Customer Experiences
Benjamin Thorne “Growing up in upstate New York, Freihofer’s was the only bread allowed in our house, and even after moving away, nothing compares to their Premium Italian loaf. I recently used it to make French toast for my kids, and the thick slices held the custard perfectly without getting soggy, resulting in a golden-brown crust that tasted exactly like my childhood. It is more than just a loaf of bread; it is a consistent piece of home that I am glad I can still find on the shelves today.”
Elena Rodriguez “I am particularly picky about the texture of my sandwich bread, but the Stone Ground Whole Wheat has become my absolute go-to for my daily work lunches. It has a fantastic, nutty depth of flavor that complements avocado and turkey beautifully, and unlike other brands, it doesn’t fall apart the moment you add a bit of mustard or greens. You can really tell there is a long history of baking expertise behind the recipe because the quality is consistent every single time I buy a fresh bag.”
Gregory Vance “We hosted a big backyard barbecue last weekend and grabbed a few packs of the New England style hot dog rolls, and they were the undisputed stars of the grill. They have that perfect split-top design that makes them easy to toast with a little butter, and they held our heavy loaded chili dogs without any mess or tearing. My guests kept asking if I had gone to a boutique bakery, and they were shocked when I told them these were the same classic Freihofer’s rolls they’ve seen for years.”
Freihofer's FAQ
Where can I purchase Freihofer’s products if I live outside the Northeast?
While our roots and primary availability remain in the U.S. Northeast—specifically across New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania—our products are also distributed through major retailers like Target and regional grocery chains. If you are outside our core delivery area, we recommend checking the “Bakery” section of national grocery delivery apps to see if shipping is available to your zip code.
Are Freihofer’s breads suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet?
Most of our core bread products, including the Premium Italian and Large White varieties, are vegetarian-friendly as they do not contain meat by-products. Many of our water-based breads are also vegan, though we always recommend checking the specific ingredient label on the back of the package for allergens like honey, milk, or eggs which may be present in specialty items.
How should I store my bread to keep it fresh for as long as possible?
To maintain the soft texture of our sliced breads, it is best to store the loaf at room temperature in a cool, dry place, ensuring the plastic bag is tightly sealed after every use. We strongly advise against refrigerating your bread, as the cold temperature can actually accelerate the staling process; however, if you won’t finish the loaf within a few days, our bread freezes beautifully for up to three months.
What is the best way to enjoy Freihofer’s Chocolate Chip Cookies?
While they are delicious straight out of the box, many of our longtime fans recommend “The Microwave Trick”—heating a small stack of cookies for about 5 to 10 seconds. This softens the chocolate chips and recreates that warm, fresh-from-the-bakery aroma that has made these cookies a household staple since the early 20th century.
