bakery

Where loaves emerge

A bakery is a place where bread, pastries, cakes, and other baked goods are made or sold.

The word covers everything from small neighborhood shops to large commercial operations: I stopped by the bakery for a fresh loaf.

Someone who works in or owns a bakery is a baker.
