We Don't Just Bake Bread. We Build It.

Every loaf at Long's Bakery is mixed, folded, and baked by hand — no shortcuts, no rush, no compromise. Precision craft from Indianapolis.

Our Story

Built on Discipline,
Served with Pride

Long's Bakery isn't a place where convenience overrides quality. Every morning, our bakers arrive hours before dawn to build each batch from scratch — measuring, mixing, fermenting, and baking with the same rigor that has defined our kitchen for years.

Located on North Tremont Street in Indianapolis, we've become a destination for people who refuse to accept mediocre bread, rushed pastries, or coffee that tastes like it was made for speed instead of flavor. We make everything the right way. That's the Long's standard.

What We Make

Our Products

Every item on our counter is made in-house, every single day. No frozen, no pre-made, no exceptions.

Golden sourdough bread with a cracked crust
Signature

Artisan Sourdough

48-hour cold-fermented sourdough with a shatteringly crisp crust and an open, tangy crumb. Our house starter is over a decade old.

Buttery flaky croissants on a marble surface

Laminated Pastries

Butter croissants, pain au chocolat, and Danish — each one hand-laminated with French-style butter and folded to 81 layers.

Rich espresso being pulled from a portafilter

Specialty Coffee

Single-origin beans, freshly roasted and pulled daily. Espresso, pour-over, cold brew — made with the same attention as our bread.

Rustic whole grain and seeded loaves on a cutting board

Heirloom Grains

Whole wheat, rye, spelt, and multi-grain loaves milled and mixed in small batches for depth of flavor and nutritional integrity.

Elegant layered cakes and celebration desserts

Custom Cakes

Celebration cakes designed and built for your event. Order ahead and we'll craft something that tastes as good as it looks.

Savory hand pies and savory pastries

Savory Bakes

Hand pies, quiches, and savory tarts made with seasonal ingredients. A proper savory option for lunch or a late snack.

The Process

How We Build It

Great bread isn't rushed. It's measured, rested, shaped, and baked with discipline at every step.

01

Measure

Every ingredient is weighed to the gram. Flour, water, salt, starter — the ratios are non-negotiable.

02

Ferment

Long, cold fermentation develops flavor, strengthens the gluten, and creates that signature open crumb.

03

Shape & Bake

Each loaf is shaped by hand and baked in deck ovens at peak temperature for maximum crust development.

04

Serve

Baked fresh, rested, and on the counter the same morning. Nothing sits overnight. Nothing is reheated.
