Pick an era and stick to it

A 1950s diner bakery, a Victorian tea room and a French boulangerie each need a different feel. Match the name to your decor, menu and packaging.

Borrow from real old objects

Butter churns, flour sacks, pie safes and brass bells feel vintage instantly, and the words are free for anyone to use.

Say foreign words correctly

If you choose a French or Italian name, check the meaning and accents and practice saying it. Customers will repeat it the way you do.

Check before you print

Search trademarks, business registries and domains. Cozy bakery names are popular, so keep two or three backups.
