In 1978, Gayle & Joe Ortiz started a small bakery in 800 square feet, serving 10 items. Five years later, the Rosticceria, an Italian deli with a wood-burning rostisserie was added. Today, Gayle's is a thriving 10,000 square foot food emporium with two successful cookbooks and 115 employees.

Everyday, they transform the best natural ingredients like real butter, fresh eggs and organic flour into more than 500 different pastries, cakes, cookies, breads, sandwiches and entreés. Even the mayonnaise is made from scratch! Freshness in the food business can be a relative term. Here it means daily or hourly.

Like village bakeries everywhere, Gayle's is a meeting spot for locals, many of whom stop in several times a day. It is a destination for people from all over the world who love food.
