Meet the Owners

  • Aki

    Aki

    Owner / Founder

    As a native from Germany, the things that I have really missed since living here in the U.S. are the bread, rolls, pastries and baked goods that I grew up with. Since 2010, I’ve been working to bring back memories, the taste and the smell of the freshly baked goods of my home country. I hope you enjoy.

  • Nancy

    Nancy

    Owner / Partner

    I am super excited to be partnered with Aki in Aki’s BreadHaus & WunderBar. As a former business owner in retail and wholesale businesses, I have missed the adventure of being part of something that I can create & grow while building a strong team and a people-first culture. While Aki continues to oversee the production and quality of the bakery; I have taken on the business side of the operations. We make a great team!
