Craving a bakery experience that's truly one-of-a-kind? Look no further than Bread Bandits! This thrilling new addition to Sarasota's culinary landscape is nestled at the vibrant crossroads of Osprey Avenue and Siesta Drive. Helmed by the baking genius of Jules Thuet and Brad Rutledge, Bread Bandits serves up a medley of delights like croissants, quiches, and baguettes, all meticulously crafted on-site each day. Their signature sourdough is a veritable masterpiece of baking. With Thuet's rich family bakery heritage and Rutledge's seasoned expertise as a head baker, every morsel is a culinary adventure.
Bread Bandits' menu is a feast for all palates! We recently had the privilege of savoring their new sandwiches for lunch, and it was a truly delectable experience. As a vegetarian, Steve couldn't get enough of the Caprese Focaccia Fior Di Latte (mozzarella), Fresh Tomatoes, Greens, Basil Pesto, and Honey Balsamic Glaze. Danielle and Georgia shared the French Cuban with Jambon De Paris, Rosemary Ham, Swiss cheese, Cornichon Pickles, Dijon, and Butter, all in a hearty baguette. And, as a grand finale, we all indulged in a heavenly Crookie, a croissant filled with cookie dough and crowned with chocolate eggs.
We give Bread Bandits a thumbs up!
