Sourdough bakery in Wayne, PA
After five years of baking, delivering and sharing sourdough throughout our local community, Wild Yeast Bakehouse finally has a place to call home.
Our sourdough bakery at Eagle Village Shops in Wayne is where you can experience Wild Yeast in person: shelves filled with freshly baked sourdough, the aroma of bread coming out of the oven, locally roasted coffee, sourdough treats and a warm welcome from our team.
Whether you’re picking up your favorite loaf, trying something new or simply stopping in for coffee and a treat, we’d love to see you.

Friendly service & fantastic bakes...
"We stopped by Wild Yeast Bakehouse for the first time and were so impressed! Everything was fresh, beautifully made, and clearly crafted with care. My boys especially loved the oat porridge loaf—it was soft, flavorful, and disappeared quickly at home! The cinnamon scone was also delicious, with just the right balance of sweetness and spice. Friendly service and fantastic baked goods. See you soon!!"

What to expect
More than a bread shop
We created the Wild Yeast bakery to be more than simply somewhere to buy a loaf.
Our 1,500-square-foot bakery gives us the space to bake more bread, experiment with new ideas and – most importantly – welcome our community through the doors.
Freshly baked sourdough
Our naturally leavened sourdough is the heart of everything we do. You’ll find a changing selection of freshly baked loaves in the bakery, from familiar favorites to seasonal varieties.
Our breads are handcrafted using slow fermentation and carefully selected ingredients, including locally sourced and organic ingredients wherever possible.
We won the ‘Best New Bakery’ category of Best of the Main Line 2026!
Sourdough treats
Sourdough doesn’t have to stop at the loaf.
Alongside our breads, you’ll find a changing selection of sourdough treats such as focaccia, cookies and scones, with more ideas always bubbling away in the kitchen.
Because we work in small batches and follow the seasons, what you find on the counter may change from one visit to the next.
Coffee & a place to stay awhile
Not in a hurry? Neither is our sourdough.
Grab a cup of locally roasted Gryphon coffee or a cold drink and enjoy it with something freshly baked. We’ve created a comfortable space where you can sit, catch up with a friend or simply watch the bakery at work.
See where your bread is made
Our open kitchen brings the baking process into the heart of the space.
Breadmaking has always been a blend of art and science for us, and now you can see a little of that process for yourself — from shaping and proofing to those finished loaves coming out of the oven.
Learn, gather & connect
One of the reasons we wanted a permanent home was to create new ways of connecting with our community.
The bakery includes space for small-group workshops, guest speakers and other events. Over time, we hope to share more about naturally leavened bread, the ingredients we use and the wonderful local food community around us.

Come and say hello
Five years ago, we started with a few loaves, a home oven and an idea: that really good bread could bring people together. That idea hasn’t changed. We just have a bigger oven now!
We hope to see you in Wayne soon.
