ACQ Bread

Established in 2020, ACQ Bread Co. is an artisan bakery that gives back to its community. Our bread is made from organic wheat grown and milled in New York. We perform the highest level of bread craft to offer nutritious food to the local community and mutual aid. 

After years spent working in fine-dining kitchens, Owner and Baker Tyler Lee now applies his skillset to artisan breads.
All wheat is sourced from either GrowNYC's non-profit group, The Grainstand, or from the Farmer Ground Cooperative
ACQ Bread Co. donates over 200 loaves of fresh bread to local mutual-aid groups monthly. (And we hope to do more!)
After a year ACQ Bread Co. has a perfect record of 5-star reviews on Google.
By focusing strictly on the quality of our methods and organic ingredients, our bread showcases a unique and soulful flavor.
