At Reli's Bakery, we don't rush the process. Our sourdough ferments for 48 hours, our pastries are folded by hand at dawn, and every batch carries the patience of bakers who believe quality cannot be hurried.
Since Day One
Crafted with purpose in Hayward
Reli's Bakery began with a simple conviction: that the best bread demands nothing less than your full attention. No shortcuts, no compromises — just flour, water, salt, and time.
Located on WI-27 in the heart of Hayward, we've built a space where the aroma of fresh-baked sourdough greets you at the door and every pastry is finished with the care you'd give a guest. Whether you're stopping in for a morning espresso or picking up a loaf for Sunday dinner, we're here to make your day a little richer.
48h
Sourdough Fermentation
100%
Handcrafted Daily
Every item on our menu is made in small batches, fresh each morning. What's baked today won't last until tomorrow.
48-hour fermented wild yeast loaf with a crackling crust and open, tangy crumb. Baked fresh every morning.
Seven layers of French butter, folded by hand each dawn. Shatteringly flaky on the outside, tender and airy within.
Rotating selection of tarts, danishes, and specialty items crafted from whatever the season brings to our kitchen.
Locally roasted beans, brewed to order. From a bold espresso to a silky pour-over, every cup is pulled with intention.
Celebrations deserve something extraordinary. Let us craft a cake that's as memorable as the occasion.
Start your morning right with savory tarts, fresh fruit, and our famous breakfast sandwich on house-made brioche.
We source stone-milled flour from regional mills and organic butter from Wisconsin dairy farms. The foundation of great bread starts with great ingredients.
Our sourdough rests for a full 48 hours at cool temperatures. This slow fermentation develops complex flavors and a crumb structure that quick methods simply can't match.
Every loaf is hand-shaped with intention — no machines, no molds. We watch the proof, not the clock, letting each dough reach its full potential before it meets the oven.
We bake in stone-deck ovens that deliver intense, even heat. The result: a crust that sings when you tap it and a interior that's alive with flavor. Served warm, always.
The best sourdough I've had outside of a European bakery. The crust is extraordinary, and the café atmosphere makes every visit feel like a visit to a favorite local gem.
