Born in Austria, Franz Steiner immigrated to the U.S. in 1969. Steiner comes from a family of bakers. His father had a Bakery in Austria and at a young age Franz Steiner learned baking. He earned a master's degree in baking in Salzburg. When he came to U.S., he worked at German bakeries in New York City, Queens and Long Island, and took a position at the famous Milleridge Inn. In 1979, he learned of an opportunity to purchase a bakery in the hamlet of Manhasset. The location was Otto's Bake Shop, which was there for 18 years and, before that, was Holiday Bake Shoppe, which was in business for 26 years.On March 15, 1979, Steiner took over the bakery, and the transition with Otto became complete on April 1, 1979. Steiner's Pastry Shop has returned to a brand new location in Port Washington, NY. It has been nearly two years since Franz Steiner's previous bakery had closed. We are excited for the return of his high quality products and look forward to greeting both old and new customers!
