The loaves are gigantic and the dark rye bread is moist and delicious. It's no wonder that customers journey from all over the city to get their hands on Silver Bell's bread.

But it's not just the bread that keeps customers coming back. Silver Bell also offers a variety of sweet breads and pastries, including babkas and other European treats.
