    Bread and Flours feels like a hidden gem in Palm Springs. Tucked away a bit, it feels special, and…read morehonestly I'm surprised there isn't a line around the corner. This sourdough bakery is super cute, the staff is always top notch and genuinely friendly, and everything we've tried has been excellent. The sourdough is exactly what you want: just the right natural tang, a soft interior, and a crisp crust. They also carry and make so many other amazing items beyond the bread itself. The staff gives solid recommendations, and even when they have things we've never heard of, they take the time to explain them well. Their baked goods are consistently fantastic, and the citrus-marinated olives never even make it all the way home because we end up eating them in the car. We do not live especially close, but whenever we are in Palm Springs and have the time, we make it a point to stop by.

    Bread and Flours is what I've been hunting for since I arrived in Palm Springs: real sourdough,…read morefour ingredients, and I asked before I bought. Most bread sold in this country is an engineering problem solved with a chemistry set. Twenty-odd ingredients, half of them unpronounceable, all in service of a loaf that can sit on a shelf for two weeks and still pass for food. I've been reading those labels since I got here, and putting most of them back. So I asked Kristin -- who owns the place with her husband Mark -- what goes into the sourdough. Four ingredients. That was the entire answer. You can watch the argument for it before you taste it. Mark works behind glass at the back of the shop, which means the bread isn't a product that arrives, it's a process you can stand and watch. Most of what's on the shelves is made there. The loaf earns a sales pitch it never bothers to make. The crust is hydrated and resists -- it doesn't shatter, doesn't crack apart, and never makes you work your jaw to get through a bite. Behind it, the crumb is tight and custardy, tears cleanly, and holds under work without saturating. The sour sits somewhere between lactic and acetic, neither overbearing nor understated. The bake is blond, the texture substantial -- chewy without ever becoming exhausting. If you come to sourdough chasing a crust that shatters and blisters, this one will disappoint you. It isn't built for that, and holding it against the loaf would be a mistake. A crust that splinters is a crust that quits the moment you ask it to carry something. That's the whole test, and most sourdough fails it in one direction or the other. Bread that's lovely with butter and jam collapses as soon as you build on it. Bread engineered for a sandwich is dull on its own. This does both without compromising for either -- plain with butter, or loaded up as a gourmet sandwich with everything inside, and it holds. Eleven dollars a loaf. Below what this level of craftsmanship could command. The Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookie is soft, with a properly caramelized exterior and just a hint of sourdough running underneath the sugar. The chocolate manages smooth and sharp at the same time. The Seasonal Strawberry Oat Crumble Bar is built rather than assembled. The oats are chewy and read as sweet oatmeal, not the dry feed most bars settle for; the strawberry is fresh, tart, and clearly deliberate, nothing like the thick gelatinous jam usually spooned into these things. The crumble is buttery and hydrated just enough that it doesn't lodge in every crevice of your mouth. It sits on a crust closer to a well-baked pie than a bar base, and nothing in it overpowers anything else. Both did the thing that separates real baking from the industrial version. You finish and you're happy, ready to get on with your day. Not heavy, not tired. Food is meant to energize you, not slow you down. Most of what gets sold as bread does the opposite.

    *And the Oscar Goes To?*…read more What better way than today to surprise my Leading Lady with some Oscars? My wife sampled all the Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars in the store and narrowed it down to one of each. As for her Leading Man? I chose the ARTiChoke HeARTs of Palm Tapenade. As for my Supporting Cast? Mom will be ecstatic when she receives her Highland Butterscotch Sauce Oscar Award. Dad will LOVE the Hot Chocolate Fudge Sauce Oscar he'll be awarded. Best Director Nominee, Micheal, who manages the store, managed to captivate my wife for nearly an hour with samples, lessons and the history of all the products. {{{big round of applause}}} Thankfully, Best Supporting Actress Nominee, Hailey, was there today too, to assist all the other customers while Micheal gave his undivided attention to my Leading Lady & Wife. {{{big round of applause}}} Can't say enough about this place...and can't wait to indulge in all the spectacular one of a kind items purchased today. Olivier of Napa Valley on El Paseo, Knocks it Outta the Park. And the Red Carpet too.

    Such a nice shop!!…read more At first I thought that it was just olives but there is so much more: sauces,, mustards, "cremes" (sorr of like lemon or other fruit curds", interesting kitchen items, and, of course, olive oil. The customer service is top notch, and as a bonus, the prices are quite reasonable for gourmet food items. The store is nicely appointed and decorated.
