About Manna European Bakery & Deli

Our History

Manna Bakery commenced in 1983, as the in-store bakery for another speciality food store in St. John’s.The bakery’s operator, Jindra Fodor, felt she would be best able to present the products and the style of service she required at new premises on Freshwater Road. These premises have been occupied since 1986. Manna Bakery has expanded several times to accommodate changing needs so at present the business occupies nearly 5,000 square feet of retail, dining and production space.

In 1992 the Rusted Family acquired the company and has continued to add products and services, while remaining true to what made Mrs. Fodor successful. The tradition of high quality, healthful food continues.

We enjoy working with our customers, and together we create a beautiful and amazing experience that brings positive results and complete satisfaction.
