Our Story

Born in Waukegan,
Baked with Purpose

Tony's Bakery isn't just a place to grab bread — it's where the smell of fresh sourdough wakes up Washington Street every morning at 4 a.m. We started with one oven and a commitment to do things the right way, and Waukegan has been showing up for us ever since.

Every loaf is hand-shaped. Every croissant is laminated from scratch. We source locally whenever we can, and we never cut corners on ingredients. This is the kind of bakery that becomes part of your Sunday routine — and your life.
