Raterman Bread Haus Builds a Bistro Around Sourdough
The Dexter bakery's published menu is 100% sourdough, with bread, pizza, sandwiches, soups, and salads.
Raterman Bread Haus & Bistro describes itself as a German-style bakery with a 100% sourdough menu. Its permanent storefront is at 8080 Grand Street in Dexter, next to Erratic Ale.
The bakery's About page says the business baked from an incubator kitchen at the Washtenaw Food Hub before expanding to Dexter. It also says the larger space allowed the menu to grow beyond loaves into pizza, sandwiches, seasonal soups, and salads.
That history supports the useful way to understand Raterman: bread is not one item among many. Sourdough is the organizing idea for the menu.
What is verifiable now
Raterman's current website advertises a 100% sourdough menu and links to its live ordering system. Because individual loaves, soups, and other specials can rotate, the ordering page is the right place to check availability and prices.
The business also tells customers they may bring Raterman food next door to Erratic Ale. That arrangement gives the block a bakery and brewery pairing while keeping the two operations distinct.
Raterman Bread Haus & Bistro is at 8080 Grand St, Dexter, MI 48130. The bakery currently lists hours of noon to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.
