About

In 1986 George Kempinski, Chester and Helen’s son, took over the bakery. Although times had changed since the 1940’s, George was determined to run the business with the same values and business practices that the Kempinski family was known for. The old-world recipes for their signature products, Nut Roll and Poppy Seed Roll, are the same and have stood the testament of time. These delicious pastry products are still packed with the finest ingredients like California grown walnuts and freshly ground (not canned) blue poppy seed. Every item is carefully hand-rolled and comes out of the oven with a homemade taste and texture that even after 60 years has no rival. Each customer, on every order, continues to receive the “like-family” attention that was started by Chester and Helen years ago. And while pricing cannot be as it was in the 1940’s, the Kempinski’s continue to make their incredibly delicious signature products at prices one might say are old-fashioned.
