Concept Story

From the First Bread on Earth

From the oldest bread in history… to your table today

More than 14,000 years ago, on the land of Jordan,
humans baked the first bread known to history—
made from wild grains and simple fire,
before agriculture… and before cities.

Today,
we bring this story back to life
with a modern spirit
and thoughtfully crafted flavors
that honor the origin
and celebrate our roots.

Jordan River Kitchen & Café
is more than a café—
it is a continuation of a story that began here,
on this land.
