Elm Street, a locally owned whole foods
bakery/café, opened about four years ago, specializing in foods that can be
made in its unique wood-fired oven.
Local residents Jay and Kim DePerno are the owners Elm Street. They returned from Paris with memories of a bakery and a dream to own one of their own. They turned a rundown office supply store into a town mainstay for bread and pastries.
Elm Street is a two-story café with available seating on both floors, and windows just about everywhere. The café also serves alcoholic beverages; there is a wide selection of bottled and draft beer, cider, and wine.
Elm Street is best known for its tasty breads and pizzas. Bakers make an assortment of breads and pizzas that are served fresh daily. Not only does Elm Street make its own bread, but also its own butter.
Elm Street uses meat, vegetables, and fruit, which are all purchased locally. It also sells a lot of food made from scratch, including crème fraiche, ricotta, pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, preserved citrus; and even roasts its own coffee.
Until March of last year, Elm Street was only open for breakfast and lunch. “Extending our hours and expanding our menu for dinner was a challenge, but it certainly worked out to our advantage,” Jay DePerno said. Dinner has brought in more revenue than the couple expected.
“I’ve been working here on and off since the day we opened and I couldn’t imagine working anywhere else,” said employee Addie Ohler. “I honestly look forward to coming home on school breaks and coming back to work. My favorite thing about working at a café in a small town is all of the regulars that I meet and get to know.” Ohler works behind the counter, cashing our customers and catering to their needs.
The price range includes appetizers and small plates from $4 to $13; pizzas from $8 to $16; and large plates from $25 to $34.
Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday; 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday; and closed on Sundays.
Elm Street is located on 72 Elm St, in the village of East Aurora. They can be reached by email through their website, elmstreetbakery.com, or by phone at 652-4720. Reservations are only made for parties consisting of six or more.
