About Us

Inspired by a passion for baking, entrepreneurship and a need for a full line bakery in Southern Oregon, Scott and Shelley Brechtel opened Artisan Bakery Café in 2004. Offering breads, pastries, cakes, cupcakes, specialty items, breakfast, lunch, catering and a full espresso bar.
Scott Brechtel’s vast amount of experience and knowledge in baking has been a huge contribution to the success of the business. He has a Bakery Science Degree from the American Institute of Baking and has been baking for 35 years. Starting his career in Portland working in scratch shops and managing bakeries for Safeway back in the 80’s and early 90’s. He also spent several years as a Sales and Bakery Technician before moving to Southern Oregon where he purchased a Donut Shop and operated it until 2003.
Shelley Brechtel originally from Idaho, with a background in office management, farm work, traveling and a music major, teamed up with Scott Brechtel and co-created Artisan Bakery Café.
Married for over 20 years, Scott and Shelley and their two beautiful daughters Kaila and Marissa love Southern Oregon and all the beauty it has to offer. As business continues to grow and expand, our commitment to quality, fresh ingredients, community, and attention to our customers needs is always our priority.
