About us
About
our 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.

Bakery Class
As noted by several studies, baking is a form of therapy for individuals. It helps calm down both our minds and bodies. GreenIsland Bakery is committed to the well-being of one another and as a result hosts baking classes focused specifically on Irish culture.
Our baking classes are meant to serve as a form of relaxation and emersion in Irish culture. Our goal is to share our traditions and heritage with you while also giving you some time to simply enjoy the multiple benefits that come with baking.
