Our Story

A neighborhood bakery rooted in the Pasadena foothills

Alta Nutrition began with a simple conviction: the best food comes from good ingredients, honest preparation, and a genuine regard for the people who eat it.

Tucked along Lincoln Avenue in Altadena, our kitchen has become a quiet gathering place — where neighbors stop by for morning sourdough, weekend pastries, and the kind of service that feels like seeing a friend.

We bake in small batches, source from local farms when we can, and believe that what you put on your table matters — not just for your health, but for the rhythm of your day.

What We Offer

From our kitchen to your table

Every item is prepared fresh, with attention to flavor, texture, and the kind of quality you can taste from the first bite.

Golden sourdough loaves with a flour-dusted crust

Artisan Breads

Sourdough, ciabatta, focaccia, and seasonal varieties — all leavened naturally and baked to a crisp, golden crust.

An assortment of buttery pastries and croissants on a display case

Pastries & Sweets

Buttery croissants, flaky danishes, seasonal tarts, and house-made cakes — perfect for a quiet morning or a special occasion.

Shelves stocked with whole grains, nuts, and wholesome pantry staples

Pantry & Groceries

Locally sourced olive oils, artisan cheeses, whole grains, dried fruits, and other staples chosen for quality and taste.

A beautifully decorated seasonal cake with fresh berries

Custom Cakes

Birthdays, celebrations, or simply because you deserve something sweet — we craft cakes to order with seasonal flavors and elegant design.

A steaming cup of coffee beside a freshly baked pastry

Beverages

Specialty coffee, loose-leaf teas, fresh juices, and house-made elixirs — the ideal companion to your baked goods.

A curated gift basket with bread, preserves, and artisan treats

Gifts & Catering

Thoughtfully assembled gift boxes and grazing boards for events, holidays, or anyone who appreciates good food.

Wholesome Ingredients

We choose real, recognizable ingredients — organic flour, cultured butter, locally sourced produce — and avoid shortcuts whenever possible.

Baked Fresh Daily

Our ovens fire up before dawn. Every loaf, every pastry is made in small batches so it reaches you at its peak — never day-old, never rushed.

Rooted in Community

We're proud to be part of Altadena — supporting nearby farms, sponsoring local events, and keeping our doors open as a place where everyone belongs.
