They're dense and not greasy like the typical donuts you can find elsewhere, and my husband loves their sema and empanadas. Whenever we're in the area, we usually stop by. It's worth the drive.

Be aware...you must order by 12 noon two days prior to your planned pick up date (except for sliced sourdough which they always have available) and cash only. But so worth the effort if, like us, you're a sourdough connosuier.

I bought a loaf of their sliced Sourdough at Pezzini Farms. I did baulk at the $7.99 price tag, but…read moreit was a large loaf. (Note: I am a bread snob that lives in San Francisco and even make Sourdough bread myself on occasion - but it is a pain in the ass.) The cashier at Pezzini Farms did say it was really good (But she said everything as good). She was not lying, I am down to our last few slices and kinda sad b/c I won't have access to it for a while again as we live a couple hours away. I made triple decker clubs and fresh tomato and mozzarella sandwiches, normally I am a "toasted" bread gal, but this was great untested for many iterations too! The slices are huge, so sliced them half for regular sized sandwiches.

I eneded up getting the monkey bread and the artichoke escargot (don't worry, there aren't any snails; its just shaped like a shell) and thought they were both divine. The monkey bread was just the perfect amount of sweet without being overwhelming but the artichoke was the real star of the show. It was so flaky and garlicy. Just typing this review makes me want another one! The shop itself is really small and the parking lot seems to fill up fast. They do have a few tables out front for a quick nibble but something to keep in mind when visiting.

She saw me come over…read moreand continued to chat with her friend for a good 2-3 minutes while I stood and patiently waited. When she finally looked over, I asked if I could taste the kimchee. Then she very rudely responded that the market has been closed for twenty minutes (although most stands were still selling) and that she was all done and gave me a dirty look. If she was closing up shop for the day, she could have addresses me politely, and furthermore started taking down the signs that says try our kimchee! But she did neither, and was just hanging out with her friend complaining about something and decided to take her anger out on me. Although they make quite tasty kraut, I will not support a business who hires salespeople to be so unprofessional rude to its customers.

I had seen his sign for months at 31 Mesa Way driving up to our beach house and decided to order his Cinnamon Buns. They were great. And the best part is Bobby the baker delivers them to your home on Sunday morning (in the Sunset Beach community). We had tried them twice with no complaints. He has a menu he emails once a week with other great items like scones, stromboli, savory pasties, etc. Will love to try some of these on his menu the next time we are in town. (Email him at bobbybaker1133@gmail.com to request the weekly menu.) I haven't been there, but he also sells his baked goods at the Corralitos Farmers Market. We would need to check out that market too. :-)
