Welcome to Jax Bread Co.: Jacksonville’s Home for Authentic Artisan Baking
At Jax Bread Co., we believe that great bread isn’t just food—it’s a craft. Founded in 2012, our local artisan bakery was born from a simple mission: to bring the time-honored traditions of European and New York baking to the heart of Jacksonville.
We don’t take shortcuts. We don’t use preservatives. We just use simple, high-quality ingredients and a lot of patience to create the rustic flavors our community has come to love. Whether you’re stopping by for a gourmet breakfast sandwich or picking up a loaf of our signature sourdough, you’re tasting a decade of dedication in every bite.
Our Passion: The Best Bagels in the Bold City
There’s a reason we were Voted Best Bagels in Jacksonville by the Florida Times-Union in 2022. While many shops ship in frozen dough from out of state, Jax Bread Co. remains the only artisan bakery in the city making authentic, NY-style bagels entirely from scratch.
The Jax Bread Co. Difference:
- Hand-Rolled: Every bagel is shaped by hand, giving it that perfect, traditional texture.
- 48-Hour Cold Cure: We slow-proof our dough for two full days to develop a complex flavor you won’t find anywhere else.
- Boiled & Baked: We follow the traditional NY method to ensure a shiny, crisp crust and a chewy, airy interior.
- New for 2026: Don’t miss our new Stuffed Bagels—the ultimate portable gourmet treat.
Meet “Ashanti”: The Heart of Our Sourdough
The soul of our bakery lives in a jar. Our French-style sourdoughs are powered by Ashanti, our 14-year-old Levain starter. Over the last decade, Ashanti has developed a robust, tangy profile that gives our bread its distinct “old-world” character.
We use this ripe Levain to hand-craft a rotating variety of rustic loaves, including:
- The Classics: Old Fashioned Sourdough & Olive.
- Savory Favorites: Jalapeño Cheddar & Sweet Potato.
- Sweet Treats: Double Chocolate & Raisin Walnut.
Baked with Integrity
In a world of mass-produced, frozen bread filled with additives, we choose a different path. We bake with integrity. From our gourmet omelets and French toast to our signature lunch sandwiches, everything is prepared in-house with the same care we give our sourdough.
When you eat at Jax Bread Co., you aren’t just supporting a local business; you’re enjoying bread the way it was meant to be made.
