About Green Island Bakery

GreenIsland Bakery was founded in 2020 by owner Caroline Johnston when she realized how much she missed authentic Irish and European pastries, bakery goods, and breads. Luckily for us, the Johnston family has many closely-guarded family recipes handed down through generations! GreenIsland Bakery uses these recipes, and believe us, they're a secret for a reason!

As an international citizen and entrepreneur, Caroline founded GreenIsland Bakery with her roots and experience in mind. A native of Greenisland, Northern Ireland, Caroline spent years living all over Europe. From Ireland to France to Scotland to Spain, GreenIsland Bakery is inspired by all things Irish & European! Now living and operating in the United States, Caroline has brought her lived experiences here to Washington, DC.

At Green Island Bakery, every treat is a connection to home — a blend of celebration, comfort, and tradition. Our cookies, loaves, and shortbreads bring warmth, with a crisp edge and a melt-in-your-mouth center that takes you back to simpler times. Rooted in Northern Irish recipes, every bite evokes memories of family and shared moments.

It's more than just baking. It’s love. It’s community.

With heart, care, and the best ingredients, we create pastries that warm your soul, while empowering women in our community.
