Morat's Bakery, through the Years! Morat’s Bakery began over 70 years ago. In 1920, Frank Shramm, Carollee (Morat) Castles Great Grandfather, came to the United States from Vienna Austria. In 1937, after working in Chicago area bakeries Frank opened his own shop in Hart, Michigan. In 1939, just before the start of World War II, Carollee’s grandfather Carl Morat took over the Hart Bakery. In the 1940's, Carl Morat moved the family business to Reed City, Michigan. In the 1960's, Carollee’s father started Morat’s Bakery located in Whitehall, Michigan. Morat's Bakery has became well known throughout Muskegon and Oceana counties. In 2006, Carolee and her husband Dan Castle took over the bakery in Mears, Michigan. In 2011, with a growing need to serve customers year round the Castle’s relocated and opened Morat’s Bakery Pub in New Era, Michigan. After having a sucessful summer season in Muskegon, Carollee decided to make it permanent. In July of 2018 we opened our store in Downtown Muskegon! 

Meet the Owners Carollee and Dan Castle have taken their experience from the big city and brought a unique and innovative twist to Morat’s Bakery. One tradition that has been in the Morat’s Bakery family, and will never change, is their famous original,  Morats English Muffin Bread. Carollee and Dan enjoy continuing the tradition started so long ago by Carollee's great grandfather and hope to share these family traditions with many generations to come.
