I thought I remembered a bakery here in San Antonio by that name, but
it turns out to be "Broadway Daily Bread." (Makes sense; after all,
it's on Broadway St., not Our St.)

Still, I googled on "Our Daily Bread" and found bakeries by that name
in Blacksburg, Virginia; Algoma, Wisconsin; Winnie, Texas; Hico,
Texas; and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

P.S. I printed a sign that gave our kitchen the name, "Morning Brook
Bread Factory," since that's the street we're on and I like the way
the name rolls off the tongue.

I can vouch for the Our Daily Bread name working successfully in Blacksburg,
where I'm from. The bread there is quite tasty, and it is very popular
among the locals. When I had an apartment over the summer and was too lazy
to bake it myself, I took advantage of their services.

They are across the street from a large grocery store, and somehow they
managed to convince the grocery store to carry their bread as well!
Something to think about once you've established your bakery in the
community to reach a new audience, although I'm sure the terms of the deal
mean profit isn't nearly as good as when someone wanders straight into your
shop.

Best of luck!

"Eat Me"

Sounds like "Our Daily Bread" is pretty much a cliche.

How about:

Crusts R Us

Begin the Baguette (like the Cole Porter song "Begin the Beguine")

Rollers and Loafers

A Slice of Life

The Toast of the Town

Baking Beauties (like "bathing beauties")

Love of My Loaf (like "love of my life")

The Loaf of Love (like the song "the look of love")

Rockin' Rolls

Wheat Wonders

I missed the original message. What city and/or street is this
supposed to be opening in? That may help me give you more
suggestions.

(This is fun, actually!)

Or, if your planning to do a lot of baking for shabbos, you
might consider "The Challie Gully"

LOL! Of course, if they're too close to that, they could call
themselves "All You Knead is Loaf".

Hehehe. If its a Jewish shop in an Islamic neighborhood, they could
call it "Challah Be Praised"?

If, instead, its in the "Red Light" district, they could call it
"Wheat Dreams".

Near a maternity hospital, it could be called "Buns in the Oven".
