Resch’s Bakery

For generations of Ohio families, the phrase “the best bakery in Columbus” has been synonymous with one name: Resch’s Bakery. Established in 1912 by German immigrants Wilhelm and Frank Resch, this institution has spent over a century perfecting the craft of classic American and European baking. Resch’s is one of the Buckeye State’s most treasured culinary landmarks, steeped in a tradition that spans six generations of family ownership. Their simple, unwavering motto, "Quality is our best product," has cemented their status as a go-to for everything from daily breakfast treats to the grandest wedding cakes.

The story of Resch’s is a deeply local one, connecting the community through food and nostalgia. This bakery specializes in scratch-made recipes that have stood the test of time, proudly making all their goods fresh daily. As customer testimonials often attest, their products are more than just food; they are tied to cherished family memories—from being sent on a bike for a sheet of rolls in the 70s to ordering a birthday cake that has graced every family celebration for decades.

In a significant and exciting move for the Central Ohio area, Resch’s Bakery is concentrating its operations into a spacious new facility located in Gahanna. This expansion is designed to allow the beloved bakery to increase production, streamline its services, and continue serving the community for another century, all while maintaining the commitment to those cherished, decades-old recipes.

The new, primary location for Resch’s Bakery is situated at 150 N Hamilton Rd, Gahanna, OH 43230, USA.

This location marks a major upgrade and expansion, providing a larger, more efficient space for both the extensive production facilities and the welcoming retail storefront. The move from their former location on Livingston Avenue to this new hub in Gahanna is a strategic step to meet the ever-growing demand from loyal customers and to allow for potential new menu offerings in the future.

Crucially for the convenience of all Ohio patrons, the bakery’s new location has been designed with accessibility in mind. It provides a much-needed larger parking area that includes a Wheelchair accessible parking lot. This feature ensures that the process of picking up a massive sheet cake or a dozen highly sought-after donuts is easy and stress-free for every customer. Whether you are rushing in for a Quick visit to grab a coffee and a donut or collecting a large custom order, the Gahanna location prioritizes easy access and efficient service.

Resch’s Bakery, in its capacity as a full-service, generational bakery, offers a comprehensive suite of services focused entirely on quality baked goods:

• Full Daily Bakery Service: Offering a vast selection of fresh-baked goods daily, including classic donuts, breakfast pastries, breads, cookies, and specialty desserts, all made from scratch.

While the bakery may utilize online resources and social media for updates, direct contact with the new location for specific order details is recommended.

Choosing Resch’s Bakery is worth choosing for the unmatched blend of rich history, deep-seated family tradition, and consistently superb quality that you simply cannot find in a chain store. For Ohio residents, selecting Resch's means choosing a piece of Columbus history for your table.

It is worth choosing for the quality of the products alone. Where else can you find a Granny Roll that has been perfected over six generations, or a custom birthday cake whose recipe dates back to the early 1900s? The fact that a multi-generational bakery is still thriving and expanding to a new, larger location on 150 N Hamilton Rd in Gahanna speaks volumes about its enduring value to the community.

Furthermore, the dedication to customer convenience—accepting Credit cards and Debit cards, offering easy Takeout, and providing a Wheelchair accessible parking lot at the new facility—demonstrates their commitment to remaining the accessible, local favorite for everyone. By choosing Resch’s, you are not just buying a donut; you are participating in an Ohio tradition that has delighted families for over 110 years, ensuring that the warm aroma of fresh-baked goodness continues to fill Central Ohio for generations to come.
