Naturally fermented breads and distinctive European bakes, made in small batches for local preorder and delivery.
The Rhine & Rye collection
Breakfast Brötchen are available now. The rest of the collection is taking shape for future bakes, with the same care for flavor, fermentation, and texture.
Crisp morning rolls
A thin, crackling golden crust gives way to a light, tender center. These gently fragrant German breakfast rolls are made for tearing open while the morning is still quiet.
Lovely with butter and your favorite jam.
German country bread
A well-browned rye-and-wheat crust, a moist, close-textured center, and the deep aroma of slowly fermented grain. A satisfying country loaf with enough character to make an everyday slice memorable.
For generous sandwiches or a slice beside soup.
Long-baked rye
Deeply malty rye and a gentle, rounded sweetness developed through a long, slow bake. Thin slices reveal a dense, moist mosaic of rye grain, with a flavor that lingers.
Slice thinly for butter, cheese, or savory toppings.
Swiss honey and spice biscuits
Fragrant honey, almonds, warm spice, and bright candied citrus beneath a fine sugar glaze. These small Swiss biscuits have a firm, satisfying bite and a lingering honey-spice finish.
A little something special with coffee or tea.
Spelt and toasted walnuts
Toasted walnuts bring a rich, rounded flavor to gently nutty spelt. Beneath the burnished crust, a supple, naturally fermented crumb holds tender walnut pieces and a quiet sweetness from the grain.
Especially good with cheese or lightly toasted.
Dense Nordic-style seeded spelt bread
Nutty spelt and toasted sunflower seeds baked into a dense, moist loaf with a deeply browned, seed-studded crust. Each thin slice has a close, naturally uneven crumb and a rich, gently toasted flavor.
Slice thinly for butter, cheese, or open-faced sandwiches.
The signature rye
Roasted apple brings mellow orchard sweetness to aromatic rye, toasted sunflower kernels, and browned butter. A subtle touch of caraway lifts the flavor, while a chestnut crust gives way to a moist, tender slice.
Delicious toasted, or alongside a sharp aged cheese.
Baked in limited quantities. Current availability is shown when ordering.

From Heidelberg to Virginia
Rhine & Rye grew from years spent in Heidelberg and a lasting affection for the bakeries woven into daily German life: crisp morning rolls, deeply flavored rye breads, restrained sweets, and craft that never needs to shout.
Here in Virginia, those traditions become something contemporary—thoughtful, distinctive breads and bakes made for the people who live here now.
