After a serious health scare and a long recovery, Lyubov discovered that sourdough was one of the few foods that made her feel better. What started as a personal journey in 2023 soon became a passion for sharing real, nourishing bread with others. Working from her home kitchen with just a regular oven, she began baking for family and friends, pouring her heart into every loaf. Their love and encouragement didn't just fill her with joy—it inspired her to dream bigger and take the next step toward something extraordinary.
The Expansion - Beyond the Home Kitchen
Lyubov's Journey
As word spread and demand grew, Lyubov quickly outgrew her home kitchen. What had begun as small batches for loved ones was becoming something the whole community wanted to be part of. That's when she and her husband knew it was time to find a proper space where she could share her healing bread with even more people. After searching throughout San Diego, they discovered the perfect spot in the heart of downtown—a space that would soon become Shoreside Bakery.
The Builder - Crafted by Hand
Labor of Love
With his construction background and unwavering dedication, Lyubov's husband rolled up his sleeves to transform their vision into reality. Day after day, after finishing his regular job, he would head downtown to build the bakery by hand—every shelf, every counter, every detail crafted with the same care that goes into the bread. Now, Shoreside Bakery stands as a labor of love, where every loaf is made with care, gratitude, and the belief that good food has the power to heal and bring people together.
