Once Upon a Time in 1927...

Joseph Zaro emigrated from Eastern Europe to New York City. He had big dreams, little means but full of boundless determination to succeed. Joseph opened the first Zaro's Family Bakery in the Bronx which soon became a neighborhood staple, well known for delicious baked goods and a family first experience.

In the 1950's, Joseph passed the business on to his sons, Phil and William. Enterprising young upstarts, they grew the business - and its reputation - throughout the New York area. In 1977,  they opened in Grand Central Terminal, which has become the flagship bakery and where Zaro's made a name for themselves from their reliability and quality in the hustle and bustle of New York City.

Now, in their 11th decade of operations, they continue to rely on old world recipes that have defined their family and business for four generations, making things from scratch, focusing first and foremost on craft and quality.
