“Oh So Tender” I am a major breadaholic…no really! My family and I love love love Pyrenees Bakery and have been buying their bread for thirty plus years. Most local Restaurants serve Pyrenees Bread if they are of any stature in town. I am a big time BBQ’er / Pellet Smoker and often smoke Pork Butt (shoulder) and when I do my pulled pork I ALWAYS call up Pyrenees the day before and order my special “Large Hamburger Rolls With Sesame Seeds” OMG!! We also, because so affordable order Soft Sandwich Rolls, a loaf of Sourdough and a loaf of French bread as well. The bread is ALWAYS fresh and the Gal’s behind the counter are all sweethearts. Take cash or your checkbook because they do not accept credit cards. Please don’t change a thing!!

Mezzaluna Bakery – Menu with Prices – 202 West 7th St, Santa Rosa

Oh, Franco American, I don’t have enough kind words for you. Even though I have never been by every time my family is in Santa Rosa my mom goes out every morning and returns with a loaf of fresh, fluffy, flavorful sourdough. My earliest memories include chowing down on their sourdough with my grandparents, slathered with butter. My grandparents lived a block away in the fifties, and enjoyed this bread on the daily. My grandma even used the French bread in her thanksgiving turkey. No bread compares to Franco Americans sourdough, and if you think differently FIGHT ME. Franco American, PLEASE sponsor me. (Even though I only have like 100 Instagram followers). To conclude their bread is a loaf of goodness no one should go a lifetime without trying. Just to show how delightful their bread is I eat about a half a loaf every day we are visiting SR. Once my mom even packed a loaf in her suitcase to bring home to NY. No regrets on her part. Update: I have since been by Franco American. I envy those who live within a blocks radius to the bakery as they have the absolute privilege of having the aroma of a 24 hour burning sourdough scented candle lighting up theirs lives. The staff is also very friendly.

Bread prices at the grocery store seem to only go up, and it’s not like there’s been a lot of innovation in bread since the infamous slicing machine came out. If you’re like me and want to play less for a loaf of bread than the cost of a tank of gas, the outlet stores are the place to go. You’ll almost always find sandwich bread for $1 or just a little more for the freshest loaves. Huge loaves of fresh Russian Rye and Sourdough are also available, bagels and muffins, plus cookies and other sweets, soup/gravy mixes and jams. With the outlet card and the new app, there’s a lot of opportunity to stock up on breads at an affordable price.

I stopped by 30 mins before closing. My first impression when I was entering the bakery… I thought it was out if business. It’s because the shelves were pretty much empty. As it turned out, their baked goods, including their pepperoni rolls in various sizes, rolls, and variety of bread were sold out! There were some bread left when I arrived. Chris, the owner, was so welcoming and inform. He shared the story of the bakery, and I enjoyed my visit very much. I was blessed to get to try his Italian Bread. Oh my goodness! The crust was crispy and has this tasty flavor. The center of the bread was so soft. A perfect combination. I was disappointed that he doesn’t sell Pierogies in the Summer time. I was looking forward to trying them after reading the reviews. I told Chris that I can’t get up that early… With their hours being 9-1. He said that I can call and reserve the pepperoni rolls. That I plan in doing. I’m vacationing in the area, and I told him that I really want to try his pepperoni rolls before I head home. Chris was so fun to talk to. He even came out to my car to see my pups, my travel buddies. ð??ð??ð??? I can’t wait to go back tomorrow to get myself some pepperoni rolls… Even though I avoid eating pork and beef… I’m making an exception. ð??ð??? I notice the prices are displayed on the wall. Wow! Comparing to Northern VA prices, his prices are soooo low and affordable. ð??²… I went back the next day after calling Chris to save some Pepperoni Rolls for me. They are delicious! So much pepperoni and the bread/rolls are so soft, as though they just came out if the oven. I got another loaf of Italian Bread, and it was so soft. I ended up feeding the geese and their babies, because they looked hungry. I might go back in the morning on my way home and on pick up another loaf and more pepperoni rolls for my trip home. ð??? I can’t believe how low his prices are!

Raymond’s Sourdough – Menu with Prices – 3979 S McCarran Blvd, Reno

Tonight, 3-11-16, my wife and I went shopping at the grocery market across the street for some bread to accompany our hot soup on a rainy night. We purchased a round loaf of Raymond’s sourdough gourmet bread. This is the best sourdough bread either of us has ever eaten! I’m smiling and getting goosebumps recalling the lightly crunchy crust, the soft moist inside and the tangy bite in the corners of my mouth from that incredible sour flavor! Tonight was absolutely one of the greatest bread experiences of my life, a life eating lots of sourdough. Thanks Raymond!

The Bread Artisans Bakery – Menu with Prices – 6925 4th St N, St. Petersburg

Fantastic, fresh-baked, natural bread. I didn’t realize until recently that most bread we eat is not made the way people made it for hundreds of years. I wanted to try a real sourdough loaf from people who use an actual starter and not bags of yeast and added sugar. I wanted bread close to the way it used to be made because I’ve been learning that it is way healthier this way and I felt it might be tastier, too. I went here on a Saturday morning and asked what their best bread was. The lady, who I presume is the co-owner with her husband who was in the middle of actually baking bread right there, was very humble. She didn’t brag about the bread but instead talked about the bread itself. She told me to start with a true sourdough loaf and then come back and branch out. She handed me a still hot loaf in a paper bag and told me to let it settle before I broke into it. I would like to tell you that I had self-control with this notion but once it got into my car, the smell was so damn good that I thought I would just take a small little whiff. I picked up the bag and the crust cracked in a fresh-baked way that I have missed since my family used to make homemade breads. I’ll be honest, half the loaf is already gone. The only reason it isn’t already gone is that I am trying to convince myself that I should not eat that much bread in one day. There’s still a few hours left of the day though. Probably won’t make it and I will have to go back on Monday for more.

Big Sky Bread Co Inc – Menu with Prices – 6606 N Western Ave, Oklahoma City

I feel like this is my second review of BSB, but I am very absentminded. I’m just confused because I feel like I’ve been here before but can’t find it Their bread makes the best bread based items. I guess I could just say they have the best bread. Seriously look at the ingredient list on their breads and argue with me about it. You’d look silly Most of the time I’ll buy the German rye because I love making grilled cheese with that. The cinnamon raisin is an awesome dessert; just eat it plain right out of the bag. I dare you to make bread pudding or French toast with it. Don’t ask me if I have cause I’ll just lie and say no They can slice a loaf for you thin or thick and they have two loaf sizes They have cinnamon rolls and granola and cookies and muffins among other things too Parking and accessibility are a cinch

Colorado Bakery – Menu with Prices – 464 Colorado Blvd, Glendale

Love this bakery!!! It is my favorite bakery in LA. The bread is always fresh and delicious. I love the Matnakash(crunchy on outside, fluffy on the inside), Barbari(has sesame seeds sprinkled on the bread) and lavash. The place also has a mini market inside which is very convenient. Love coming to Colorado bakery every morning for some fresh bread.

Rice & Roll – Menu with Prices – 234 Queen St, Ottawa

I had a late lunch here recently (around 2pm on a weekday). The place is small but has a lot of character and the couple working there are incredibly nice. The food is also fresh and delicious. I love maki rolls, but cannot eat sesame seeds, so I can never eat those pre-made packages, I need to have them made especially for me. I told them about my sesame seed issue and they said it was not a problem, they would make me my rolls without them. I got the Combo C ($6.99) (3 California rolls, 3 Spicy Salmon rolls and 6 Hosomaki (chef’s choice, I got 3 cucumber and 3 crab stick)) and a bottle of Orangina ($2.50). The maki were delicious. All the ingredients were fresh and the rice was expertly seasoned. The rice to other ingredients ratio was perfect and the rolls were a good size. I was offered a free bowl of miso soup and it was excellent. It was not too salty which is my most common complaint with miso soup. It didn’t have that much seaweed or tofu chunks in it though. However, miso soup is all about broth so I can’t fault them for that. The takeout menu says that the miso they use is certified organic. The place is very small, there are 2 round tables of 2, and a counter that seats 4. It’s more a takeout kind of place. The place is also very cozy and decorated with all sorts of Asian knick-knacks. It has a very warm feeling to it. The couple working there I’m sure are husband and wife. Their interactions with each other were very cute. When the man went to make my rolls, the woman reminded him “no sesame seeds.” They are very polite and nice. It is too bad that I do not work nor live around this place, because I would like to eat here more often. I will come back when I am in the area.

The Hawthorn Bistro & Bakery – Menu with Prices – 1307 N Monroe St #1, Tallahassee

Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. I went by here the other day to grab a baguette to go with dinner (and of course had to grab a cinnamon roll because they were there and were beautiful and spoiler alert: they are absolutely delicious) and I had zero regrets. The baguette was super delicious- best served warm with a little bit of butter. Because I was so impressed, I can back for lunch today and enjoyed it so much. The club sandwich was delicious, like wow. I’m not a ham or tomato person but in this sandwich it was delicious. The house made kettle chips were a perfect accompaniment to the sandwich. The grilled cheese (I got it with the sourdough bread and havarti cheese) was amazing and ooey and gooey and I’m sure absolutely scrumptious with a cup of soup. The bread was super crusty and if we hadn’t already bought a loaf of the egg bread (Also super delicious but much softer) we would’ve gotten a loaf of that…next time! I’ve resolved to try all the bread there. The greens were fresh with the grapefruit vinaigrette. I didn’t love the arugula in it, but if you like arugula, you’ll be fine! Another thing we got was the lemon lavender cookie which was a super surprising win. Honestly, all things here are delicious thus far. I love the aesthetics of this place and the service is quick. The chairs are super comfy and while it started picking up when we left, it wasn’t crazy crowded. What was crazy crowded was the parking lot. It’s a bit awkward of a lot, but just be persistent and you’ll get a spot. Trust me, it’s worth it.

Bimbo Bakeries USA – Menu with Prices – 5050 E Evans Ave, Denver

I love these little bakery-adjacent outlet stores. This one will give you a free “loaf of bread” with your first purchase. You will also get a free “loaf of bread” with every $10 spent. In case you’re not getting enough free bread, you will also be given a punch card, which entitles you to TWO free loaves of bread after you spend $40 (“punches” are in 8 – $1, 10 – $2, and 4 – $3 increments so you’re basically guaranteed to get the full value of each purchase recorded on the card). “Loaf of bread” is anything off a rack by the door that, on my visit, had bread, buns (hamburger and hot dog), and english muffins. There’s a huge variety of products available. 3 for $5 Thomas bagels. $2 loaves of good, dense, whole grain & seed bread. $1.50 potato buns. Plus a huge variety of desserts and snack cakes and more breads and buns and flats and granolas and seeds… as well as some non-bakery items like jellies, drinks, takis, condiments, and jerky.

ORIGIN Breads – Menu with Prices – 2817 E Washington Ave, Madison

I had a hard time selecting a loaf of bread that would be worthy of the best homegrown slicing tomatoes, homemade avocado-oil mayonnaise, and some excellent Berkshire hog bacon, but the Origin Sourdough Sandwich Loaf kept my attention, and in spite of the HIGH price of $7.50 for the 32-ounce loaf, I bit the bullet and bought. I couldn’t have made a better decision! A friend and I ate BLTs with some homemade pappardelle that was coated with a cream sauce and truffles. Opened a bottle of dry white Bordeaux, and it was a simple delight worthy of a fine restaurant. The bread was truly amazing. I haven’t had such wonderful bread since my last trip to Germany, where a local bakery occasionally bakes a batch of bread using spelt. I can’t wait to try more of the selection, but as a single person, it’ll take me a while to go through each load. I think next choice is going to be their Heritage loaf – I’m eager to taste the delight of ancient grains. From their website: “For these loaves we substitute a percentage of our normal wheat with a heritage grain, including Turkey Red, Red Fife and Spelt.” Sounds YUMMY!

Yosemite Meat & Deli – Menu with Prices – 915 N Yosemite St, Stockton

I was in to get a Tri-Tip sandwich. It was to die for. The beef is perfectly cooked and seasoned. I was shocked at how good it was. I ordered a Tri-Tip on sourdough with lettuce, tomato and onions. I took it to go. For $9.99 you get a side (either potato or macaroni salad), and a small bag of potato chips. To me it’s worth it due to the quality of the beef. My one beef is with the quality of the bread. There is lots of room for improvement on that. It was grocery store bought. This is why I only gave 4/5 stars. I would highly recommend contracting out a fresh bread supplier. Imagine fresh S.F. sourdough or East Coast Style hard rolls. The store is immaculate and the customer service is excellent. The Yosemite Meat Market is also a butcher shop. You can get fresh cuts and dry aged beef! I will be in again and again. I highly recommend this place. Just fix the bread.
