Welcome to Central Bakery, located at 70 Shove Street, Tiverton, Rhode Island, where tradition and taste come together in our renowned Portuguese Muffins. As a family-owned business with deep roots in the Azorean culinary tradition, we have been delighting customers since 1975 with our original recipe, lovingly passed down through generations.

Discover the magic of our Famous Portuguese Muffin, affectionately known as the "3 Meal Muffin." Crafted from a rich, slightly sweet dough, our muffins are versatile enough to be enjoyed any time of the day—whether lightly toasted for breakfast or as a delightful sandwich for lunch or dinner. Their distinctive taste ensures that every bite is savored, making the whole sandwich experience memorable.

Our journey began 46 years ago when the Lopes family, inspired by their Azorean heritage, introduced these unique muffins to the American palate. After gaining popularity through local distribution and mail orders, our muffins caught the attention of prestigious publications like the New York Times, and have been featured on shows highlighting local specialty foods.

At Central Bakery, we take pride in being the original creators of the Portuguese Muffin, a legacy that has earned us accolades such as being named one of the Top 10 Restaurant Burgers in SW Connecticut. Our commitment to quality and authenticity sets us apart from imitators, ensuring that each muffin is a testament to our family's passion and dedication.

We invite you to visit us at Central Bakery and experience the true taste of our heritage.
