Five Points Bakery opened its doors over nine years ago on Buffalo's lower west side. It began with the goal of making whole grain bread using wheat sourced only from local farms, and that work expanded into honey, milk, eggs, and other local goods. The bakery describes its approach as simple, timeless, honest, balanced, and really good, and frames its work around respect for farmers, people, buildings, neighborhoods, and ways of life.

The menu centers on toast, built on breads such as organic pumpkin, sunflower and flax seed; cinnamon swirl with bourbon vanilla icing; apple cider with St. Angel Triple Creme Brie; oatmeal with local farmhouse cheese and plum cherry jam; cinnamon raisin with walnuts; and extra sharp cheddar. Flatbread options include vegan focaccia and whole grain sourdough ciabatta. Other items include house made maple walnut granola with vanilla yogurt and honey, Vollkornbrot sourdough German rye with sauerkraut and melted raclette, multigrain with cooked wheat berries, a breakfast sandwich on a classic French soft roll with a two egg baked omelette and extra sharp cheddar, avocado toast on organic sourdough levain, an open faced egg sandwich with smoked salmon and pesto, a spicy chicken sandwich, eggs and toast, and French toast.

The bakery sits on Brayton Street in Buffalo's Five Points neighborhood. It is steps from the Balancing Act II public artwork and the Five Points neighborhood itself, about a tenth of a mile from Urban Roots garden and Public School 38, and roughly a quarter mile from Buffalo Fire Station E37/L4/4th Batt and The Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art.

Five Points Bakery has built its reputation on whole grain bread and a locally rooted menu, earning a 4.70 rating from its customers.
