They have wonderful bread, pastries, and quiche. What a treat! Don't miss out on such a delicious place. The service is great too

Food- the croissants have funky egg smell and taste. Cookies have no flavor, and their galettes are overly baked. Service- not the friendliest. It's a small place so they just try to get you in and out. If you are selecting a bunch of items, you might want to check your items and receipt before you leave. It has happened twice where they have charged me for an extra item. Coincidence... I think not. Call them about it and they will not apologize or make things right. Ambiance- hole in the wall dirty bakery. Go in and see for yourself, not clean at all... or sanitary either. Would not recommend this dirty place at all. The baked goods have a funky egg smell and taste. read more

The French baguettes a bit on the small side but very good texture and flavor. I admire the efforts of this artisanal bakery. Well done.

Love this place! Should have gone earlier in the morning because they were sold out of some of our favorites by 10:30. We were able to get some chocolate cherry scones, croissants, and an Apple galette. All items were delicious. We love their bread, quiches, and pizza. Saginaw is lucky to have a place like this! read more

Wow! Amazing fresh products daily! Great little bread shop and more. A must-stop in Old Town. read more

Their treats are always spot on. Really like the breads and egg pastries. If you want unhealthy and high fructose corn syrup this place is not for you. I love the Bread Gal. Very satisfied customer!!!!! Gail Baker. And Blessed Merry Christmas and New Year 2025 read more

The owner is so adorable, he looks so young and he's so sweet. This place is in a little yellow building and it's small inside but so cozy and clean. My friends and I bought various croissants...Almond, chocolate and plain. They were absolutely fabulous. I guess he used to be in SVRC, the farm market but he said he had panic attacks because he felt a lot was expected out of him. I'm really glad he opened this little place! He even has some loose leaf teas. Give him business, he deserves it!!! Great looking bread loaves too. read more

Looking at the young man behind the counter, it can be hard to believe that he baked all the bread that you seen in the shop. While some bakeries have a homestyle look that is a little sloppy, each piece here looks excellent. I really wanted to buy a baguette but I had some bread at home that I just bought and didn't want to waste. I could not pass on the croissants so I got one of each. Baguette, I will come back for you! I lived in Denmark for about 7 years so I've become accustomed to a high standard when it comes to baked goods. These croissants were almost as good as what I would have gotten overseas. Not quite as shatteringly crisp but I prefer it a little soft like this. The Bread Guy is generous with the filling so the chocolate and almond croissants are the perfect not-too-sweet treat. The plain one is a great little snack which somehow isn't greasy at all. This is an exceptional bakery; especially for the area. You would be a fool not to stop in and try it if you have a chance. read more

If you're a local, you've heard the story of how this place came to be. The menu changes almost daily, but if you follow this place on FB, they're really good about keeping you in the loop. They also post things like extended hours or sales. There's been a lot of hype about this place so I've been dying to try it all 3 months that it's been open. We got the pain au chocolat and a blueberry scone. The croissant was wonderfully buttery and had that ever sought after top layer that almost peeled off. The chocolate filling was just enough to give you the sweet notes. It was smooth and not creamy so the croissant wasn't soggy halfway in. The blueberry scone didn't turn to dust after two bites either. The blueberries weren't overworked and the scone wasn't dense. I can't wait to go back to try out a sandwich and the pasta. This is the beginning of a Saginaw mainstay. read more

Horrible service, was waiting in line for a bit because they only had one person working the front. Had another employee who had been helping customers look at me then walk into the back. Just walked out, won't be back. read more

This bakery just keeps getting better and better. Fantastic breads every day with some alternating on different days. Where once there were just a few pastries, she keeps expanding the offerings and it's a delight to keep going back to see your favorites added to with new additions and creations. Truly the best bakery in Saginaw. No other bakery currently measures up to The Bread Gal, because there's no mass production involved. She bakes a limited quantity and the quality is top notch. What a neighborhood bakery is supposed to be. read more

The food coming out of this small building packs HUGE flavor. The owner is very nice as well.

Everything I've eaten there which is quite a few different breads and pastries are excellent

Just had the quiche for breakfast. It had an apple slice on top with feta cheese. Very tasty, flaky crust. It is a must try. Also the the cinnamon snail is awesome. Flaky and very tasty. read more

Me and my wife literally walked out of the bread shop with a box full. Sat at the aesthetic baby blue table and walked away with a empty box & over filled stomachs. Pastries & cookies were superb, but the fresh loaf of Jalapeno Cheddar bread was second to none, so fresh & delicious . I would love to come at least once a week seriously read more

Delicious and Friendly! Tried 3 different things, one as great the last! Stop every time I'm in Old Town! read more

First time here today, I loved it! A great little bakery with delicious fresh artisan bread. I've been looking for something like this for a long time. The bread is crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. Another young talented entrepreneur in Saginaw, thank you Mitch for bringing this treat to Saginaw! read more

So good! Stopped in on a whim and we are so glad we did. Spinach and cheese croissant and a raspberry and two cups of coffee. All were very good. Spot on flaky, buttery croissants! Had to grab 4 chocolate croissants to go! Stop in soon! You'll be glad you did! read more

The pastries are just as good as when I was in Paris! The chocolate croissant and Danish were superb. A must when in Saginaw read more

Delicious ! You won't be disappointed ! Best bread in Saginaw... What a great local spot to find!

Visiting back home for the holidays, we went to this tiny little shop whose sign saying "coming soon" we had seen on our last visit in July. This young man has truly mad skills. Check the photo I just Uploaded. Something we enjoy very much back East is good food and for myself especially good baking as I try an amateur hand at that myself. The baugette has the perfect firmness of crust and flex betraying a tenderl interior crumb. Will post again when we crack it open later. We immediately ate the croissant that we bought and were immediately impressed. We have eaten literally thousands of these in our 64 + 65 years and at many dozens of bakeries from local groceries to patisserie in Paris. This baker is the equal of any in the US including New York City and San Francisco, and is only slightly below the best we have had in Paris. You never know where talent can arise. Try this little place and you will see what we mean. Naturally you have to eat the goods fresh as there are no preservatives. read more

This was my first visit to The Bread Guy and I will definitely be back. This place is so cute and the staff is very friendly. I tried the Chocolate Java scone which was delicious, probably the best I've ever had. I also purchased a French baguette and it was perfect. It is surprising to find such a great quality bakery in this area. I highly highly recommend checking out and supporting this business! read more
