Metropolitan Cafe & Pizza, 264 S 19th Street, So the two friends created Metropolitan Bakery.

On a rainy morning in November 1993...
With a line of Philadelphians waiting to try their just-baked breads, Wendy Smith Born and James Barrett opened Metropolitan Bakery. The future business partners first met at Philadelphia's pioneering farm-to-table restaurant White Dog Café, where Wendy was managing partner and James the pastry chef. Bonding over a mutual love of food and travel, they lamented how hard it was to find great breads and pastries like those they enjoyed in Europe.

On March 15th, Metropolitan Bakery will be closing our retail location on Rittenhouse Square after an amazing 32 year run.

It has been an honor to serve you and to be part of your holidays, celebrations and daily life.

Our breads, rolls, and granola will remain available online and throughout the region at speciality shops and markets via .Bakery, an artisan bakery that shares our passion for naturally leavened, old-world style breadmaking and quality customer service.

Thank you for everything, Philadelphia.
Be good to each other.

Wendy and James

After 32 wonderful years, we will be closing our Rittenhouse Square retail location on March 15th.

Our breads, rolls, and granola — baked by Merzbacher’s of Germantown using our recipes and time honored techniques — will continue to be available online and at the same specialty shops and markets throughout the region.

Thank you for supporting us for more than three decades. It has meant everything.

Wendy & James
