The Bread Butler is no longer operating. The bakery and its weekly bread delivery subscription closed permanently on 31 October 2024. When it ran, it was a local bakery and cafe serving New York's Capital Region, with a pickup counter inside Colonie Center near the movie theater entrance. Its breads rotated often, with inventive flavor combinations that changed from day to day and week to week, and customers could check a product schedule or a weekly email to see what was coming. Alongside the bread subscription, it offered pickup at the bakery, occasional pizza orders that were usually available on Fridays, and loaves stocked by a few area restaurants, including Josie's Table, Daley's on Yates, The Delaware, and Siros. The bakery was featured in the Times Union and on WTEN's Off the Beaten Path. Its website may still show ordering links, a subscription signup form, and mall opening hours, but none of this means the business is active. Do not try to order or subscribe, and avoid entering payment details on the site. Because this was a local service aimed at customers who could reach the Capital Region, shoppers looking for something similar should search for a nearby bakery that offers a bread subscription or weekly preorder pickup.
