La Tour Bakehouse Information

La Tour Bakehouses humble beginnings trace back to a small Vietnamese sandwich shop in Honolulus historic Chinatown. When Thanh Lam opened the very first Ba-Le Sandwich in 1984, his vision was to offer delicious and authentic banh mi sandwiches on freshly baked bread. Unable to find a supplier that could produce the same crusty French baguettes he remembered from his youth, he learned how to bake them himself. His dedication to quality bread and a focus on customer service has spanned more than three decades and countless loaves of bread. Throughout the years, the small family business has grown to include nearly 20 Ba-Le shops, a thriving wholesale business, presence at numerous farmers markets and five La Tour Cafe concepts on Oahu. Due to the tremendous growth and success of the wholesale operations, Thanh and his two sons decided that a new name would better encompass the range of products offered. La Tour Bakehouse was introduced in 2011 and reflects the artisan techniques used by executive pastry chef Rodney Weddle. La Tour Bakehouse is dedicated to hand-crafting the finest baked goods, made locally everyday with the best ingredients.
