-town of Cherbourg, France. She first visited Cherbourg in 1997 and instantly fell in love with its welcoming people and down-to-earth feel.
It wasn't for another few years until Geri learned that her grandfather helped to liberate Cherbourg in 1944 during WWII, /and/ that her grandmother actually came to America via Cherbourg 20 years prior.
Cherbourg France has been a safe haven to so many, and Cherbourg Bakery represents that same welcoming sense of community and dependability.
We hope you find your way to us — either in one of our bakeries or online — soon!
Be Sweet & Bon Appétit,
Geri
