By the Way Bakery

By the Way Bakery was founded in 2010 by Helene, a former intellectual property and media attorney with over two decades of experience at NBC, Bloomberg, Readers Digest, and Audible.com. After leaving her legal career, Helene dedicated herself to creating a bakery that combines high-quality, gluten-free, and dairy-free baked goods with a commitment to community connection. The first location opened in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, in 2011, and the company has since expanded to four retail shops, including two in New York City and one in Greenwich, Connecticut. The bakery operates a 16,000-square-foot commissary that supplies products to 100 Whole Foods stores, 440+ Sprout Farmers Markets, and other national retailers. Helenes focus on authenticity, rigorous experimentation, and refusal to compromise on taste have made the bakery a beloved local staple and a nationally recognized brand.

The companys team of 85 employees continues to innovate while maintaining the handmade quality that defines its offerings. By the Way Bakerys Kosher Pareve certification ensures adherence to strict dietary standards, supervised by OK Kosher Certification at its commissary. The bakerys expansion into wholesale distribution demonstrates its ability to scale while preserving the artisanal integrity of its products. Helenes transition from corporate law to food entrepreneurship reflects a deep commitment to creating experiences that bring people together through exceptional baked goods. Today, the bakery serves as a testament to the power of reinvention and the enduring appeal of locally crafted, inclusive treats.
