Atria Bread and Coffee has been slinging its homemade loaves of bread at various markets and pop-ups throughout Manatee County for some time now. This upcoming year it will finally have its own storefront at 4120 Lakewood Ranch Blvd. in Lakewood Ranch, which rests between Bradenton and Sarasota.

Although a projected opening date has not been determined, Atria is currently hiring bakers and baristas, so a grand-opening is in the near future. Alongside its signature baked goods, other small bites and various espresso beverages will be offered at this new cafe location. 

Some of its recent artisan loaves of bread include cardamom and saffron buns, holiday loaves packed with cherries, cranberries, apricots, and house candied mandarins, and homemade Hawaiin rolls. Atria specializes in naturally-risen dough which can take days to make a single loaf of bread. 

Atria Bread and Coffee’s operating hours will be 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.
