French Meadow Bakery Cafe & Bluestem Bar
Celebrating Over 35 Years
Farm-to-Table Pioneer
French Meadow Bakery & Cafe has been a pioneer and advocate for organic, farm-to-table cuisine since we began in 1985.
We have longstanding relationships with over a dozen local farms that supply our restaurants with fresh, organically grown, humane, and sustainably farmed vegetables, herbs, meats, flours, eggs, and dairy products.

Signature Organic Bakery
French Meadow's legacy is our famous organic bakery, founded by owner Lynn Gordon in 1985, the first organically-certified bakery in the country.
We maintain that tradition in our on-site bakery, where every day we are baking the signature organic yeast-free breads served in our restaurants, as well as an array of delicious desserts, including indulgent gluten-free & vegan specialties. Check out our dessert menu where there's something luscious for everyone.
