Bread worth crossing the river for.

Riverside Crumb Co. is a QA test bakehouse in Reading, PA. Every loaf on this page is test copy, baked fresh each morning in our imagination.

From the oven, not the freezer

Three things this test kitchen claims to do better than anyone — all of them invented for QA.

1

Baked at dawn

Test loaves leave the test oven at 6 AM sharp, so the shelf is warm when the doors open at seven.

2

Stone-hearth crust

Our imaginary stone hearth gives every test loaf a crust with real crackle and a soft, open middle.

3

Day-old deal

Yesterday's test bread is half price every morning. It is exactly as stale as you pretend it is.
