Bolivar Bread Bakery

Bolivar Bread Bakery is a small batch artisan bakery in uptown Harpers Ferry, known for long-fermented sourdough made with organic flour and a 42-year-old starter. The bread lineup includes Kalamata olive and rosemary, everything bagel, pickle rye and multigrain sourdough, along with classic and epi baguettes, sandwich loaves and maple butter biscuits. Pastries run from brown butter chocolate chip cookies and whole wheat brownies to gluten-free amaretti, seasonal scones and cakes, and pretzarolli.

The bakery has an open kitchen where visitors can watch the loaves being shaped. Breads are baked fresh every day and varieties can sell out, so the bakery takes orders by phone rather than through its contact form. A parking lot behind the shop makes visits easier. Bread is also sold at several markets and coffee shops around the Eastern Panhandle, and the bakery is at 914 Washington Street in Harpers Ferry.
