In 1993, we opened our bakery with the goal of bringing to Philadelphia the amazing breads we had tasted in Europe. And after 15 years, our bread is still hand shaped and baked using centuries-old techniques. Most of the products in our stores are made by local farmers, cheesemakers and chefs also trying to preserve artisan traditions.
Please feel free to contact us at any time. We love hearing from you… your suggestions continue to shape what you see on our shelves.
Thank you for your interest, and enjoy.
Attention Metro retailers! Visit us in New York on June 28-30 at the 2009 Fancy Food Show in the Javits Center. Stop by Booth 959 to try our new whole grain granola flavors. Also, check out our new point of sale displays.

Our addictive whole grain granola, which has been wowing customers and press for 15 years, now has a brother and sister! The Metro granola “family” has expanded to include Coffee Chocolate Chip and the nut-free Pomegranate Cinnamon. Head baker James Barrett, who makes the granola by hand in our Fishtown bakery, was inspired by the mocha coffee he drinks every afternoon and his new obsession with antioxidant rich fruits like pomegranate and goji berries. Available in 2 and 12 ounces. Click here to order via our online store. (Are you a retailer? Learn more about our wholesale program here.).
We wanted to let you know about a new web site called Locallectual.com. The Philadelphia section features great local companies like Sweetwater Valley Cheese, Betty’s Tasty Buttons, (which we sell at Metro), Vinylux Design, and the Rhyne Clock company (not to mention a certain artisan bakery ;-) Check it out at www.locallectual.com and happy shopping!

Scott and Marissa from Philadelphia’s Fork You TV recently ventured outside of their studio at Foster’s to visit James at the bakery. The shenanigans can be viewed here.
