    Country loaf
    Cynthia C.

    Amazing sourdough bread. Better than all the bakeries in Alameda and neighboring cities, This past weekend finally picked up a loaf at the Webster/Haight farmer's market. Moist and meaty in the middle and just enough crunch chew to the crust but not so much your gums get sore. The corn cookie - textured and satisfying. Super unique and def on my short list of cookies. Highly recommend and without a storefront, their prices are extremely reasonable for the quality.

    Beautifully made bread

    Truly one of the best bread in the bay area! It has the perfect amount of sourdough. It is beautifully baked with the perfect amount of caramel color and airy holes when you slice into it. The bread is very satisfying. It keeps you full for a while. Trevor is a true artisan. He really cares about the product and purchases the finest milled whole grain flour weekly from Petaluma. He and his partner, Robin are both really sweet. You can order your bread through his website and pick-up your bread in Alameda. They maintain safe Covid distancing practices. Order in advance to get your bread. He only makes limited amounts.

    Amazing Bread! Amazing Baker! Nothing better to have a Sunday morning brunch with! #avacadotoast

    It's the only sourdough I buy besides Arsicault, and I honestly prefer it, it's more substantial and hearty, less soft.

I was cheering up at the thought of trying their good looking pastries and bread and I was about to order myself a number of items. I went to order the chicken pesto focaccia and the Oldet Gentlemen at the counter was so rude. He corrected me and called it a pizza with an attitude. I also ordered a coffee and he rudely and impatiently asked me the size. This is my first time here so I was maybe a bit slower to order and know the menu names and sizes but there was only one pesto chicken thing on the menu and it's in the shape of focaccia bread. I stopped ordering anything else because the gentlemen was so rude. I will now hesitate to visit this place and will never buy anything. if he is the cashier again. I usually order a lot of different things when I'm trying new places and I like to be loyal and frequent places and always leave a tip but I will def think twice before visiting next time. Their chicken pesto was okay. The english muffins looked really good but I didn't want to purchase because of the interaction.

Jamie W and I decided to pay a visit after our gym workout because we figured we could reward ourselves for breaking a sweat. Arriving in the last hour before closing, we were happily anticipatory that their display case was still well stocked. It was no surprise how gorgeous it was. We had seen the Instagram photos of the visually striking, trompe l'oeil "fruit" pastries (Photo 6). They were indeed mini-works of art with thin, white-chocolate shells that easily crack open to reveal appropriately sweet fillings. We limited ourselves to four items because we didn't want to get carried away...literally. Besides, they weren't cheap. Our priciest item was the $14.50 Peanut shaped like a giant peanut shell and filled with a light peanut butter mousse. There was also a strawberry gelee and a crisp peanut butter wafer that helped reflect the intended PBJ concept. It was just a bit sweet for me. The second item, the $12 Coconut, was my favorite. It was designed to look like a perfectly cracked open coconut with the outer hull made of textured milk chocolate and the "meat" made of white chocolate (Photo 7). The macapuno entremet core reflected co-owner Monique Feybasse's Filipino background. It consisted of coconut whipped cream mousse freckled with macapuno and coconut shavings, and a chocolate coconut sponge cake. The entirety was a true tropical experience. The $8.50 Pistachio Eclair was the most straightforward of the quartet with a golden pate-a-choux shell, pistachio pastry cream with a matcha-like powder, and chopped pistachios (Photo 10). The basic approach taken was enhanced by the quality of the execution. The $4.50 Madeleine was a comparative bargain and quite a treat, providing a soft-crumbed sponge cake covered in a pistachio coating shaped like a seashell (Photo 9). Monique and her husband Paul clearly know what they're doing, having extensive experience in Michelin-starred restaurants like the acclaimed Geranium in Copenhagen. On Sunday afternoon, there was a constant stream of customers, many of them regulars who knew exactly what to order. FOOD - 4 stars...craftsmanship and execution are aces, some satisfy more than others, also a bit pricey AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...crowded so hard to tell beyond the striking displays SERVICE - 4 stars...nice though necessarily transactional TOTAL - 4 stars...definitely an eyeful even more than a mouthful RELATED - Exploring Oakland?

It wasn't overly sweet and still maintained that earthy matcha flavor that many places tend to lose when they jump on the matcha trend. My husband ordered the Vanilla Bean Caramel Latte, also from the seasonal menu, and loved it so much that he said this is now his favorite coffee spot. Safe to say, whenever we're back in town, we'll definitely be returning!

The seating is mostly at table tables along the wall walls of window. It was kind of neat to be able to sit and watch people walk by in the traffic as it ebbed and flowed toward the bridge. The early morning was rather quiet outside so it wasn't noisy at all. I had a lovely chai latte, extra spicy. It was perfect after the chilly walk to this little space of warmth. They had a nice selection of pastries, ultimately I chose a danish because I love them. This one did not disappoint. It was tender and flaky and went perfectly dipped in my chai. If ever, we are in the area again, I will definitely pay another visit. It was nice to step into a local place that wasn't a chain. I think the quality of staff and consumable offerings was just so much better than you would find at one of the other places.
