Bays English Muffins for Breakfast - Quality AND Flavor

Our History

From our family to yours.

In 1933, George Bay opened a bakery in Chicago’s Loop selling English muffins with a recipe his English grandmother brought to the U.S. in the 1800’s.  Sold by the dozen in brown paper bags, the muffins were hand-delivered to restaurants, hotels and private clubs.  In 1938, Bays was one of the first companies to package muffins in a box with a cellophane window.  In the early 70’s, Bays products were selected to introduce the Egg McMuffin breakfast sandwich.  Bays remains a family business and adheres to the original recipe.  James Bay Jr. and George Bay are the third generation of the Bay family and actively run the business today.

Our Muffins

What Makes Bays Different ... and Better?

Have you ever wondered why Bays English Muffins are sold in the refrigerated dairy case and not in the bread aisle along with most other English muffins?

We follow an original family recipe and baking process that have been passed down through generations for a homemade goodness and quality you can truly taste. We uphold our high standards of excellence by using only the finest, authentic ingredients: pure cane sugar, Minnesota spring wheat flour and whole milk, real Wisconsin AA butter, and potato flour. This results in a muffin that toasts up golden brown, with a light, crispy texture.

All of our muffins are made to order, and leave the factory within 24 hours of baking to be shipped across the country in refrigerated trucks. By making our muffins available in the refrigerated section, we are able to ensure they arrive at your home fresh and full of flavor.

Bays English Muffins are available in four varieties:  Original, Sourdough, Honey Wheat & Multi-Grain.
