Black Sheep Sourdough Micro-Bakery is a small-batch shop in Paso Robles from Paula Kopper, a woman…read morewho only began baking two years prior to opening when her spouse developed gluten sensitivity requiring a change in diet. Previously operating her own daycare, test batches of Bread developed after an internet search often finding their way home with pupils and their parents, July 2025 finally saw Kopper open up shop at 1306 Pine Street where her goods now frequently sell-out daily. Working exclusively with a Sourdough starter named Dough-Rita, even Black Sheep's Cookies subject to traditional fermentation, guests now will find both sweet and savory treats alongside full loaves with clever names like "The Basic B" and "Mob Boss." Originally sold at the Paso Robles Farmers Market, opening of a storefront delayed as she relied on friends and family for everything from paint to plumbing, May 2026 now sees Paula regularly trying new things ranging from hefty Cinnamon Rolls to an absolutely stellar Sourdough Blondie that starts sweet and sticky before dissipating with an almost boozy sort of linger. Leaning into the "Black Sheep" name with some clever signage, a Sourdough "Cinny Roll" weighty beneath tangy Icing, those looking for something breakfast-y will note Scones and "Breaky Bombs," or their sweet brethren called "Lachee" filled with Fruit and Cream Cheese riffing on Czech Kolaches.

The store had caffeine but I opted for something different. Their dirty soda was so delicious. I was tempted to get another right away.

The prices here felt very reasonable, especially compared to some of the other bakeries near…read moredowntown that we found overpriced and underwhelming. For pastries, we tried the cinnamon roll, a fruit brioche/danish, and the Dubai strawberry bun. The cinnamon roll was amazing--easily the highlight among the pastries. The fruit brioche was fine, but probably something I would skip next time. The Dubai strawberry bun was nicely done and pleasantly balanced, not overly sweet. For savory items, we ordered the Pepp & Gather pizza and the Brekkie Sando. Definitely get the pizza. It was simple but incredibly satisfying. The Brekkie Sando was also very filling, and the egg was cooked perfectly. The only odd part was the wait. We arrived around lunchtime, and apparently the chef had stepped out, so we ended up waiting about 20 minutes for the food. It felt a little strange during such a busy hour, but thankfully the food made up for it. In short, one of the better bakery and café experiences we had in the area.

They provided boxed lunches for my group one of the days and the freshness, flavor and display was fabulous. Thank you for the treat to the tastebuds.

This place was absolutely worth the trip!…read more We were staying at the Marriott in Paso Robles, and although this bakery was a little farther than some of the other breakfast options, it was definitely worth the quick drive. The food was outstanding, the prices were very reasonable, and the service couldn't have been friendlier. We ordered three breakfast burritos--one with each type of meat--and every single one was delicious. It's hard to pick a favorite because they were all packed with flavor. The salsa was fresh, spicy, and had just the right amount of kick. We also picked up a Mexican pastry, which was the perfect way to finish breakfast. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly...even if they were Dodgers fans! As a loyal San Diego Padres fan, I had to give them a little grief, but they took it in stride and made us feel right at home. It's refreshing to find a place that serves high-quality food without charging outrageous prices. If you're in Paso Robles and looking for a great breakfast, this bakery should absolutely be on your list. I'll definitely be stopping by again the next time I'm in town.

I'm on the hunt to find the best burrito around, which brought me to the north end of town early in…read morethe morning to check out Paso Robles Bakery. I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito with added potatoes. To put it simply: it was amazing. Every single ingredient in this burrito works in absolute harmony. The melted cheese and refried beans hug the chorizo and potato. It is so hearty that after finishing just the first half, I felt ready to take on the day. Pairs super well with their home made salsa. The cashier was super friendly and the food came out incredibly fast. The best burrito spots always tend to be the most lowkey, and this place is no exception. The exterior is so unassuming that you would easily drive right past it without noticing, but it is well worth the visit when you're in town!

Cider Creek Bakery & Deli, step right up! You're the next contestant on Randy's Yelp review!…read more Well, I've had some of the goods at parties and events, and I was in love. So, Cider already kind of had me. In a non-descript (and hidden) mini-mall, Cider Creek stands tall. The bakery is the standout. Two full cases of all kinds of goodies and pies, a 1/2 case, and some of the sweet loafs available on the shelf. They have sandwiches and salads. Well-priced, and good. My take: it's good for grandma. It's a senior crowd to sit and stay, a younger crowd to get "to go". It's very clean and nothing wrong that I could see, but there's also nothing cool about it. Outside, they've tried to make it nice with vines over a pergola, a fireplace -- but then again it overlooks Jiffy Lube and they close early, so it's not like you can get a coffee and enjoy the lit fireplace.

I could barely see the pastries in the case. No worries though, I saw what I came in for. Purchased a French baguette for $3.70. Beyond amazed at the price. Excited to have some with my coffee, I ripped off a piece almost immediately and noticed the nice crust on the outside. 5 stars for the crust!! As for the flavor, it seemed a little flat. It was lacking some of the wheaty-tangy flavor you would get from a longer prove/fermentation. The inside of it was also missing all those nice deep pockets you see in a French baguette. Overall, not a bad baguette, but not one that you yearn for. I'd like to mention the young lady Annabel I had the privilege of meeting outside of the bakery. She was on a delivery run, but told me about their IG page, and we had a wonderful chat about cookies. Thank you for your time, Annabel, you are awesome!

Even though it was a 15 minute drive up the freeway from where I was, it was worth every minute. The downtown area this shop is in was really cool, plenty of parking, and the moment you walked into this coffee shop you could tell it was going to be good. Lots of space, people sitting and having conversations, and a greeting from the Barista the second I walked through the door. I went with my standard iced oat milk latte with honey and a triple shot and it was perfect. I wish I could have drank it there because the inside of the shop seemed like a place you could hang out for a while. Unfortunately, I had to take it on the road, but that is a shop (if I lived in that area) I would drive out of my way to get to. Well done guys!

To be fair, we did order a latte, so that is partly expected. The breakfast sandwich was good but a little underseasoned and could have used a bit more flavor overall. The chicken pesto sandwich was the standout. The pesto was well balanced and did not overpower the rest of the ingredients, which made the sandwich really pleasant to eat. Overall, everything was solid, though slightly pricey for the portion sizes. The food was good, but nothing especially memorable. Still, it is a nice stop if you are in the area.
