It's close to the MLK overpass on I-71, near where the old Jewish hospital used to be, I can remember the old Melish St. from when I went to UC.

The "Bake Shop" on Melish Ave. was a sheltered workshop for many Jewish refugees from the Hitler regime, many mentally and physicaslly handicpped. In addition to its baked goods, it also had a Tea Room on the lower level which was very popular with the nurses and doctors who worked in the hospitals adjacent to the shop. It was sponsored by the Jewish Family Services, and after WW2, was closed as most of those employed had been fairly assimilated into the US culture. It had no relationship to Klosterman's or any other institution.

Default Jewish Bake Shop

I am retired in Boquete in the highlands of Panama and am fulfilling a life dream of running a small Jewish bakery. Part of my fantasy is re-creating some of the great delicacies that I enjoyed growing up in Cincinnati. I served on the board of the Jewish Bakery shortly before its demise. Many of my recipes had their beginnings in the rugelach, schnecken, coffee cakes, rye breads etc. that I enjoyed as a kid and young adult.

Right now, I am looking for any old recipe that might still be available. I can be reached at morabkin@gmailcom.

Thanks for any assistance in my search.

Not familiar with this bakery but am a bread enthusiast.

A book you may find helpful is:Inside the Jewish Bakery: Recipes and Memories from the Golden Age of Jewish Baking by Stanley Ginsberg and Norman Berg. Norman had 25 years of experience in bakeries so is helpful in a real world sort of way.

This is a link to a Youtube video showing him teaching how to correctly shape Kaiser rolls (not a fake stamped roll).

Greenstein and Maggie Gleezer are the other authors who have authored books you might find helpful.

A Blessing of Bread: The Many Rich Traditions of Jewish Bread Baking Around the World by Maggie Glezer.

Secrets of a Jewish Baker: Recipes for 125 Breads from Around the World by George Greenstein

There was also a book tracing the history of Bialy's

In 1940 - 1952 I lived at 425 Melish Ave. which was across the street from the Jewish Bakery. It had a tea room down stairs.
There were a number of Jewish folks in the area. The Rockdale Temple was on Rockdale Ave - about 8 blocks North and it was the sponsor / home of Boy Scout Troop 75. I spent my scouting years there.

Default Cincinnati Jewish Bake Shop

The bake shop you are describing sounds like the Cincinnati Jewish Bake Shop. It was on Melish and a lot of immigrants worked there. They trained immigrants, orphans, etc with the skill of baking as opposed to giving them charity. My grandmother, Sarah Golfman, was trained there and then went on to open her own bake shop.

I know that Sarah's Bake Shop was located at 680 Forest Avenue and was open minimally from 1940-1944, however, I am having difficulty finding out the name of the shop, photos, or anything else about it. If anyone has any information I would appreciate it.

I'm searching for the name of a Bake Shop located at 680 Forest Avenue in the late 1930's-early 1940's. Minimally, I'm positive it was open from 1940-44. It was owned by my grandmother, Sarah Golfman, but I don't know the name of it. Any information, photos, etc you might be able to locate for me I will be very appreciative of.
*As a kid, I always referred to it as "Golfman's Bakery", but one of my cousins says she can't remember the name, but that wasn't it!
