House of Breads in Wheeling

A new bakery, House of Breads, has opened in a strip mall in Wheeling. It's a small bakery with no seating of any kind; a purely retail business. They specialize in eastern European breads, particularly rye breads. At our visit, they had about 6 kinds of rye breads, a multi-grain, a cranberry walnut and a ciabatta (with poppy seeds).

We bought the Bavarian rye, which was good. It was clearly very fresh. Although they have just a few sweets on hand, I purchased a poppy seed and raisan sweet roll of some kind (didn't get the name) that was outstanding.

Here's an article about them: http://www.pioneerlocal.com/barrington/entertainment/1836678,entertainment-nwlake-tablehopping-102209-s1.article

This place is probably quite out of the way for most of you, but if you're a fan of eastern European breads, it's probably worth checking out. They are open Saturday and Sunday.
