New Delray Baking Company

Thus far, this bakery has been very loyal to The Rockery, and our Gourmet Grilled Cheese Sandwiches wouldn’t be the same without their custom craftsmanship.

This small bakery is so close to Eureka that you can still see it from the street.
Hours are quirky but they do put a sign in the window announcing «Hot Rolls». Nothing is so good as hot bread! The pepperoni rolls are even better hot! Yum!
They have Italian bread, Greek bread, Vienna bread, Marble bread, Egg Bread, dinner rolls, etc. Day old bread is sold at a discount. Everything is reasonably priced and smells lovely!
Some times they have strudel and dessert items, but those are baked off-​premises.
The same bread is available at Kroger’s and other retail accounts, but if you live nearby, try to get it fresh! It makes a difference!

HEY ANTHONY, DINNER!!!
I turned five years old when I walked in the door and smelled all of those loaves of bread being baked. My mouth was watering. I tasted the butter slathered on a slice of bread. I tasted the glass of Chianti on my lips (just a sip). I saw my mom putting the bowl of pasta on the table. I saw my brothers and sisters in pure delight chatting up a storm at the dinner table on their daily excursions.
We used to go to the «Old“Delray bakery. We would pick up two loaves of bread and fight over the four ends. Five kids, one was always left in tears. By the time we got home one loaf was gone. No butter at all.
So once I realized, thanks to Rodger, this place was here I had to stop. Great selections of bread. On this trip I purchased the famous (to me) loaf of Italian Vienna loaf in paper sleeve (the same one as 40 years ago). It was still warm.
I ate it slice by slice until half a loaf was gone. Sorry dear, not hungry for dinner tonight. I’m in my happy place!!! I may have to make a trip here at least onece a week. Oh to be five again.
Sorry, cash only.

Along with Oakwood Baking in Detroit, New Delray produces a traditional Detroit style of hardcrust white bread, typically called Vienna bread. For many years, Vienna style bead and rolls have been the staple bread for most ethnic families in the Dearborn, Southwest Detroit, and Downriver areas.
New Delray also has a few variants like Sub Buns, Greek style thick sliced, and a «Flower Bread» made up of 6 attached round rolls arranged in a flower pattern. The bread consists of a hard golden crust, with a light and airy center. My favorite ways to eat it are Salami sandwiches, Subs, and most of all lightly toasted with Calder Dairy butter. The downside to this style of bread is that it goes stale very quickly. Eat it fast!
You can buy bread at the bakery, but the better way, according to the staff, is to buy it at Kroger Stores. The Kroger order gets hand delivered by them straight from the oven to the truck.
