In addition to sourdough bread, they have an assortment of baked goods (scones, cookies, etc.) and coffee/tea. Do yourself a favor for the baked goods and warm them up - it makes a WORLD of difference. I didn't think I really liked their chocolate chip cookie until I warmed it up and it changed everything. I've also tried their rosemary focaccia, which was incredible. Their cranberry walnut loaf was good but not my favorite. And the brownie is just heavenly. Looking forward to trying more of their offerings! Just remember to bring cash for a 3% discount :)

I love a good bakery, and I'm so glad Metro Detroit (in particularly Troy) has an artisan bread spot like this. I wanted to try it before I left the area, so my high school friend and I checked it out during our lunch break earlier this week. After we got out of the car, parked a few spots away from the bakery, I could smell the freshly baked, yeasty aroma which got me even more excited. The interior is small and simple, but there's a variety of sourdough options (see menu attached), focaccias, and pastries. On the right side, there's also granolas and teas for sale, along with samples of the hibiscus tea which was refreshing. "E. BAGEL" SOURDOUGH - 13 My dad likes bread and eats a couple slices raw for breakfast everyday, so I figured he might like the "everything but the bagel" option. It was nutty, but also fluffy and bouncy. I don't get the appeal of eating bread on its own; if it were up to me, I would enjoy this with some toppings like avocado and tomato. LEMON + BLUEBERRY SCONE - 4.50 I didn't really want to try any of the scones because the amount of glaze drizzled on top made me think it was going to be way too sweet. My high school friend bought me one to try, and it was actually not sweet at all! The scone was nutty, lightly sweetened by the lemon glaze that wasn't even that sweet. I love the combination of lemon and blueberry. This is different than other scones I've had! CHOCOLATE + ORANGE MUFFIN - 5 Good and also not too sweet. This leans more chocolate tasting than orange, which is a bit subtle. It didn't taste overly fatty either, which aren't most muffins! Pretty solid, but I enjoyed the scone more. I really liked the sourdough and pastries from Sourdough Ida. I'm excited to get more of the scones in future visits!

Excellent small mom and pop bakery. The majority of the business is bread that is fresh baked…read moredaily that has excellent texture and taste. Prices are a super value for this area where a large loaf of their Sour Dough bread is only $4.50. As a comparison, Zingermans large sourdough loaf which I buy on a regular basis is $8.50 these days and their size is clearly not nearly as large as the Gold N Bakery loaf. For bread this good and of this quality you cant touch this price at any of the stores I frequent. And when I say it is a large loaf, it's a LARGE loaf versus other sour doughs you get elsewhere. The store itself is really not much to look at where there is a pretty sparse order counter in the front where the bakery is clearly visible in the back with racks full of fresh bread clearly visible from the front. Nice! This is a clear example of substance over style which I so appreciate as most businesses dont do this anymore. Overall if fresh well made bread is your thing and you don't want to pay an exorbitant price for it than this is a business you absolutely must visit. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

I don't have to drive to Dearborn for man'oushé (flat bread) if I am nearby for work. 2 Everything is fresh, bread is roll off from a machine at the back and then bake in the brick oven. They need to bake it a little longer because the back of the bread is sort of white. 3. Meat bread is not oily for some reason. more tomato flavor compare to other bakery. Maybe that's how the owner likes it. 4. Zaatar flavor is mild, herb is not overwhelming. Maybe because I ate it when it was cold. 5. Cheese bread is good, bread is thick like pita bread which is odd. Nice to see owner sitting there watching the whole operation.

I was a bit annoyed by the people standing in front of the counter as if that was going to get them called faster. I had to go down the aisle to talk to the lady when my number was called because some dude wouldn't budge. (Not the fault of the business of course). The staff was so nice and gave me suggestions on what to try. The service was excellent. For sandwiches, we tried the Italian and prosciutto. The meats were really good. Unfortunately, the oil and herbs wasn't on my husband's sub, and I think they accidentally put mild peppers instead of hot. 3/5 I learned you come here for the baked goods!!!! I tried the tiramisu, cannoli, and got an old fashioned donut for my hubs. I had a harm time choosing what delectable sweet to take home. The tiramisu was stellar. 5/5 I wish the front had a little less wine and a seating area to have a donut and coffee. It's not that kind of place to sit down and have an espresso, but still a very cool spot. They have an online order option which I'll try next time.
