OUR SOURDOUGH IS BUILT DIFFERENT

Rye Goods is an organic sourdough bakery and deli living in each season. Using ingredients as indicators of time to let us know where we are at in the year. We work with small farm west coast heritage grains to make our sourdough breads and pastry, highlighting the importance of local fruits and vegetables.

The name Rye Goods comes from our 18 year old all rye sourdough culture, the backbone of our doughs. Nicknamed — Wynona Ryeder, we just wouldn’t have a bakery without her.

Humble Garage Beginnings

Rye Goods, owned by pastry chef Sara Lezama , was founded in a garage in 2016. Eventually growing to be too big to stay under the radar, we took steps landing first in a commercial kitchen roughing it tirelessly through a pandemic and ultimately building our first home at the current Lido Newport location.

Our locations have it all: the atmosphere, the relationships, and the absolute best team. It feels as though we’ve found our rhythm here and real clarity in the pace of hard work. Every day we show up to start from scratch — mise en place ready, the push, the pull and the rolling of dough having full confidence in each other. We cheer up the everyday menu and connect farmers to chefs and chefs to the community.
