We tried Black Sheep for the first time yesterday and I had to write something. We got the rosemary bread, a chocolate orange cookie, and a sprinkle sugar cookie. Everything is SO GOOD! I don't think I've ever had sourdough that is this fluffy and soft and light on the inside and crunchy and sturdy on the outside. It's perfection. We made grilled cheese with it last night - highly recommend that. Also highly recommend just eating it as is with some good butter :) The chocolate and sugar cookies were perfectly sweet. Not too sweet, not too rich. We can't wait to come back! read more

THE BIG: Sourdough bakery in downtown Paso! No frills bakery shop with an array of sourdough desserts and bread on display and sale. Parking lot out front. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I find myself to be a sourdough expert *sarcasm*. This micro-bakery is legit. Smells like sourdough inside and every bakery item they have uses starter. For food, we got the sausage egg and cheese breaky bomb and the sourdough cinny rolls. The cinny rolls was too sweet for my liking, but still very good. the breaky bombs were so good which makes it the move to get imo. THE FINAL BAMBOO: The cost for the two pastries was around $15. The pastries were pretty big, so i'd recommend grabbing a few pastries to load up the belly before wine tasting. read more

Black Sheep Sourdough Micro-Bakery is a small-batch shop in Paso Robles from Paula Kopper, a woman who only began baking two years prior to opening when her spouse developed gluten sensitivity requiring a change in diet. Previously operating her own daycare, test batches of Bread developed after an internet search often finding their way home with pupils and their parents, July 2025 finally saw Kopper open up shop at 1306 Pine Street where her goods now frequently sell-out daily. Working exclusively with a Sourdough starter named Dough-Rita, even Black Sheep's Cookies subject to traditional fermentation, guests now will find both sweet and savory treats alongside full loaves with clever names like "The Basic B" and "Mob Boss." Originally sold at the Paso Robles Farmers Market, opening of a storefront delayed as she relied on friends and family for everything from paint to plumbing, May 2026 now sees Paula regularly trying new things ranging from hefty Cinnamon Rolls to an absolutely stellar Sourdough Blondie that starts sweet and sticky before dissipating with an almost boozy sort of linger. Leaning into the "Black Sheep" name with some clever signage, a Sourdough "Cinny Roll" weighty beneath tangy Icing, those looking for something breakfast-y will note Scones and "Breaky Bombs," or their sweet brethren called "Lachee" filled with Fruit and Cream Cheese riffing on Czech Kolaches. read more

Came here to say twice on our trip in Paso Robles! The sourdough cinnamon rolls are dense and delicious. The sourdough bombs and filling and full of flavor. Sourdough bread is freshly made, and so good! It's a small shop, so highly recommend ordering to go. They can heat up any tasty treat. Bread was a great gift for a friend driving back to SF! read more

Black Sheep Sourdough Micro-Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

We found this shop quite accidentally on our way to Morro Bay and were thrilled at all of the neat bread we were able to buy day old! We also ate breakfast there and while I personally found the cinnamon roll a bit dry, the breakfast bun was so delightful. It has eggs and bacon in it so it was a perfect breakfast bite! The owners were there and were so incredibly friendly and helpful. The shop itself is very small but we were able to sit down to sip some delicious hot coffee while we scarfed carbs. The grilled cheese sandwiches we made later with the herb bread blew our socks off!! read more

Simply Divine! Was able to try Black Sheep on my latest visit to paso and I was amazed. The owner Paula gave me a brief overview of her process and you can tell she's passionate about her craft. I tried the cinnamon roll and it was fantastic, the icing wasn't overly sweet and the dough was nice and soft with a nice chew to it. Taking some loafs on the way out of town for sure. read more

This place is unreal. No aesthetic, no games, just bomb sourdough! They run out quickly so be warned and go early! Wish they had an online situation because we don't live that local and this is now our favorite sourdough read more

Wow. What a gem! Omg. The baked goods here are to DIE for. The s'more's cookie was fantastic. The loaf of bread I brought home was eaten that same day for dinner. I should have bought twice the items I did given everyone's reaction to the delicious items I bought. I'm definitely going to be coming back here! read more

Black Sheep Sourdough Micro-Bakery - Smores cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Go here and go early! Every item was amazing. You can tell this is a place beloved by the locals with the owners knowing so many patrons. It's a family business. My favorite stop on our most recent trip. They make all the items using sourdough. On a Saturday around 9:30 AM they had already sold out of a few items. White chocolate raspberry scone - A really interesting texture, almost reminding me of a fritter with the inside of it feeling almost bread-y. This was sort of the underdog surprise of the items. The taste, texture, and flavor were perfect. Cinnamon roll - It was so soft, chewy, and fresh. The frosting complimented the dough perfectly. Green Goddess loaf - This bread had pesto and cheese swirled throughout. The texture of the loaf was perfect, with such a nice crunch on top and bottom. Apple cinnamon roll/danish - This was like a mix between a brioche, roll, and donut. We ate everything in one day, and it all tasted so fresh. We ate three of our four items in 30 minutes. That's the tldr. read more

Really enjoying this incredible bakery! We've now been here 4 times and everything is amazing! So fresh & tasty - and not too sweet! This time we tried the sausage breakfast bombs, split a blueberry lychee, and brought home a garlic Parmesan sourdough loaf. Their bread is perfect for sandwiches - slices up so nice. Highly recommend!! Super nice owner & staff. They really care about what they do - and about making the best product possible. Highly recommend!! read more

Black Sheep Sourdough Micro-Bakery - Sausage/egg/cheese breakfast bomb & Blueberry Lychee - both so tasty and kept us going all day! - Bakeries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Even though the chocolate chip cookie is a number one seller, I think the cinnamon roll is the best. The way the sourdough and frosting complement each other is divine. Plus the cinnamon roll is huge. I like to take mine home and warm it up. - The team is welcoming and speedy. I appreciate that the owner replies to emails directly. The shop is small and I like the branding of the mascot (black sheep) on the bags and stickers. - My only request is that you consider changing from plastic to-go containers to eco friendly compostable or cardboard. Thanks for considering this suggestion. read more

Black Sheep Sourdough Micro-Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Black Sheep "Everything Sourdough" Bakery really should be the name. Founded by Paula and Matt, they really know what their doing. I tried a smattering of items: Blueberry scone, Cinnamon Roll, a Ukrainian Raspberry sweet cheese "danish", and a everything chocolate chip cookie. Everything was divine, including a Garlic Sourdough bread which the gf and I devoured in a couple of days. If that's not enough, they have rotating types of breads (Pesto, Italian, etc), muffins, egg sandwiches, and more. Oh yeah! Awesome! Welcome to Paso! read more

So so happy we decided to drop in before heading home. We got sourdough bread, scones, jalapeno focaccia and a chocolate kolache. The sourdough bread was exactly that and nothing fancy but super yummy toasted with butter. The focaccia was dense and soft, also really good. We also enjoyed the scone and chocolate kolache. The were pretty big and had perfect flavor. Service was super friendly and fast. The store is small and gets a little crowded and it can be hard to see pricing, but it's all there. read more

It is DA BOMB! My brother and I found this sweet little bakery because we had been wine tasting at LXV the day before. This isn't your normal bakery. I got a bacon egg and cheese "bomb" and it was absolutely amazing. Who would have thought to put all normal topping inside sourdough bread? YUM! A beautiful crust with a nice warm soft center enveloping the bacon, eggs and cheese. The coffee was delicious and the owners were so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place! read more

Even though Black Sheep was super busy, the service and staff were exceptional! A couple of customers were super nice and allowed two of us to squeeze into a community table. Our orders were taken quickly and food delivered timely. It was a fun dining experience. read more

Stopped here on my way back home to southern California. It's a nice little bakery; however, it felt a little overpriced. I also had difficulty finding out what was in each bread. They had just names of the different loaves without any descriptions of the ingredients that could be found in each. I asked the person working the counter if she could describe for me what was in each, and she just repeated back the names (which were not descriptive of the ingredients). read more

I got a jalapeño scone and a campfire cookie for later. Both were very good. The scone with a bit of spicy heat and the campfire was a deep dish style chocolate chip cookie with graham cracker, marshmallow and a hershey's chocolate. Owner welcomed us and answered our questions. If you like sour dough or sweet treats, this is a must stop in Paso Robles. read more

Awesome spot for breakfast to go if you're looking for something to enjoy at the park! Popped in and was immediately greeted by the very friendly owners. Beautiful collection of sourdough bread of all sorts of flavors if you're a bread fan (who isn't). I picked up the ham, cheese, and egg boule -- it is SO DELICIOUS. I'm so lucky I snagged the last one. Also grabbed one of their big cinnamon rolls for the road. Great mom and pop spot! Can't wait to be back :) read more

Wow, the cinnamon roll is to die for and it's not too sweet. We got lucky coming across this micro bakery as we were searching for some coffee. Who knew sourdough cinnamon rolls were the best thing on earth. Service was friendly and felt like a homey family owned business. read more

Recently came across Black Sheep while looking for a donut haha. I love sourdough, it's nice to have a bakery in Paso, dedicated to making bread, pizza dough, pastries and more using sourdough. I tried a blueberry muffin that was absolutely amazing, definitely beats a donut. I went back days later to get another muffin and ended up buying a bag of English muffins. They toasted up nicely, another winner. Highly recommend . read more

Taking one of my breaks from my no bread life style and brought some to share with coworkers. A co-worker has literally been sharing single bites (that alone was a sign!) of some of the fare at Black Sheep Sourdough - and it left me with - I gotta go! Cute, clean and roomy with a friendly and helpful staff. Blueberry scone- moist deliciously sweetly tart with a zing! The sourdough structure offers a beautifully crusted outside layer with the airy sponge interior. Cinnamon Roll- It really stacks up.. the sweet and creamy frosting isn't overwhelmingly sugary and the sourdough variety takes on whole new flavors that omit the typically overpowering yeast taste in what one considers a "traditional cinnamon roll". Not a huge fan of sugary.. so this dish was the ticket! Great cinnamon flavor without the super sweet. Was in a hurry as more "breakfast bombs" were on their way to the lineup.... Next time! If you love sour dough this is a must.. if you don't - give it a try, they may change your mind. read more

Stopped by with my husband late Saturday morning and realized we should have come earlier - holiday weekend so we missed out on the cinnamon rolls. He had a raspberry sweet cheese "danish" and I had a blueberry sweet cheese "danish" (pictured). His disappeared before I could get a picture. This baker knows what she's doing! Both were delicious and just sweet enough - you could really taste the fruit. They are large! I think we could have shared but DH didn't. He said that was a great early lunch. They warmed them up for us so we could sit down inside with a cup of coffee and enjoy them. I bought a loaf of basic sourdough to take home - they also had several different flavors - garlic, etc. as well as mini loaves. Highly recommend - it's great to have a real bread bakery in town. read more

Black Sheep Sourdough Micro-Bakery - Pre made sourdough pizza dough! - Bakeries Near Me - Paso Robles, California

Omg thank you Yelp for sending me to Black Sheep Sourdough! Wow this place is the real deal! I've been to alot of pastry and sourdough shops and this one instantly became a favorite. I got the seasonal pumpkin sourdough loaf and the garlic Parmesan loaf, plus their egg and bacon sourdough bomb, they were all absolutely delicious! The bread was chewy, warm and full of flavor. Everything tasted so natural and didn't have any artificial taste, just pure ingredients like my family use to make. I also got their sourdough chocolate chip cookie and Twix, cinnamon bun, blueberry and walnut muffin. And yes, I know, that's a lot but our family loves bread and we've tried pastry shops all around the world, but this is by far our favorite. When I asked the owner if she could slice the loaves for me , the owner kindly offered to try, even though the bread was still soft and might fall apart. I really appreciated the extra effort, she was so kind and great customer service. The only thing I wish is that they open a spot on the Westside of LA. I would go there every morning if it was closer! I guess I'll just have to make a trip to Paso for the bread (and wine). I guess it's not a bad thing. Definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it! read more

OMGGGGGG! This place so exceeded my expectations. I will be back! Absolutely delish. It was my first visit and I meant to only get a scone and walked out with more. read more

Fabulous bread! The jalapeño cheddar is delightful--and I'm a connoisseur! Wish I lived closer

Ambiance/Service: A lovely couple runs this bakery. They were welcoming and walked us through their baking process and gave us recommendations on what to get. Food: Everything here is made with sourdough and all baked goods and made the "old fashioned" way with simple ingredients you can pronounce! The jalapeño cheese loaf is lovely and actually has a kick to it! I also purchased a cheese, ham and egg bomb, cinnamon roll and sourdough chocolate chip cookie and all were delicious. Also, compared to other baked goods, I didn't feel gross, bloated or heavy after eating Black Sheep! This is such a cute micro bakery run by great people. Definitely check it out if you're around Paso! read more

Tried this place for the first time today. The campfire cookie is probably the best store bought cookie I've ever had. The breakfast bombs were delicious. The roll was so tasty. Wish it had more filling but that's just me, the tasty roll made up for it. The cinnamon rolls was also so good, the icing wasn't overly sweet. read more

Cute shop with delicious offerings, grabbed a sourdough sausage & egg "bomb" and a sourdough cinnamon roll. So tasty!! Next time I'll come earlier in the day to grab a full loaf, I see they have different varieties but were almost out when I went. Must be very popular!!! Can't wait to see what's next for this place EDIT: went back a 2nd time on "FOCACCIA FRIDAY" and wow look at these Sourdough Focaccia! read more

Just discovered Black Sheep Sourdough and I'm so glad I did!! After a disappointing birthday weekend brunch at a nearby restaurant, I needed something to restore my faith in Paso. After a warm welcome, my daughter and I selected a cinnamon roll, a sugar cookie and a raspberry cheese roll. We took our items to go. What was supposed to be "a quick bite" to satisfy my curiosity before heading home, turned into me devouring the AMAZING raspberry roll. The cinnamon roll and cookie were just as yummy.... All were fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or a fresh loaf to take home, it's definitely worth a visit. I'll be back for sure! Thank you BSS read more
