Gregory Kranias opened his first bakery in 1922. From the beginning, fine natural products and personal service were their hallmark. The Kranias family has been baking European breads, pastries, cookies, cakes and confections for three generations. Gregory Kranias opened his first bakery in 1922. From the beginning, fine natural products and personal service were always the pinnacle of their success. Grandfather Gregory grew his own wheat and had it ground in the local grist mill, then baked the bread in wood-burning brick ovens. Once the day's baking was complete, Grandfather Gregory would place the breads and pastries in baskets and deliver them door-to-door in his donkey-drawn cart. Emanuil (Manos), Yanni's second son, emigrated to the US and kept up the family tradition. He opened Sweet Bread Co. in South Tampa, before opening Manos Bakery Cafe in Clearwater. The family tradition continues, with Manos' children working in the bakery after school. Thank you Yelp for helping me discover this GEM! I agree with the other reviewers about how amazing this place is! It is top notch in terms of taste, freshness and authenticity. Their pies are amazing - spanokopita, meat pie and bougatsa. I did not try the tiropita however I am sure that it is equally amazing. Real greek treats at great prices as well. Thank you Yelp for helping me discover this GEM!
