Proof Bread Is Coming to Downtown Tempe

Proof Bread is opening a store in Tempe this October!

Born in a garage and raised at Arizona’s farmers markets, Proof Bread has grown into one of the Valley’s most beloved artisan bakeries, and it’s now coming to Tempe.

Proof is built on a simple promise: real bread, made the old way: no shortcuts, no commercial yeast, just flour, water, salt, and time. Every loaf begins with heritage grains grown by local farmers, stone-milled in-house, and naturally leavened with Harriet, their 15-year-old sourdough starter.

This long fermentation process not only creates incredible flavor but also makes bread easier to digest, unlocks nutrients, and supports gut health. Whole grains provide fiber and minerals, while the natural fermentation helps the body absorb them more effectively. It’s bread that nourishes as much as it delights.

Family-run and community-driven, Proof has become known for crusty sourdough loaves, buttery and flaky croissants, and seasonal creations that honor both tradition and Arizona agriculture. Their mission goes beyond food, they’re creating spaces where families can slow down, share a meal, and connect over craftsmanship.

Tempe, your table is ready. Fresh, flavorful, and genuinely good for you, Proof Bread is here!
