Artisan Bread Gallery opens second location, expands sourdough menu and seating

Artisan Bread Gallery’s new Cy-Fair location at 10602 FM 1960 gives the bakery something the original Windfern Road shop never tried to be: a place to sit down, stay awhile and turn a loaf run into lunch. The second site soft-opened on March 2, 2026, near Jones Road and FM 1960, and it expands the operation from a grab-and-go bakery into a more café-like stop with dine-in seating, coffee and a larger menu.

That shift matters because it suggests the bread business has already proven more than a one-off following. Artisan Bread Gallery was founded in Cy-Fair on Windfern Road by Oksana Ramotowski and Krzysztof Ramotowski, a Polish couple with more than 25 years of baking experience. The pair also met while working at Fireking Baking Company more than 13 years ago, a detail that helps explain why the bakery’s growth reads less like a trendy expansion and more like a steady, craft-driven build.

The bakery’s core appeal remains the bread itself. Artisan Bread Gallery has built its reputation on handcrafted European sourdough breads made from scratch with no preservatives, a pitch that fits the expectations of shoppers looking for flour, water, salt and fermentation to do the heavy lifting. During the soft opening, the shop was offering European sourdough and bagels, and its broader lineup has included French baguettes, jalapeño bread, cranberry raisin walnut bread, rosemary focaccia, country sourdough bread and Polish doughnuts.

The second location also gives Oksana Ramotowski room to push beyond the bread case. After the grand opening, the bakery planned to add salads, soups and more sandwiches, turning sourdough into the anchor for a fuller lunch-and-snack destination. In a suburban market crowded with dining choices, that is the real story behind the new shop: Artisan Bread Gallery appears to have convinced enough customers that naturally leavened bread can carry not just a bakery, but a second front door.
