Edgewood Park Farmers Market Sundays 10-1 ~ Downright Breads is where the magic of sourdough comes alive! Everything we bake—from our classic breads and delicious cookies to our scones, donuts, and biscuits—is made with our signature sourdough starter.

Hi! My name is Soli—the heart and hands behind Downright Breads! 
 
I’m a lifelong resident of New Haven and graduate of Wilbur Cross High School (2010). I began my career in the local hospitality industry and received my certificate in International Baking and Pastry Arts from Lincoln Culinary Institute. 
 
After completing a baking internship at Disney World, I returned home and earned the title of Head Baker at Scratch Baking in Milford, CT. There, I honed my skills baking all kinds of breads and pastries, managed a commercial kitchen, and worked alongside some incredible professionals in the industry. It was a deeply rewarding chapter in my career. 
 
Today, I work in the kitchens at Yale and SCSU, and in my free time I bring you Downright Breads straight from my family kitchen. I am so excited to share this new adventure with you as I dream up new—and downright delicious—baked goods, give back to the New Haven community, and work toward my goal of securing a commercial bakery license! 
 
Thanks for being a part of my journey!
