This is not your typical grocery store bread.

Bet’a Bread in Clarks Summit bakes up fresh, European-style artisanal breads using only the best natural ingredients. Visiting their store on South State Street is a feast for the senses. First, the breads, with their lacquered appearance look like fine, little sculptures. Then there is the smell – a comforting journey back to your grandmother’s kitchen. And finally, the taste. These breads are perfect. From the chewy crust to the pillowy center of the loaf, the accumulated science of breadmaking spills out before you in perfect harmony with a natural artistry. And together they conduct a symphony for the taste buds, gracefully striking each note.

You can get your bread sweet like the Pecan Raisin or the Cinnamon Raisin. Or you can go for a more robust, savory loaf like the Olive Bread or the Cocoa-Caraway Rye. Either way, you’re never going to forget the experience, and you’ll be back.

And when you do go back, give one of their deli sandwiches a try. Choose your favorite bread, meat and cheese and they’ll make it right then and there. And that’s the name of the game at Bet’a Bread — simple and fresh.
