I'll be honest, I was waiting in line for BBQ across the street and my wife got some Baklava Croissant with Pistachio from this spot for us. Maybe it was the heat or just wanting to eat something but it was amazing! The texture of the pastry was really unique and the pistachio inside was delicious. I really enjoyed eating it and was impressed by the quality and flavor. read more

This little bakery is always out of stuff by the time I get there but I was early this time. However most everything was chocolate which isn't my first pick. They had a lemon blueberry sourdough muffin so I got 1 to try. When I had it the next day for breakfast, I was pleasantly surprised by how many blueberries were in the muffin itself. I've had muffins before where the blueberries were only on top for looks. This one had it throughout. The muffin also was not too sweet at all. I really enjoyed it. Would but again! SYOY! read more

Amazing sourdough. I love bread and this place is dangerous for me. I want to move in! Get there early before they sell out. Try the different flavors. The rosemary garlic and classic flavors are my favorites. Well, unless there's Italian Parmesan or ...... just try it! read more

Stopped by FKN Bakery while my wife was at a doctor's appointment and decided to grab a couple of cookies (I'm a big cookie fan and always down to try a new spot). Glad I did -- these were very good. I went with the salted chocolate chip and the peanut butter dark chocolate. Both were crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, generously sized, and reasonably priced. Easy 4 out of 5 stars for each. Parking was a little tricky...ended up in the back paid lot, didn't feel like paying the two bucks, so I made it a quick in-and-out mission and was relieved to come back to my car still ticket-free am I had two cookies in a brown bag - win win and a grin! Didn't get a chance to try the bread this time, but I'll definitely be back to check it out. Big thumbs up for the cookies read more

We were eating brunch at Breezy and was curious to see what type of bread they sell solely by their name. We got the cheddar jalopeno sourdough bread to bring back to LA. The owner was really friendly and shared that the the name is the first letter of his kids name. When I got home, I tried the bread and it was *chef's kiss* very delicious when toasted with butter. It's a vert small shop, mainly to go. read more

I'm finally deciding to write a review for FKN. I made the decision, because we just had another incredible sandwich from here. If you want delicious AND consistent!!!!! This is your place. All of their food is unreal. Sourdough specialists!!! Italian sandwich is my favorite. Cookies from FKN are way better than anywhere else. You'll find me wearing a FKN hat, because I love the food here SO much. read more

Cousin called and wanted to come over for afternoon sandwiches so I thought yes! I'll get some FKN bread but no, because they don't slice the bread. They don't slice the bread "...because it's fresh." What in the world does this mean? read more

I personally want to tell you to stay away from this place, it's way too addicting and good. My husband and I can't get enough of their sourdough. I would show pictures but the bread never makes it that long. You honestly can't go wrong with anything you buy here but a must is the sourdough and the jalapeño cheese scones. If you ever get a chance, go. FKN does not disappoint. The place is quick and easy for pick up, it always smells amazing and the service is always great. Definitely a must! read more

A short stroll from the pristine beaches and just steps from the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano sits a bakery that doesn't merely serve pastries -- it summons miracles. This shop makes baked goods sing like angels in perfect harmony. The Chocolate Chip Cookie: The Pace-Setter of the Entire Space The staff is warm, engaging, and genuinely delighted to guide you through their treasure chest of baked wonders. The shop itself is cozy, inviting, and stacked with options for both the seasoned pastry pilgrim and the newly initiated disciple of dough. I sampled a lineup of croissants, scones, and muffins -- each one impressive, each one earning high marks. But I was on a mission of my own: the cookie. And friends... they delivered. Imagine a salt-kissed masterpiece glowing golden brown, infused with buttery richness and a gently crisp edge that gives way to a soft, risen, perfectly harmonized center. It's reminiscent of your first true chocolate-chip-cookie awakening -- but elevated, refined, perfected. This cookie is a textbook symphony of sweet and salt, worth every penny. If it were a blade, it would be a samurai sword slicing cleanly through the oversized, underwhelming cookie darkness plaguing today's bakeries -- restoring hope, balance, and wonder to taste buds everywhere. In short: This bakery doesn't just bake. It redeems. "I'll be back!" read more

If you're reading this, here's what you need to do. Go to FKN bread and purchase any sourdough loaf because they're all delicious. Then go home, slice it, toast it and put some good butter on it. Thank me later. Maybe even get yourself a pastry too. They're all great but the lemon blueberry muffin hits different. Don't have a photo of it because my mouth was not patient enough. PSA: I am officially addicted to their chocolate chip cinnamon sourdough loaf. Might be one of the best things I've ever eaten and I will continue to purchase it and eat it for dessert every night. Thank you. read more

It has been a long time since I last visited FKN Bread. It's quite a bit of a drive for me, so it takes some planning to make my way out here. A friend of mine stopped by this weekend and picked up a Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough loaf ($13) for me. I'm happy to report that FKN Bread still makes the best Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough. They don't skimp on the jalapeño or cheddar. Their sourdough has just the right fermented taste that makes me crave it. I was afraid their prices might have skyrocketed since my last visit years ago, but at $13, it's still reasonable for the size and quality of the loaf. Thank you, FKN Bread, for maintaining the quality over the years. Keep it up! read more

We stopped by this bakery right before heading into The Mission. FKN are initials of their sons. I didn't know what to expect when I walked in. From the outside, I thought it was bigger but it's a cute tiny little grab and go place. Each of the pastries are on display. Then I noticed this bakery specializes in everything sourdough which is my least favorite bread. We got ham and cheese sourdough croissant and chocolate sourdough croissant. Even though I'm not a fan of sourdough, it wasn't tastable in the ham and cheese but very noticeable in the dark chocolate croissant. Had the sour salty flavor. It's a matter of preference and sourdough is just not for me. I also wished they could have offered to heat it up. Instead it was cold and hard. They sell fresh baked loaves and we were told they sell out quickly. read more

Best sourdough anywhere. Sandwiches I finally tried Italian Not really filled with much meat vs even a subway or Jersey Mike Peppers on it overwhelmed any taste at all Bread that I love felt stale Vs what I get when I make a home sandwich with your sourdough Maybe a busy Saturday. ? You win on selling loaf You win on baked goods You lost me on every ordering a sandwich from you again. Way better options close by read more

We stopped by for a quick peak to see what they had left round 2pm. They did not have much so I got the chocolate cupcake and chocolate banana bread muffin. Oh my goodness, that was one of the best chocolate cupcakes I've had. I didn't realize it would have a peanut butter frosting but it was heavenly! It was salty and sweet and worked great with the moist chocolate cupcake. The banana bread muffin was a bit on the dry side but I would venture out here again just for that cupcake and to try other items! read more

This must be a five star place as I realized I drove 45 minutes to grab some goodies twice in one month. It was a positive day. I snagged parking right up front in busy San Juan, and FKN had their jalapeño cheddar loaf in stock. There is a sweet young woman working up front who greeted me and when asked for suggestions, she gave her favorites and what was popular. Her favorites included the everything bagel croissant for savory items and pumpkin muffin for sweet. They both were absolutely scrumptious. The bagel croissant was all fluffiness and butter w cream cheese as a bonus. Pumpkin muffin was moist and balanced. I haven't eaten the loaf yet but my coworker recommended to toast a slice with butter when I get home. Others that were recommended for its popularity include the baklavah muffin. Always a treat for family, friends and coworkers. Ambiance feels rustic, industrial and homey. read more

Have great breads and pastries, and sourdough cookies which are so unique. The last bread I got of the garlic and rosemary sourdough was spectacular, the texture was perfection. Not sure how long line is later on weekend days but when I went on weekday late morning there was no line, and line was short when my husband went super early on Saturday. The worker who helped me was very nice. Only bummer is bc of area I had to park in structure and pay $2 for hour of parking. read more

I was on a work trip and was looking for a place to eat lunch. I heard about this restaurant from a social media influencer. When I entered the restaurant I was greeted by staff. The staff were friendly and very helpful. I ordered the turkey sandwich and the brown butter cookie. The turkey sandwich came with avocado, pepper jack cheese, arugula and mustard on sourdough bread. The sandwich was delicious and very filling. The cookie was also delicious and soft. The ambiance is customer friendly and very nice shop. This is a great place to go for lunch. read more

Drove up to SJC from Oceanside to take a friend to lunch for her birthday. We walked past FKN Bread on our way to the restaurant and decided to stop by after eating. We were warmly greeted as we walked in. There were a few pastries, though we decided to ask about the sour dough bread choices. We opted to take advantage of the 2 for $20 special. My friend got the everything loaf and I got the Cinnamon Chocolate Chip. Each loaf was huge! Tried a piece the following day, it was fabulous! I cut up and frozen the rest. read more

I absolutely love this place. Killer everything esp the Italian. I'm from the east coast (Philly) so it's hard to find a good Italian around here and this one is so damn good. That being said, they go light on the amount of meat, which is understandable considering the ratio of bread. I get extra meat. I'm docking one star because ya'll gave me the cold cut end to what I think is ham - not cool. Also, would love to see ya'll use some capicola. Just one slice of that would make this sandwich all world. read more

Friendly people manning the bread. I love that sourdough is their bread and butter here. Cookies, muffins, croissants and breads are all made off this dough for a unique flavor .... Or rather everything has that sourdough punch to it. I love their pistachio croissant the most but I don't think you can go wrong here. It's a small shop so no spot to really sit and eat, it's def more of a take away spot or a place to get some loaves for the road. read more

I cannot sing the praises of FKN Bread enough. Today was the first day that we tried the place and my wife and I can safely say we found our go to bread spot (at least for the time being). The loaves are all the same affordable price and being the first customer of the day today the three loaves we purchased were so fresh. We purchased the Rosemary Garlic, Everything and Jalapeño Cheddar and all were full of flavor, freshness and all of the good smells you'd expect from just made bakery goods. The service was outstanding as the person behind the calendar was patient as I asked questions and made a switch of loaves at the last second. I also really liked the bakery ambiance with the exposed brick and the ability to see a significant amount of the bread making process. I was also impressed with their high quality website with selection of single serving baked goods including sweets (which I will try my next visit!) read more

A friend has been talking about trying bread from here for a while so while I was running errands I popped in and let her know I can pick up whatever she wanted. The parking can be difficult. There's a few spaces directly in front and a pay parking lot in the back. I just parked in the back and hoped I didn't get a ticket for my quick stay. FKN Bread is a pick up and take home spot. There's no room to sit and enjoy inside. I was expecting just sourdough bread varieties, but there was also a pumpkin loaf, pastries, muffins, and cookies! My friend got the classic sourdough loaf and the everything sourdough loaf. She also got a lemon blueberry muffing, and a variety of six different cookies. I bout myself just two cookies. My friend raved about the everything sourdough loaf and sent me back for the pumpkin bread and more sourdough iced sugar cookies. I had one of the sourdough sprinkles cookies the day before and had to get another! I also tried the brown butter toffee chocolate chip sea salt cookie, which was amazing and have been dreaming about that one as well. I love supporting small businesses and will stop by every time I'm in the area! read more

Huge sucker for bakeries and the name of this one is intriguing... I had to go in & see what's up. I walked out with a jalapeño cheddar sourdough loaf, a sourdough almond croissant, chocolate croissant, brown sugar oatmeal cookie, & the parmesan garlic scone. A lot more than I intended. Lol. The croissants are meh, they're okay. The oatmeal cookie is good. The jalapeño cheddar sourdough loaf is bomb... but to my surprise the PARMESAN GARLIC SCONE is so so good. I almost made a U-turn to get more. Good service. Small shop but seems busy. read more

I'm a little shocked I haven't written a review for this little bakery yet... See, it all started back in 2020 when the pandemic started and I was searching high and low for a delicious chocolate chip cookie. That's when I came across this lovely family baking out of their home and providing their community with delicious baked goods... Fast forward and here we are... and I'm still in love with their sourdough chocolate chip cookies. A few of my pics are from 2020... and some more recent. Now they have a storefront and cute packaging with their name on it. So different than picking it up from the front of their place, but I'm so glad they have survived and are doing well! If you get a chance, try them out. Or at the least, their sourdough chocolate chip cookies. They are delicious, and have such a great texture to them... almost like it has oats in it - maybe they do! Maybe they don't. Either way... get them. read more

The last time I was in SJC, I saw FKN and wanted to try it, but since the line was so long I decided not to. During my visit this week, I was waiting for my takeaway order from Breezy and saw that there was no line so I headed over. They have a nice selection of pastries, sandwiches, and loaves of beautiful breads! I was curious that their croissants are sourdough based, so I decided to purchase a couple to try. And of course I couldn't resist passing on their scone and coffee cake! Their chocolate cinnamon bread peaked my interest as well. The employee said it makes a great french toast, so I decided to give it a try. Everything I tried was great. I loved that the scone was like a biscuit - buttery and crispy on the bottom. The chocolate cinnamon bread had chocolate folded throughout the loaf, but I didn't really taste the cinnamon. It's a sourdough bread, so you can taste the tang of the sourdough with the chocolate which makes for an interesting flavor, but I enjoyed a slice of it toasted and topped with some peanut butter, blueberries, and honey. I also used it to make french toast and it was good as well, although I prefer a softer type of bread for my french toast personally. It's a generous sized loaf so I sliced half of it into smaller slices and stuck it in the freezer to enjoy later! read more

With a name like FKN bread, I had to know more. Seems the initials are the owner's children's names. Very clever and definitely draws business. They sell a small selection of pastries as well as breads and sandwiches. Grabbed some cookies to take home even though I thought they were a little bit pricey. The Death by Chocolate cookie absolutely lives up to its name. Wish I bought more. read more

Updating review to say that this place stands the test of time - it is a staple to bring any visiting friends (or yet-to-be-introduced locals!) to, and everyone always leaves happy.

Was walking around town and came by this little place. I mean, who doesn't love bread/bakery. The lobby area is small but the selection of baked goods is nice. They even have sourdough cookies. We went with a baklava roll & 2 loafs of jalapeño & cheddar bread. The baklava was different and delicious. The bread was perfect. We did grilled cheese sandwiches & egg sandwiches. Was a tad pricy for me but you pay for what you get. Service was good. Staff were pleasant. read more
