Highly recommend his starter! Yeah yeah, make your own starter from scratch blah blah tutorials online. I tried my own. But starter takes time to get well established. Even after a month my starter was still weak relative to this. Making my loaves dense. Before throwing in the towel on making my own bread, I threw out my own starter. I used the process but with his starter and results were amazing. Awesome fluffy bread. Shorter proof time. Starter doubles/triples fast. Bottom line, if you bake sourdough get this starter. From what I understand his starter is maybe ~8-9 years established. Cultivated himself from his own wheat. read more

I've tried Sourdough Delight a few times through neighbors but I finally got to order my own and picked it up! Norris (owner/baker) makes it so easy for pickup as he texts you the day of and tell him what time you will be there. I've tried a few of his specials and boy, are they good. I usually don't eat sourdough bread but this is an exception. Norris uses premium ingredients that are well thought through and for the breads with fruit inside, he def does not skimp. Meeting Norris was a treat as you can see his passion. I learned a few things from him too! Will def be coming back for more. read more

The sourdough starter came in a beautiful container with a QR code link to his YouTube channel to refer back to incase I forgot anything. My bread turned out delicious! Thanks again! read more

I stumbled across Sourdough Delight while I was searching for a bread bakery on Yelp, and after reading all the five star reviews I decided to try out the bread for myself! I just picked up my first order today, and I have to say I am beyond impressed! The Cinnamon Apple bread is to die for, and the regular Sourdough tastes amazing! I was lucky enough to be given a little tour of the property when I picked up my bread, and this is as close to farm-to-table as you can get for bread! The owner grinds his own wheat, uses fresh eggs from their own chickens, and has an incredible backyard filled with all kinds of thriving fruits and vegetables! You can tell right away the bread is made with care and the best quality ingredients. I can't wait to try all the other varieties! Highly recommend! read more

I used to get Noris' bread every other week when I lived in San Diego. I even used this company to cater my private events. I even made sure my son had a loaf of bread while moving into his dorms.I'm visiting San Diego for 4 days. So, I had to get some bread while I stayed in my hotel. I ordered bacon and avocados and butter up from room service and made the most delicious Open face Sandwich. Noris makes the most healthiest sourdough bread, pizza dough and Challah in existence. read more

What an incredible place to get amazingly great healthy tasting bread! Noris is welcoming, knowledgeable, energetic and fun. Love hearing about ancient grains and wholesome grains and the process to keep the breads back to its roots. So far I have had the Rye, Rosemary, Seedy cheese, and my most favorite is cinnamon apple bread. Will continue to order many more healthy and the specialty breads. They all go great with raw butter. Can't say enough positive things about the bread! read more

There is only one thing wrong with the bread from Sourdough Delight. It is addictive. Since I've been eating it, I don't want any other kind of bread. Noris, the owner, is a dedicated professional who provides service with a smile. I have only good things to say about this business. read more

Outstanding, professional, personable and accommodating. Highly recommend. Great quality breads without additives. Envious of the garden and chickens. Warm and inviting home. read more

I just found Noris and Sourdough Delight this week. My wife and I both agree that it's the best bread we have ever had in San Diego. I will definitely be ordering more bread on a weekly basis. read more

I really wanted to try some authentic sourdough bread and I found this one and it did not disappoint! This is not like any sourdough I've ever had before. I highly recommend it because not only is it absolutely delicious, but it's actually good for your gut microbiome due to the fermentation. The bread you buy at the store is not the same. You can really taste the quality here! read more

The finest bread I've ever had. A blessing to have in San Diego. Thanks Sourdough Delight.

Always high quality well made goods. Especially like have the pizza crusts in hand for quick meals.

Excellent product. Made with great skill and attention to detail in the baking process. All top notch ingediants and a lot of expertiese! Do yourself a favor and become a regular customer. I HIGHLY recommend! read more

I found Sourdough Delight and Norris while looking for a bakery near my home. I order a new loaf about once a week. He tells me he goes through an up to eight hour process to bake his bread. I have had at least four different loaves and each one has been great. I can't imagine ever buying regular store bought bread again. read more

Incredibly healthy artisan bread that is delicious! I look forward to apple season because the cinnamon apple bread is my all-time favorite! Sweet sourdough bread is the way to go for a healthy way to curb your sweet tooth. read more

Very very good sourdough. The best in town for sure. Owner Noris is very warm and friendly. Will answer any and all questions. On top of tasting great, you can also feel the difference eating this bread compared to the ones in the grocery store. I ordered some regular sourdough and rosemary garlic for my first order and they are both delicious. Will definitely make this a regular bread stop. read more

Delicious! I'm originally from the San Francisco Bay Area--which is largely associated with sourdough bread--and this is the best sourdough bread I've ever had! It has a perfect texture and the decorative touch that is added to the crust makes is a lovely gift to give. read more

Friendly service and great bread. There's nothing like fresh sourdough. They make several seasonal varieties as well.

So so happy I found Noris and his amazing bread! A few months back, I was looking for somewhere close by that I could get some real sourdough bread. I follow a primarily gluten free diet and can only tolerate sourdough when it's actually fermented and not just advertised as so :) Noris is extremely friendly, helpful, and truly passionate about what he does! I pick up bread from him every week or so and my whole family loves it. So glad I came across Sourdough Delight! read more

New customer for Sourdough Delight. Owner is very knowledgeable and explains his process. Received a tour of his garden and enjoyed sampling some fruits. We ordered the Rosemary Garlic and also the Rustic loaves and they were delicious. Will be back for more... read more

New customer here! First order was the basic rustic and the featured bread of the week- cinnamon apple. Ordered on a Thursday and picked up Friday... The cinna apple smelled soo good I couldn't wait to try it when I got home and WOW!! IT WAS AMAZING!! My family devoured both loaves by that Sunday. I just placed my 3rd order within a week and look forward to more delicious bread in the future. The owner is very friendly and pick up is a breeze! I'm so happy I found Sourdough Delight! read more

absolutely the best bread! my families favorite! ordering the rosemary sourdough now :) read more

Wow! I tried a large loaf and some pizza dough and could not be more satisfied. The pizza was gone in an instant. Very happy customers. Sourdough Delight is doing something right. Worth every penny. I'm so thrilled to have these folks in my neighborhood. Highly recommend. read more

Noris' bread is almost exclusively the only bread I eat. Most other bread is not worth eating in my opinion as it's nutritionally devoid and not with the calories. Noris takes such care sourcing his ingredients and making his bread that not only is it the best bread around taste wise, but actually packs in some worthwhile nutrition which makes me feel even better about how much I am enjoying it. My mom and I have been hooked on his bread for years, but it reached new levels last week when my stepdaughter announced some big news. For the longest time Mochi ice cream has been her favorite food closely followed by Veggie Straws. On Wednesday morning she informed us that the date but bread from Sourdough Delight, toasted with butter has dethroned Veggie Straws!! His bread is now second only to ice cream! Pretty impressive especially coming from an 8 year old girl who can be hard to please. She had two slices that morning and attempted to take mine as her third. read more

This sourdough is amazing. This has to be one of the best sourdough loaves I've ever had . The texture, taste and freshness are beyond any bakery I have tried. If you are a fan of sourdough, you must try Sourdough Delight's Bakery. The owner is very nice and passionate about his craft. Treat yourself. I really love supporting small businesses and I will be back !! Thank you for a great start to our Father's Day Weekend!! read more

High quality home made breads with all natural ingredients. We love sour dough and weekly specials.

Noris' sourdough breads are made with only the finest organic, clean ingredients and attention to every detail of artisanal bread baking. His breads are the best I have found anywhere. I buy his breads almost exclusively and enjoy his regular types and his seasonal offerings, such as date walnut and cranberry walnut breads. The price is higher than store-bought breads, but worth it. I am supposed to avoid gluten and have no problems with Noris' sourdough delights! He is also very warm and friendly and easy to get to know. Thank you so much, Noris! read more

This baker (Noris) really knows his stuff. He's a talented baker and I very much enjoyed his cheese-topped sourdough. OMG it was so good. My kids and I really loved it. We also enjoyed the seasonal herb epi bread. He's very attentive to the look and taste of each loaf he bakes. When you're ready to pick up, he comes out himself and delivers the bread, freshly baked. Worth the journey to pick it up if you don't live close by. Worth the money for what you're getting. High quality baked bread you wish you'd spend the time to making. read more

The best sourdough rosemary olive bread I've ever had. I personally pair it with olive oil and a glass of wine :) I have gluten sensitivities, but Noris' bread doesn't hurt my stomach. No preservatives whatsoever. Amazing taste and service. read more

Incredible and nutritious ! I ordered the rustic loaf and smoked onion & garlic sourdough, so delicious. Noris was also great in communicating why this bread is special and how to ensure freshness. 10 out of 10 ! read more

I love the bread he makes! It's so fresh and delicious. Knowing that there are only fresh ingredients and no preservatives, makes this bread even more amazing!
