Company Overview: 

THE BREAD CLUB 

The Bread Club is a neighborhood bakery from Dallas-based hospitality group Feels Like Home (www.flho.com). Led by Peter Edris (formerly of Frenchette Bakery in NYC), The Bread Club was created to celebrate the passion of bread making and the power it has to bring people together.  

Our menu highlights artisan bread, viennoiserie, and sandwiches, all made in-house, alongside an exceptional coffee program that complements the bakery experience. Peter combines old-world French and Italian techniques with locally sourced ingredients and regionally grown grains milled fresh daily. The result is bread that’s not only delicious but also feels balanced and natural – the kind of bread you can enjoy every day.   

The Bread Club mission is to create a welcoming space where creativity flourishes, knowledge is shared, and the joy of bread brings people together.
