We live out a bit so we buy several loaves at a time. The staff is 5 stars. They will slice, and double bag 1/2 loafs so we defrost what we need, while the rest can stay frozen until it is needed. Caveat: the dough is essentially all the same consistency and there is no appreciable difference between the French, Italian, wheat, rye, etc., except for what they add to the dough which is why it doesn't get 5 stars. Stay away from the rolls and baguettes, the crusts are not crunchy at all. Having said that, this bread makes ABSOLUTELY the BEST toast you have ever eaten. Crunchy on the outside and still soft in the center. We cut our own slices, but their cutting machine doesn't waste any bread, the slices are very precise. If you want hearty bread to slather on butter and jam, this is where you want to go. We also give loaves as gifts, it's a can't miss. read more

Clean environment. Staff was very helpful and friendly. We ordered scones, sourdough bread and a crumble. Everything was delicious and thrilled that there are no preservatives read more

I bought a few items to try them out and the sourdough was really tough and not tasty. The cinnamon bread was good but the different rolls were very tough read more

I have been searching for a long time for a good loaf of sourdough bread in Missouri. traveled an hour to Springfield and found a cheerful friendly staff. Not a wide selection of bzkery goods. i paid $8.50 for a loaf of sourdough. This bread is hard to describe. it lacked a brown crusty exterior, there is no spring , it is dense and the mouth feel is chewy and doughy. It is seriously over or under-proofed, perhaps lacked enough heat or any steam during baking. It doesn't even brown when toasted on dark TWICE. Wont be going back. I ended up tossing the remains. read more

If I could leave no stars I would have. Stopped in Saturday about 1:45, I know it said closed at 2 but thought I'd see what they had, didn't have much but got loaf of cinnamon bread, jalapeño cheddar sourdough & cinnamon rolls. Asked if he could slice it, he would if I wanted to clean slicer, should be cleaned after they close. Said 1st time in, didn't live in area asked where from told him and he said must not have money. Well I spent $27 on 3 items, that weren't worth it at all & we have family that live here that said I should have just left without buying after his comments. read more

Very nice people. Delicious bread! I got the sourdough and French and was very impressed.

The quintessential and often overlooked staple of any well-rounded meal is the bread. When prepared with care, bread becomes that savory side dish which unties and often carries the other meal items down the hatch. For anyone who has ever spent an afternoon elbow deep in flour and yeast, working with bread's finicky ingredients can often be frustrating and un-rewarding. It takes just one bite to realize that the Breadsmith is an artisan to the tragically under-appreciated craft of turning ordinary ingredients into sandwich-transforming bread. I have tried several different varieties of their bread including the French Baguettes, Honey White, Wheat Loaf, and the Ciabatta. My assessment is that their loaves tend to be on the more rustic and earthy side. When taking a bite of their bread, I get the impression that I am eating something substantial... Especially in contrast to the air-filled lifeless white sandwich loaves that I have been consuming most of my life. The slightly rougher and more stiff texture means that their bread is a highly stable vehicle for your most wild sandwich fantasies. The only downfall seems to be that it operates according to the bakery formula... meaning you have to wake up early to get the goods. But even the Breadsmith has a solution for this! They send their buttery loaves to at least one local grocery store that I know of (Harter House). Even while shopping in the evening, I can still usually manage a good find. As you might imagine, the loaves are a tad pricey (as far as bread is concerned), but hard work and effort ought to be rewarded. Besides, just their white bread is far superior to any run of the mill bleached white flour "Wonderbread" variety that you have been mistreating your body with. Bottom line is, if you like a hearty sandwich you have to try these slices as your building blocks. read more

I am happy I don't live close to the Breadsmith. I would weigh 700 pounds and probably end up in a carb coma on the sidewalk in front of their store. Needless to say, their bread is spectacular. Everything I've ever had from here is good-from the basic dinner rolls to the fancy specialty loaves. Be sure to pick up a calendar that shows what day they will be baking an extra special type. I am a big fan of their garlic cheese bread, which has swirls of cheese and big chunks of garlic...it's heavenly, and someday I will not inhale half a loaf so I can get it home and heat it up. I can only imagine that bread warm from the oven. The staff is fantastic as well-they will offer you samples and often have a loaf or two in their display case that they will let you try. I could go on and on about Breadsmith, but it's easier if you just go. You'll find something you can't live without trying or taking home. read more

Best sourdough I have ever had! And I've had a lot! And the man working there (I didn't get his name) was so friendly and likable! I can't wait to try some some of their other breads! read more

I have been a customer since they opened. Nothing but good to say about the food and the folks. Today's visit was just good fun, and good bread! read more

Absolutely love this place! I am originally from Erie, PA, and on my first visit down here, my future sister-in-law took me here. Now, three years later, I'm living in Springfield and Breadsmith has already become one of my staples! They offer a great variety of breads, baked fresh - you can smell the aroma as soon as you walk in the door. Every bread I've tried has been absolutely amazing. Yes, it is pricier than going to the grocery store, but worth every cent. My personal favorite: the cheddar sourdough bread. Another great thing about this place: the personal service. Almost every time my fiance and I go in there, we are not only told the specialty breads of the day, but even given ideas for pairings, such as what kind of spread is best on each different bread. You can tell that the workers are passionate about what they do, they're not just drudges in it for the paycheck. We are always treated warmly and welcomed, and with only our second visit, the gentleman working the counter had remembered that I prefer my bread unsliced. We were given a calendar for the bread specials (which is now on our fridge) and were directed to the website, which I've just checked out and am really impressed with - lots of great tips and information there, too! Great service! Great bread! What's else is there to say? read more

I only bought a lemon blueberry scone for $1.94. The scone was extremely dry as it tasted like they used dried blueberries in the scone. It tasted like a gluten free piece of sawdust. I've had much better buttery, moist, and flaky scones elsewhere. read more

If I have the extra money I will buy my breads here but its cheaper at the walmart behind the store.
