European-style bakery to Open in Olde Towne Portsmouth

A New Day in Olde Towne

Residents have been waiting for years for a bakery to come to the Olde Towne neighborhood.  Well, the wait is almost over.  Artisans Bakery & Café is scheduled to open in mid-July 2011.

Owners Georg & Karen Seyrlehner were looking to bring a taste of Europe to Hampton Roads. Their journey started last October. To the delight of many, the two Chesapeake natives chose historic Olde Towne Portsmouth. "We just kept coming back to Old Towne and this building", stated Seyrlehner. The bakery and café will be in a Queen Anne Victorian home at 711 Washington Street, just off the downtown High Street corridor.

The couple wanted a location where they could provide high quality foods in a relaxing setting. Their dream was to open a bakery that would provide artisanal breads and pastries that they have experienced in their travels throughout Europe during their 14-year marriage. Click on the link here to read the full story about Artisans Bakery and Cafe.
