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!

The real entrance is a back door that looks pretty uninviting but trust me, you want to enter it. When you are inside you will be met with racks of freshly baked bread ready to go home with you. If no one is around just holler out and someone will be with you promptly. Palermo's is a commercial bakery that you can find in nearby grocery stores but why not go directly to the source and support local. We picked up a sourdough baguette, a sweet baguette, and a few sandwiches rolls. Overall, my favorite was the sourdough baguette. I can't wait to come back here and order more bread to share. *** cash only ***

ITS COFFEE ALRIGHT…read more The hype is real. The line wraps out the door. The smell is strong and the wait is long. They are limited to a few flavors and lack any signature drinks. But they have just about all you can extract from an espresso machine ie latte cappuccino, americano. My latte was steamed properly and I got an extra shot in my large vanilla latte. The only issue was they forgot the vanilla, but I didn't mind just adding it in later. The blue corn cookie was interesting. A mix of corn bread and a sugar cookie. Would eat again. In all it wasn't bad, but for an hour wait anyone would be neutral with their experience here.

Absolute perfection, crispy on the outside with that caramelized, slightly charred sugar, and packed with soft apple pieces inside. The texture balance was unreal: crunchy edges with a soft, sweet center. The ube donut was good too, definitely on the sweeter side. If you love sweet treats, you'll enjoy it, but I personally wished the ube flavor came through a bit more to balance it out. The blueberry donut was another standout. Super soft and muffin-like with plenty of blueberry flavor throughout, plus a nice outer layer for texture. Honestly way better than a typical chain version. Donut holes were solid as well, simple, fresh, and satisfying. Overall, everything tasted fresh and high quality. Service was fast, and the baker was super friendly, hooked it up with extra donuts, which made the experience even better. The vibe was welcoming, and it's definitely a spot worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

There were actually a number of pastries I wanted so I will have to return and try some more later on. The service was attentive and polite. The staff work in a cramped area behind the counter, albeit decorated, since the building itself is the same size as the State Park exhibited buildings from the past. I felt this appearance was very charming to match its bakery vibes. :) I would not pass this establishment by without giving this a try. So if you're visiting-- I'd recommend you check this out :)
