The Artisan Oven Story

Nestled in the heart of Three Lakes, Wisconsin, Artisan Oven was born from a passion for handcrafted flavors, time-honored techniques, and a love for bringing people together around the table.

At Artisan Oven, baking isn’t just a craft—it’s a family tradition. Adam Schmidt spent two decades as a chef in high-end resorts before setting out to create something of his own, a place where food could be both artful and welcoming. Alongside his wife, Ashley, and their son, Kye, he brings this vision to life every day. Ashley, a classically trained pastry chef with roots in France, infuses her expertise into every delicate croissant and decadent pastry. Kye, the heart of our bakery, welcomes guests with his infectious energy, making every visit feel like home.

Our ever-changing menu reflects not only our creativity but also the voices of our community. Every loaf of bread, every sandwich, and every pastry is made with care, using time-honored techniques and a passion for bold, eclectic flavors.

From the scent of fresh sourdough at dawn to the golden flakiness of a perfect éclair, Artisan Oven is more than just a place to eat—it’s a place to connect, to celebrate, and to savor the simple joys of food and family.
