OUR STORY
Orwashers Bakery is a New York City Institution. Founded in 1916 by Hungarian immigrant Abraham Orwasher, the bakery began as a small store in the Upper East Side. It was born out of a desire to serve local immigrant community members and focused on the high-quality rye, black, and grain breads that reflected the traditions of his homeland. It soon became a thriving wholesale business with deliveries being made by horse and buggy. Abraham's son Louis would go on to take over the business from his father, owning the building the bakery was housed in. Louis would go on to perfect the formulas of his father, while reinventing the bread sold. It is claimed that it was Louis who invented raisin pumpernickel bread, at Orwashers during World War II.

In 2007, Mr. Orwasher sold the bakery to Keith Cohen, who stated plans to expand the bakery's offerings beyond Eastern European breads, adding artisanal breads from Italy, France, Ireland, and the United States.

Since then, Keith and his team have worked hard to respect the brand's rich history while incorporating a distinctly current point of view. As part of this evolution, they have partnered with regional farmers for raw materials, are working with local wineries to create their starters and have developed a new line of contemporary artisan breads to satisfy today’s palates. We are grateful for the rich history and loyal patrons that have brought Orwashers this far and look forward to baking great bread for many more decades to come.

Though our heritage is one of transformation and innovation, one thing will never change: Orwashers’ commitment to doing what is right. Our relentless pursuit for making ethical choices at all times is what has built trust in Orwashers—from our guests, business partners, and colleagues.
