Bordenave's history began in 1918, when Frank Bordenave arrived
in the United States from France where he worked as a baker. Frank
opened a bakery that was then called Parisian on B Street in San
Rafael. In 1928, when these pictures were taken, Frank moved his
bakery to 1553 Fourth Street. Not far from where the Bordenave's
bakery resides today at 1512 Fourth Street. |

During the Depression, Frank decided that he would shift his focus
from baking cakes and pastries to specializing in baking quality bread
products. His bread was so delicious that it soon became his main
product. He used his artistic ability as a pastry chef and began to
create a very large variety of different kinds of breads. Since his
passing, this wide selection of breads have continued to increase
dramatically to the large selection found at Bordenave's today.

their recipes.The original
brick ovens were replaced
by more modern ones in
the 1970's. The original
