Story

January 1951 a 16 year old baker fresh from his apprenticeship in Berlin arrived in New York City. The story of Geraldine's Bakery begins...after a stint as a US Marine, marriage to Miss Geraldine herself, a native of North Carolina, three children and twenty years working for other family bakeries, Karl Ernst Dehlow (Big 'E') opened his first bakery in Massapequa, New York. Ten years later he purchased and successfully ran Cheesecake King in Commack, Long Island, NY.


His eldest son Frederick Dehlow worked with his father from the age of 14, just like dad. He too is a veteran of the US Navy and upon discharge he became Yum Yum Bakery's main finisher, bench man, bread baker, mixer....what folks today consider a Master Baker. Fred helped Big 'E' manage Cheesecake King for twenty years until 2004 when they decided it was time to close the doors. Everyone was tired and worn out.

2013 with flour and sugar running through his veins, Fred decided to move south and open Geraldine's Bakery in honor of both his parents.

Many of our recipes originated from Big 'E's little black book written in code (yes this is true!) and at times difficult to decipher. Fred knows the key!

When you step into Geraldine's you ARE stepping back into the neighborhood bakery of your childhood. All scratch-made pastries, danish, donuts, bread, bagels, cakes, buttercream....no mixes here.

"I became a baker because I saw the lines of people waiting for a loaf of bread paying with all the money they had....this was during and (directly) after the war (WW II) in Bremen. We were starving, cold and had no place to live. I said to myself.....if I become a baker I will always be warm, shoveling that coal into the ovens, and I will always have something to eat." Karl Ernst Dehlow.

We love you Dad and may we honor your memory and your craft.

If you can get here early enough in the morning (as soon as they open) it's worth the trip. Great breakfast sandwiches, delicious croissants. Cinnamon danish is to die for.

This is such a hidden treasure, just north of downtown Asheville. The rolls are really great especially with fried egg, sausage, and cheese. Get there early and you will find an assortment of sweet treats. They go fast, so the later you go, the easier your decision becomes as they run out of things. The apple turnovers are to die for.

I have finally found a place for bagel sandwiches! They fry their eggs to order (instead of baked/microwaved scramble) and they make their own bagels. Super delicious. The staff is great too!

Doughnuts are out of this world, especially the Boston cream. They also have delicious breakfast sandwiches. Staff always friendly with quick service. Can't ask for more from a neighborhood bakery.
