Since 1891, Heitzman has been shaped by generations of bakers, decorators, and family members working side by side. Today, we continue that tradition with hands-on baking, beloved recipes, and bakery favorites that have become part of Louisville celebrations for generations.
For more than a century, Heitzman has been built around the same idea: make good food with care, serve people well, and carry the tradition forward. Five generations later, our family is still part of the work every day.

One of Heitzman’s most distinctive specialties, rooted in our bakery’s long tradition.

A longtime Heitzman favorite with light cake, strawberries, and whipped cream.

Hate it? Well, it's because you have not had ours. Made with Maker's Mark Bourbon, you cannot miss this.

Traditional German licorice cookies with a history that reflects the heritage of the bakery.

A Southern Classic, still made like it was back in 1891.

Heitzman took on Dooley's legacy over 10 years ago, and you can still find us making their bagels fresh every morning.
