Lawrence Lai, co-owner of the acclaimed bakery Craftsman and Wolves in San Francisco, passed away unexpectedly, as confirmed by a heartfelt Instagram post from the bakery. Recognized as a "fearless leader," Lai's death has left a profound sadness among friends, family, and industry peers. His vision for the bakery, which opened in 2012 and known for its stunning pastries like the Rebel Within, will continue through the dedicated team he considered family. Just months prior, Lai expressed excitement about expanding the brand with a new location in Mountain View set to open in July 2024.
"The grief is tremendous and has left a deep sadness in our hearts. Lawrence's legacy and vision for Craftsman and Wolves will live on and continue to grow thanks to the wolf pack of talented people that he considers family."
"We're looking forward to establishing a more permanent presence to offer people more unique creations that we can't usually bring to the farmer's market."
