Lithuanian Bakery

I live on the other side of Nebraska (way out West, by Wyoming) and any chance someone in my family is in Omaha, we come here. My mom is there now getting our favorite bread, Lithuanian Sourdough Rye (we have called it Black Bread since we were little), and Bacon Buns for me if they have any today, plus anything else that tickles her fancy. My German Grandmother introduced this to us and would be lost without it. Love you guys!!!

Got 3 pastries (Kruschiki, peach turnover, and a piece of the Torte which the guy working there threw in for free) along w/ a sample of butter cookie (he said “oh look! I found a broken one” and proceeded to break off a cookie 🥺) and loved all of them! The balance of sweetness to butter was just right for the others, and that torte...Oh that torte...I savored every bite. Moreover, I just appreciated the fantastic customer service, which can be rare these days. From the freebies to patiently explaining all the items, the service is a big part of the reason I’ll be making this part of my regular neighborhood stops.

If you are looking for a nostalgic experience, go here. The young gentleman I met today didn’t mind staying open a little later to allow me to look through the bakery cabinet. He explained everything perfectly, giving samples and all the while making conversation. I imagine not much has changed there over the years, especially the amazing service.

This was a stop for us on the Nebraska Passport and I'm so glad we went in. The authenticity of their baked goods is amazing. You won't find a torte like this anywhere. The owner was very friendly and she spoke about the history and preparation of many of their breads and tortes. They also had several different samples of the Tortes available to try. If you purchase a loaf of bread they have an old bread slicer and they will slice the bread for you. There is a beautiful mural on the side of the building that has a scroll that depicts the Lithuanian history in Omaha.
