The Bread Basket Bakery

Ashley Dingeman December 6, 2011November 8, 2017

The Bread Basket is one of those gems in Saratoga that doesn’t get
enough attention. A block from Broadway, it’s a quaint
little bakery with some delicious treats and sandwiches.

My personal
favorite? Angela’s Apples. Maple honey turkey, cheddar cheese, apple
slices, and sprouts with homemade cranberry mustard served on potato
bread. It’s refreshing and flavorful, the perfect combination to cure
those work-day blues!
I wish I had pictures, but a sandwich is a
sandwich, and a picture could only capture so much. Take my
word for it, this place is where it’s at. The best part… they will make you a sandwich at 8:30am, on the way to work. How fantastic is that?

If you’re not in the mood for a
sandwich and would prefer something sweet, it’s called The Bread Basket Bakery for a reason! They have amazing cupcakes, pies, cakes, cookies… pretty much
anything you could ever want. You could order just a portion for
yourself, or a whole order for the holidays. It’s time to switch it up and try The Bread Basket.

New Look And Tastes At 51 Front

My name is Ashley Dingeman and I am in love with food. A recent SUNY Geneseo graduate and Saratoga Springs native, it has always been a dream of mine to have the opportunity to do the two things I do best: eat & write. Just like in a Disney movie, I guess dreams really do come true.

First off, can I just say that my passion for food goes way beyond simply loving to eat. For some, eating is eating and food is food, but to me, it’s so much more. Every element of the food experience, I love.

Perhaps the profound effects of growing up in an Italian family have rubbed off on me. If there was one thing I learned in the process, it was that food brings people together, and where there’s food, there’s family. No, I didn’t grow up in The Olive Garden, but I did grow up privileged to have an incredible Grandmother, and the best cook I’ve ever known. To this day no one will ever be able to replicate her Sunday “gravy”, even though all grandchildren have come close (and some closer than others [me]). It was she who inspired me to begin cooking in the first place, and it is in her honor that I continue on in hopes of inspiring others the same way.

So I invite you now to revel in my words, devour my descriptions, fantasize over my photographs, and maybe just maybe, you’ll be move enough to go out and try something for yourself. Project “Eat Your Heart Out” starts now.
