About Us

Jonathan Robins is the Founder of Jonathan Robins Bakery (JRB) based in Tempe, Arizona. Originally from Johannesburg, South Africa, Jonathan immigrated to the United States in 1987 where he completed a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Management in 1991. 

In 1992 Jonathan purchased a small bakery in Phoenix, AZ which has grown from one employee to over thirty employees today. 

Jonathan has learned the most by experimenting & being in the kitchen/bakery; but his formal training includes a three-year apprenticeship with a French baker, formal training from American Institute of Baking (AIB) and The San Francisco Baking Institute (SFBI).
