Transform Your Smile, Transform Your Life
Gaston's Bakery is a premier bakery and flour mill located in Boise, Idaho, with a rich history dating back to 2001. Founded by Mathieu Choux, a French baker from Burgundy, Gaston's Bakery has evolved into a national brand, renowned for its high-quality, artisanal breads and croissants. With a commitment to using only the finest ingredients, locally sourced whenever possible, Gaston's Bakery has established itself as a leader in the artisanal baking industry.
Our Story
Mathieu Choux's journey began in 2001, when he opened Le Cafe de Paris in downtown Boise, offering fresh croissants, breads, and a full daily dine-in menu. The cafe quickly gained popularity, and in response to the demand from local restaurants, Gaston's Bakery expanded its wholesale baking options in 2006. Mathieu closed Le Cafe de Paris and focused exclusively on Gaston's Bakery, catering to the Treasure Valley.
In recent years, Mathieu took his expertise to the next level by establishing a flour mill on-site. This mill uses a specialized UNIFINE mill to process local wheat, maintaining the integrity of the flour and producing a high-quality, nutritious product. Gaston's Bakery remains committed to using locally sourced ingredients, supporting the local community.
