Our Mission:
Metropolis Baking Company bakes bread to order with old fashioned old-world values using the finest flours, ingredients and processes available. We take longer to make breads, letting the flavors of the flours fully develop before baking.

The People:
The bakery was begun in the Spring of 1989 by Perry Dexter and other members of his family
Perry, who is now the sole owner and General Manager, worked in many fine SF & East Bay Restaurants and studied Business Administration at Cal State Hayward. Raised in Kansas (the Wheat State), with farm family backgrounds, the founders have a heritage of and appreciation for the land and the bounty it produces.

Robin Alexander joined the MBC staff as head Baker and Production Manager in April of 2003.
Robin, born and raised in San Francisco, became interested in artisan breads while working at Chez Panisse in Berkeley. From there, he worked for several of the top bay area artisan bread companies before moving to New York City. There, he was able to expand his knowledge and skills with several well-respected bakeries in Manhattan. As Head Baker, Robin brings the dedication and intellect needed to maintain the high standards Metropolis customers have come to expect. We are looking forward to the new products Robin will be rolling out in the future.

Flora Melendez as Administration Director brings a deep dedication to making sure all information is accurate and timely.

The dedicated staff at Metropolis, from the bakers and delivery personnel, to the office staff and sales department, is committed to providing the very best in products and customer service. It's what has made Metropolis Baking Company a world class bakery and what continues to set it apart from the competition.

The Bread:
Metropolis Baking Company bakes bread with old-fashioned, old-world values using
only the finest flours, ingredients and processes available. We take longer to make
breads, letting the flavors of the flours fully develop before baking. We are also very
proud of the ingredients that are not in our breads:
No dairy products, sugars, or fats*
No preservatives
No artificial ingredients
No dough conditioners

Metropolis Baking Company takes great care to create loaves that we can be proud of and that will please and nurture you each day.

*There are a couple of MBC products that contain sugar (Polynesian Brand Bread.) We do use olive oil in some breads and croutons: Please contact us for specific ingredient lists.
