Unlike other places where the crust can be too hard and abrasive, the sourdough here has a softer yet still chewy and perfect crust.

The so-called sourdough resembled more of a French bread, with a soft crust and bland interior. If you're looking for real sourdough bread, I would recommend not going here.

Great bread. I wish there was a storefront. I recommend ordering ahead so you get what you want. read more Great bread. I wish there was a storefront. I recommend ordering ahead so you get what you want.

Just head to the back entrance (there really isn 't a front door and grab whatever bread you want off the cooling racks! My mom has been wanting to try out this place ever since we discovered Palermo Bakery 's ciabatta at a local European food shop where we asked for the name and address. Since we were in the area, we stopped by to buy some of that delicious bread that we 've been dreaming about. I guess we didn 't come early enough (we came around 7:30AM . I would suggest 5AM 7AM before they head out for deliveries or call in advance. We managed to buy 4 loaves of ciabatta and the last two rolls of Dutch Crunch (which is a must in NorCal it 's such a rarity in SoCal to find freshly baked Dutch Crunch . In total, we paid $9 for fresh bread!! Make sure to bring cash! The staff gave us freedom to pick and choose our bread and gave us a quick tour of the bakery which was cool. They give you sturdy paper bags to hold your bread and sleeves that are freezer friendly. Definitely recommend for quality, authentic Italian and traditional bread. Don 't be deterred by the lack of storefront and BRING CASH!
