This neighborhood isn't ready for windows... Etcetera, etcetera. That's what we heard from anyone paying attention in 1997 when we opened our flagship store along the Cass Corridor in Detroit. Back then, there were no shiny new stadiums let along any shiny watches. There was just us, and a commitment to three things: The planet we call our home... The community we serve... And the employees we consider family. Today, with each loaf of bread we bake and every sandwich we schmear, we remain committed to those things more than ever. And whether you're peeking into those windows at our hearth, or gazing out them at the city we love, you'll still see the soul of what we do and the ingredients of who we are.

Avalon International Breads is a “right livelihood business” which means that we have three bottom lines that inform every aspect of our business.

Earth
We proudly make and serve high quality and delicious food and beverages that are fresh and sourced locally whenever possible.

Community
We aspire to create an oasis of healing and compassion in a world that is sorely in need. We support organizations and projects that create a healthier, more vibrant Detroit.

Employees
Commitment to the health and well being of our employees means fair wages, good benefits and an environment that encourages growth. By working at a “right livelihood business,” all of us at Avalon benefit from an opportunity to live a life bigger than ourselves.
