Ames can’t get enough of Ukrainian bakery
Lines wrapped around the block when Piece & Freedom Bakery opened in Ames, and a year later, the buzz hasn’t faded. This isn’t just about bread and cakes—it’s about a taste of home, resilience, and community. The owners, Ukrainian immigrants, started with a simple dream and now bake hundreds of loaves and pastries each week, introducing locals to Kyiv cake, cheese boats, and more. Their story is one of hard work, adaptation, and cultural pride. Have you tried their sourdough or heart-shaped cookies? What’s your favorite local spot that brings people together like this?
