Carlos Pereira- our master baker- came from Lima Peru at the age of 19 to earn a degree in Hospitality Management and then return home. To help pay for school he took a part time job as a baker’s apprentice. Then, he spotted a job posting for an artisan bread baker at a major hotel and found himself on a completely different career path than he’d ever imagined. He was destined to become an artisan baker and to embrace America as his home.

Although he was not qualified to be an artisan baker, Carlos managed to get the job and was sent to the San Francisco Baking Institute to train with the best master bakers of the US. Here, Carlos discovered his true passion for bread and changed career paths to become a serious baker. A couple years later, Carlos realized there were no artisan bread bakeries in town and decided to venture on his own.

And so Bon Breads was born on April 1, 1999. Originally a one man operation, Carlos worked tirelessly to follow his passion for good bread and his desire to fill all of Las Vegas with the best bread in town. Today, Carlos is considered by chefs and food critics as one of the best bakers in the country and his breads are required by the best chefs in the world. Wonder where is Carlos right now? Most days you will find Carlos baking alongside his staff or training bakers in the same artisanal methods taught to him. Perfectionist by nature, Carlos works very hard to make sure each and every baguette, rustic loaf or specialty roll meets his exact standards.
