Albemarle Baking Company

Since its founding in 1995 by Gerry Newman and Millie Carson, Albemarle Baking Company has been a cornerstone of Charlottesville’s culinary scene. Originally located on the Downtown Mall, the bakery’s popularity led to a move in 2001 to the bustling Main Street Market, where it continues to thrive today.

What began as a small operation with just three employees has grown into a team of over 20 skilled bakers and staff, all dedicated to crafting high-quality baked goods. Open Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 5 PM, Albemarle Baking Company offers a wide range of treats, including items for wholesale and online ordering.

Seasonal offerings, such as their Thanksgiving pre-order menu, ensure you can bring something special to your holiday table. Whether you’re picking up a crusty loaf of bread, a decadent cake, or a delicate pastry, Albemarle Baking Company’s commitment to quality and tradition shines through every bite.
