The Little Bakery came onto the Rochester scene in late 1999 with the combined vision of restaurateur Gerry Vorrasi and Pastry Chef Aaron Smith. Their vision was simple; to provide the Rochester area with the best baked goods available. Aaron and his team of talented artisans have succeeded and set the standard for what Rochestarians should expect. Three years running, the Little Bakery has been voted “Best Baked Goods” by the readers of City Paper.

Our rustic loaves contain only the finest locally milled flours and the freshest ingredients, always preservative free. Created using methods that have been proven over time. We believe that every loaf should represent our finest technique and creativity. We rely on our own natural starters and minimize the use and taste of commercial yeast. Our loaves rise slowly in a controlled environment so the fullest flavor and texture are attained.

Our pastries are handmade with great care and understanding. Real unsalted butter and fresh eggs make our French Brioche authentic and flavorful. Our Sweet Milk Scones are made moist and delicious with whole milk and butter. We value and honor the process of creation that distinguishes our craft as an art.
