Stumbled across this place scrolling Yelp for a post girls flag football game on a Saturday morning. I'm glad we did! It's tucked away off Indian School Road, but worth the effort to find it. We had a couple of ham & cheese croissants, a couple of chocolate chip cookies and specialty coffee, plus tea. Everything was fresh and delicious. Interesting in that they were out of ice though. In any case we enjoyed our visit and food. They have many specialty breads from olive loves, multi-grain, French and more. Noticed there was mostly takeout, but there are 3 small tables each with 2 chairs, however no outside seating. read more

My husband and I were looking for a place to grab a light bite before an appointment that I had and landed here! I'm soo glad we did. We were expecting a pastry shop but when we walked in we realized it is a sourdough store! They hand make everything fresh in house! We decided to try a cinnamon roll and ham and cheese croissant which were both delicious. After discovering all the different breads they had we decided to take one home with us- jalapeño cheddar and boy was it fabulous! We used it for a grilled cheese one night and turkey sandwich another! The prices here are fair. There is seating if you want to eat there. They also serve coffee/drinks and sourdough pizza but we didn't try any of that. It just gives us an excuse to come back! Customer service was good and fast as well!! read more

Really awesome sourdough bread would definitely try again. Service as friendly and quick

Walked in and we asked if they had more pastries because it looked like they were out. I was told yes then told no when we asked again. We won't return. The vibe was really weird including whispering while we were looking at the case. read more

I'm so grateful that the Proof team was open for Easter to serve such wonderful treats! I picked up some of my favorites: a jalapeño cheddar loaf and baguettes. Additionally I was tempted by the carrot cake croissants, Paska, and hot cross buns. The star of the show was the Paska, which was as beautiful in person as online. The texture was delicate with a light chew, and dotted with candied orange and cranberry! To put it lightly the Paska was promptly inhaled! I hope Paska becomes an Easter tradition at Proof. My only regret is that I didn't buy a second Paska. The croissants were excellent and reminded me of a spiced donut. Buttery, with a light glaze of sugar and carrot. The hot cross buns were excellent warmed up served with a generous amount of butter! read more

Hands down the best bakery in the Goodyear/Litchfield Park area! Their sourdough is off the chain! It's also really cool that they have fresh roman pizza to grab for a quick breakfast or lunch. So good! read more

Walked in this morning right at 7am. Was greeted by very friendly ladies. Was able to test few types of bread. YUMMY. Great flavors, fresh and delicious. Got few goodies to try. Lemon tart 10 out of 10. Full of flavor and right amount of tartness. Rosemary twist 10 out of 10. Size, flavor top notch. Morning bun 10 out of 10. Just right amount of everything. Cranberry walnut bread was my choice for today yes and yes with a warm piece of Brie cheese amazing addition for any charcuterie board. read more

I had read some of the reviews prior to coming here and there were a lot of complaints about prices. People who complain about the sourdough prices here have never made sourdough, and have no clue how much QUALITY ingredients cost. I was just in Miami trying out all the French bakeries and the pain au chocolat (chocolate croissant) HERE is cheaper/healthier and SOOOOO authentic! They literally grow their own grains! Start to finish! You guys did an incredible job and I'm so happy I found this place because it's hard to find nice places on the west side. I will DEFINITELY be back and recommend this place! Ashlyn and Stacie were AMAZING! Stacie made me an incredible dirty chai and per my many reviews of coffee I'm a very picky chai connoisseur. TRY THIS PLACE OUT BECAUSE IT IS WELL WORTH IT! read more

My mom and I came across this shop when looking for a nearby place that sells pastries for a morning snack. The shop itself is so cute with quite the relaxing atmosphere. Service was nice, we were greeted by two very friendly ladies. We got a ham and cheese croissant and a cinnamon roll. First bite you are immediately hit with flavor and airy, fluffy texture. We're so glad to have found this place. Looking to stop by again soon. :) read more

The pastries here are a step above most bakeries in the area. I had questions about some of the breads and pastries. The server was friendly and was happy to answer all my questions. Small and inviting store front. We will definitely be back. Stop in before the afternoon to ensure your favorite pastries aren't gone. read more

Can't say enough about this bakery. Proof has the best sourdough in the Valley, and such a unique variety of offerings. This is my first time at the Litchfield location, I was in the area, and too far from the farmers market, so I ordered my sourdough online and picked it up in store. They always have tempting pastries in their case and some yummy local provisions as well, like honey and olive oil. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. I usually go to the original Mesa location. But this one did the trick today! I grabbed a baguette and a loaf of their sliced multigrain. I like to order online, because they sell out fast no matter the location. They also have pizza as well. Check them out! read more

Proof Bakery has, by far, the best organic sourdough bread I have ever eaten! I went there on a recommendation from a friend. I had their sliced jalapeno cheddar sourdough and a piece of their pepperoni pizza. Fabulous!!! read more

I got pizza bread, and pecan pastry if sorts, and took a sourdough loaf home. All were amazing!

Originally found Proof at a farmer's market and my husband and I were so impressed with the croissant and bread we purchased that we HAD to find where they were located - what an INCREDIBLE surprise when we discovered they are in the West Valley!! Cannot say enough good things about this bakery - the love and flavor that is baked in is beyond compare. The Khorasan bread makes probably the best piece of toast I've ever had (and I've had toast all over the world... lol) If the taste and texture weren't enough - It has just 5 ingredients! These bread makers know what they're doing and have become our "go to" for bread and croissants. So happy to have you in the West Valley!! P.S. for a nice splurge, the morning bun is my favorite read more

Proof Artisan Bread, where carbs are a religion and I am a devout follower. That Pain Au Chocolat though, it's the holy grail of pastries. And, don't even get me started on their cheddar jalapeno sourdough, it's the epitome of perfection. Oh, and their vanilla latte? Heaven in a cup. While they do sell some coffee options are limited. Do not come with expectations this is a coffee shop in any way. The MVP is the bread here. If you come hungry they have a great lunch option of their sourdough pizza, a drink and a chocolate cookie...which by the way is amazing! I do recommend taking it to go as there is very limited seating. Service was great, vibrant chill, but parking can be a bit rough depending on time of day. read more

I have found my new favorite bakery! This shop in the West Valley of the Phoenix area also has a full café that I completely ignored on my first trip here, because I was so excited about the bread and pastries that are made with locally grown Rouge de Bordeaux wheat milled in-house at their Shea location. The ingredients here are so clean and so high-quality. Everything has the sourdough base. All ingredients are listed underneath each item. The bread is made with flour, water, Harriet & salt. For the Green Olive Boule set out for sampling on Sunday, they add the local Queen Creek green olives. I sampled this loaf and was amazed at the green olive aroma coming off of the samples. I loved the taste of the fresh sourdough, and could easily taste the green olives as well. It was a subtle sour and salty flavor. I immediately grabbed a loaf to take home. My daughter raved about how delicious her fruit pastry was and wanted to know where this bakery was so that she could go back. Luckily, they are close to home and work for her in Litchfield Park. The chocolate chip cookies are one of the best I've ever tried. They taste and smell home baked and are nice and big & thick. They are crispy on the outside but chewy in the middle. There are also pizzas available here made on the sourdough focaccia bread. These pizzas look so good and I really would love to come in for the lunch special one of these days. Every day lunch special includes: a slice of sourdough pizza, your choice of soda, milk, or water & classic chocolate chip cookie for $12. The service here is so friendly and helpful. I asked about eggs being in the pastries due to my egg yolk allergy and they were happy to discuss ingredients and options. I ordered five pastries and they let me know that if I got six pastries, I got a discount. I jumped all over that and ordered the fruit tart. I was really so impressed that we have such a high-quality bakery that puts a lot of time, love and attention into the quality of ingredients as well as the outcome and presentation so close to us here in the West valley. read more

This is my fave bakery to get iced lavender latte coffee and an almond croissant. A good pair to start the morning. The croissant is soft, sweet and has a perfect crunch with the almond toppings. The iced coffee is bold, strong, and I like the hint of lavender. Inside the bakery is small and has limited seating area. They have different types of artisan bread and they are able to sliced it inside the premises. read more

Came back to try their pizza and just as expected, was super delicious. Was told that it's made with their ciabatta starter, which gives it a fluffy texture. I have now converted my friend into coming every week for her sourdough bread fix. read more

This charming bakery offers a delightful array of freshly baked goods, including a variety of artisan bread and delectable pastries. Standout items include the Roman pizza and the irresistible sourdough and almond croissants. Don't miss out on trying their Dirty Chai, a unique and flavorful beverage that combines chai with a shot of espresso for a delightful twist. I like getting it iced and if you have other dairy preferences they can customize your drink. This bakery is a haven for those seeking high-quality, artisanal treats in a small cozy setting. There are only two tables so it's not a place to bring a party but to sip some morning brew and have some delightful pastries to yourself. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or to stock up on bread, this bakery is sure to leave you satisfied and eager for a return visit. read more

What a local gem! Everything here is incredibly fresh and delicious. The coffee was fantastic, and the focaccia pizza was wonderfully spongy and full of flavor.

It's Saturday and we realized almost too late we were running out of our stash of Hope's Artisan Sourdough bread. We hopped in the car to get here before they closed. We got there just in time! Phew. (Hope's is only open from Thursday to Saturday.) The line was long and they almost ran out of bread by the time we arrived. We ordered two loaves of sourdough a brownie and a lemon cookie. The pastries and bread were all displayed. It's a cute little store and the cashiers were friendly. Maybe some soft music might help it feel even more cozy? We will be coming here for a long time. I'd much rather buy sourdough bread from here then at the store. Why? Because it's better for you! read more

Ive been going to this place for quite some time and no matter what I get, its all so good. The price can be a little high but well worth it. The only reason why I've recently stopped is the customer service. No one says hi when you walk in and that's fine but I would go at least once a week to order a few desserts for my office and they always make a face like I'm obese and eating it all myself. Mind you, I'm not overweight and even if I was, that's none of their business. I'm helping them make money. I've tried to make conversation as I am aware they may be having a bad day and they barely acknowledge me. But it's every time I go. Never say hi, never smile, make faces, etc etc. A smile goes a long way, especially for small businesses. That's what consumers look for...friendly smiles, warmth and welcoming. read more

The bakeries items (almond and chocolate croissants) barely had any filing. The sourdough bread was delicious.

The pastries and coffee are amazing! Loved my iced dirty chai and both pastries I got! Stacie and Ashlyn were both amazing employees and very sweet! The store is very unique and offers things no one else has, also very clean I just wish they had more seating! read more

Very friendly and helpful staff combined with amazingly tasty baked goods made our visit here a real joy.

What a welcoming, warm, and beguiling local bakery and coffee shop! The absolute musts are the breads themselves, the Brioche Sourdough Buns, and the Rosemary Olive Oil Focaccia are bread heaven! The coffee is great too, and Samantha is an excellent barista, her Honey Lavender Breve was excellent and ridiculously smooth. For sweets, the best item I've had here is the Chocolate Chip Cheesecake. Stephanie who helped me numerous times was very warm and friendly, Hope the owner was very kind as well. They have been open for a little over a year and are already winning awards, I hope their success continues! read more

I have been wanting to visit Hope's for a while and finally made the stop in. It's tucked away in a business plaza but the sign is easy to spot. First of all, the customer service rocks here and Stephanie was so friendly and helpful! I knew I wanted a fresh crusty sourdough and was going to let me eyes do the rest of the order. I went with a fresh hot loaf of the Italian seasoned sourdough which had so much flavor!! I asked them to slice it and they happily did! I also got a sourdough cinnamon roll, lemon blueberry muffin, pineapple coconut loaf and an iced white chocolate and caramel latte! They serve Peixoto coffee which is cool since I don't go out to the east side often to get to the actual shop. The sourdough cinnamon roll was really good. I didn't taste any sourness from the sourdough but it definitely was a great flavor and would get it again. The lemon blueberry muffin and pineapple coconut loaf were both moist and packed with flavor! Overall, an awesome place with AMAZING coffee as well! I cannot wait to try more of their other flavored sourdoughs and I think I'll pickup a cookie or 2 next time. Already planning another visit soon!! :) read more

Very small bakery with limited sweets to choose from. Located in a shopping center so parking is no problem. They appear to cater more to quiches rather than desserts. They do offer cinnamon rolls that are delicious and zucchini bread that is so moist! We arrived later in the day close to closing time. So we were limited to what was left for the day. We saw chocolate chip cookies, brownies, artisan breads and muffins. Customer service was great. We were just a bit disappointed the were so limited on their selection of sweets. read more

This Yelp posting is unethical... the great reviews are of a bakery/cafe that existed prior to the place that's there now. The place before was a full service cafe that had an extensive menu... and even a completely different name/company owner. This new bread shop just hijacked the unclaimed Yelp posting and all the amazing reviews... they even kept up some of the photos of some of the food once offered at the previous cafe. The place that's there now just sells bread, will make you a poor cup of coffee, offer you super expensive honey in small containers, occasionally cream cheese, and that's it. Very disappointing. read more

I've wanted to go here for months and I finally did, and it was everything I had hoped for. This is a legit bakery and dessert shop. It SMELLS right. It looks right. This is a place of sweet carbohydrate temptation every which way you look. There's a lot squeezed into this small shop! I bought a pecan pie bread pudding, a mini pumpkin pie cheesecake, and a lemon blueberry muffin. Everything was fantastic. My husband raved about how good the muffin was. The bread pudding was my kind of bliss--just the right mix of solid bread chunks and custard, with lots of pecans. The little cheesecake was a treat, too--maybe three bites in size, and oh so good. We will definitely be back here! We need to try the bread. read more

This is by far one of the most friendly, loving and generous bakery I've ever been to. I've been all over the world and by far, The customer service was exquisite and the ambience was delightful. I had the honor of being asked by Nick the Ower if I would like to try A slice of quiche. Of course, I said yes. And what a delight it turned out to be... Broccoli cheddar was my choice. I've been eating quiche since the book "real men don't eat quiche" came out... I've had my share of quiche and never has it tasted like this. The crust had the perfect light flaky consistency. The eggs were light and fluffy. The broccoli was cooked Al dente. Each bite I took was more delectable then the one before. I also, tried the zucchini muffin it was Again, made with love and the perfect consistency of flavors, so light and fluffy. The bakery is getting the homemade sourdough bread loaves ready for tomorrow's entourage of excited customers. Tomorrow they'll have regular sourdough, jalapeño cheese Multi grain and a few others. They open at 8 AM, I spent about 45 minutes at the bakery. I watched numerous joyful customers come in to purchase the sourdough bread, sadly, they had already sold out. Tomorrow they will have fresh loaves ready to buy and enjoy. I am so excited to find this bakery in our neighborhood. They've been open for three years and We just found them. Almost forgot, the Oat Milk latte was perfect! Blessings to all... Thank you Hope's bakery, for making our community that much sweeter! Soul Inspired Art by Maggie read more

I think I'm in love being so close to Valentine's Day I guess that's a good thing. Walking into the intimate space you are enveloped in the chocolate scent wafting from the ovens. Their Belgium Brownies are huge, and perfect. Not sickly sweet- just right. We came in for the sourdough, varying flavors but the original is amazeballs! Perfectly crusty on the outside and chewy goodness on the inside. Buy two- one for now and one for later. Two bonuses- coffee is solid. I got a regular cappuccino, because if you can do that right the rest will be good. My daughter had the Hope's latte and it didn't disappoint. Second Bonus- service is FIVE STARS we had a lovely chat with the owner and his team. Welcoming, informative, kind. Great addition to the small business community. We will return- probably weekly now that we've found them. read more

Since new ownership has taken over (although the bread is still good) I have noticed a few things. Prices have increased and above market (look at Noble and much higher and they are the best in the state) and they run out of stock on several items before 10 am every day. Possibly trying an online pre-order as some other bakeries do and avoids waste. The last 3 x I've done in for baguettes they are sold out by 9:30. read more

Hands down the best bakery in the west side! I don't even know where to begin. Their sourdough bread is like a piece of heaven! It's always so fresh, soft and tasty!

Purchased the Classic Sourdough round(sliced). I live about 5 minutes away, decided to try this bakery because several Yelp friends shared positive reviews. The person working was happy and helpful. By the time I left 10:30, it was starting to get busy. For lunch I decided to make a club sandwich, the bread was the best part. So fresh and delishes. The loaf is huge and worth every penny. I definitely will be back. read more

Was running errands for the day and happened to find Hopes while looking at my maps to see what else was around. We decided to stop in since we love trying and supporting local businesses. While placing our order we got a sample of a cookie they claimed was "overcooked" it honestly was still a perfect cookie crisp on the outside and soft in the middle. We can't wait to try the other items we got to go after tasting that cookie and being told how they make everything from scratch. If you are looking for fresh baked goods that are truly made with love, tasty beverages and just feeling welcomed this is the place to go. We will 100% be going back to try the items we didn't order. read more
