Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop is a small artisan bakery located in the heart of South Addition, one of Anchorage Alaska's oldest neighborhoods, just south of downtown. Our line of baked goods include crusty, traditional breads, sweet and savory croissants and scones, hearty muffins, fresh baked cookies, frosted cakes, tarts, multi-grain granola, a variety of daily sandwiches, and holiday specialties. We proudly brew organic, fairly traded coffee and tea.

Jerry's love of baking began as a hobby—a passion for cooking that he indulged in his off-hours. After retiring as Alaska's Director of State Parks, Jerry spent a year training at the san francisco Baking Institute, where his passion for baking truly took off.

Janis shares her husband Jerry's passion for food and the culinary arts. Janis toured the country, studying bakeries around America, and discovered what works and what doesn't as well as what styles and tastes they most enjoyed.

Fire Island has an incredible team of bakers. Their bakers have trained at some of America's finest culinary programs, such as the Culinary Instittute of America at Greystone. They continue to train talented Alaskans in the craft of artisan baking through on-site training as well as distance courses.
