village bread is one of my go to bakeries in the area when i want a croissant, a good sourdough, or a pretzel. those are just my favorites but they have a large variety of baked goods. i will say for the scale they bake at and being that there are not many other quality bakeries like this around, they are a great spot. they are very efficient and friendly and will answer any questions you have. they share a space with a coffee shop and have limited seating. if you call a few days in advance they are able to give you a sourdough starter free of charge with purchase. read more

12/10 stars. This place has the best cinnamon rolls anywhere ever! Totally worth the drive. We live close in Redlands but pre-order cinnamon rolls for holidays and try to get there early enough to get one when we're in the neighborhood. They do sell out of the cinnamon rolls. They are so delicious!! Love that we can get homemade bread without all of the chemicals and preservatives. Great place lucky to have this business in our local community. Make sure you get more than one cinnamon roll because oh my gosh, they are so good !! read more

Holy mackerel. This is a new go to when I need my pastry fix. Woman at the counter was extremely friendly when I told her it was my first time, she gave me a French baguette on the house. I also ordered the strawberry corn cookie & kouign amann -that was my FAVORITE. Everything is so so delicious. Also love that you can see the kitchen in the back. There is a seating area if you decide to stay and eat. read more

Oh my goodness this place is so good! We tried Village Bread for the first time today and are dying to come back! To start, the customer service is wonderful. Everyone working here is so kind and helpful! The atmosphere is so cool in here too! I loved the glass cases filled with baked goods and it just smells amazing. I would totally recommend trying the guava danish! But honestly, I don't really think you can go wrong with anything here! Will definitely be returning. read more

I'm gonna be slightly upset upon returning home and not having this place to come to each morning! The absolute best bread and pastries I've ever had. It's so fresh that when it's gone,it's gone and it's made the good stuff...if you know,you know! The coffee side was ok as well but the bakery is surely the star of the show!! Hailey was the best ever,she works on the bakery side and each morning greeted me with a smile and she's very honest and knowledgeable about the things they offer. read more

Village Bread - Orange croissant and drip w steamed milk and honey.... Mine so I BIT IT! - Bakeries Near Me - Calimesa, California

i haven't been here since they were just a walk-up window business but so glad they expanded! their new space is pretty large and includes a seating area to drink coffee and enjoy their baked goods. This is the best sourdough and fresh baked goods you'll find in the area! I appreciate their consistent high quality products and constantly rotating selection. It's a must visit if you're in the area! read more

The bread selection is amazing and their sweets are delicious! We got a sourdough loaf, a kouginaman which was so good and then some cookies and a baguette... we don't even eat that much bread but couldn't stop ourselves and it all looked so good!! The service was fast and friendly too and everyone working there seemed super friendly and kind. read more

Such fun rediscovering them in their beautiful new facility with the huge bakery operation visible to all. The first time we discovered them was 2 years ago when their "bakery" was in a small storefront, hiding behind a single Dutch door that served as their sales counter. No customers were allowed inside. Indeed, there was a long line outside of desperate, carb craving souls willing to face the consequences regardless. You were at the bakery's mercy, peering through a large picture window, picking out your breads and pastries from whatever was left, and passing the money through the dutch door. It had a hilarious, illicit feeling about it. But impressive it was. The facility has moved and grown exponentially since that time. In full view you can watch the bustling activity and processes needed to make each beautiful loaf, pastry, cookie that emerges from their industrial kitchen. It's fascinating. But better yet, their products are phenominal. This is THE place for choosing a loaf of freshly baked bread. Their shortbread cookies are incredibly tender and buttery. What a fun Adventure, well worth putting extra miles on my car, with benefits! read more

Village Bread - Such a beautiful background, looking East from Greorges parking lot. - Bakeries Near Me - Calimesa, California

Was passing by wanting some pastries and bread. Found this place on Yelp and it seems like a popular local bakery. The line was ok, service ok and helpful. We bought a few pastries which were rapidly consumed. Pastries were pretty good and rapidly consumed. We noted many locals seem to buy large quantities of bread and pastries. read more

This bakery started as a tiny hole in the wall and now is a good sized bakery with amazing sourdough breads and excellent other treats. There's nothing there I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. The service is quick and friendly. It's definitely worth a try... you won't be disappointed. read more

I come to Village Bread to get work done whenever I take my car in for service at the shop a half mile away. At 9 am on weekdays they have a full assortment delicious, fresh baked pastries and the staff are hard at work preparing trays for later in the day. The servers are friendly and it's not too busy - lines of maybe 4 or 5 people at the most. There are two businesses sharing the same building: Village Bread on the right and Lucid Coffee on the left. You get in line and pay twice, once for drinks and again for pastries. It's great to support local, independent businesses and hopefully the arrangement is working out well for both of them. There are small tables with stools to sit on around the side of the counter on the way to the gender-neutral restroom at the back of the shop. The tables are a bit small but it leaves a wide aisle and clearly communicates that the building is accessible for folks who use wheelchairs. The hum of the oven fans creates white noise in the background and there is music playing but not distractingly loud. I find it easy to get work done here. There is free wifi, ask at the counter for the QR code or password. read more

Their Kouign-amann (pronounced "queen a-mahn"), is to die for. The last one I ate was in 1994 in New Orleans. I won't say this one is better but it's on par, no doubt. Out of 5 stars, it gets a 7, I truly fell in love - haha. The crispy outside with soft fluffy inside, finished with the perfect caramelized topping; loved it immensely. I purchased croissants, cinnamon rolls and sourdough bread as well, all were perfect. To top it off, everyone there is totally awesome and extremely nice. read more

I'm a total regular for the coffee shop located inside, but I also Regularly get the seeded sourdough and treats for myself and all my kids teachers. Really quality stuff!! They use the best ingredients and bake with love. totally worth waiting in any line, or coming early when they still have all the pastries which are all yummyyyy. The staff here are absolute angels and some of the sweetest people ever, part of why I come so often is how welcome I feel and the friendly vibes. read more

The most INCREDIBLE tasting bread and pastries. I have had many pastries in different countries and this place is easily one of the best I've ever had. Be sure to get there when they open to get your preferred pick. I got one loaf of ancient sourdough, two loaves of classic sourdough, a churro croissant, lemon cheese danish, jalapeño cheese pretzel, and a Pain susse. Will need to come back to try more. All 11/10 They also have a coffee/matcha bar where they use ceremonial grade matcha. Unique and fresh syrups to add as well. Matcha was 8.5/10 Staff is always very friendly and there are a few places to set inside but might need to wait. Nice environment to eat if you can find a place to sit but it is a bit loud. read more

Love the option to buy fresh baked bread. Wish there were more options. But been going back. Always buy sour dough. Some tasty cookies. Recommend for sure read more

Amazing pastries and really great bread! I highly recommend the butter croissant and their little french shortbread cookies. The butter croissant was incredibly laminated and crispy. The cookies are incredibly buttery and had a nice tangy flavor. read more

Very good bakery in Calimesa. Fresh bread everyday, pleasant seating in a cute interior, and friendly service. It's the best bread you'll be able to find in the area including baguette, batard, seeded loaf, sourdough and many more, with many specialty breads during the holidays. They share the building with Livid Coffee so you can have a nice cup, cappuccino, or latte with a pastry for breakfast if that's your preference. Overall a staple in the community that really makes Crown Village and Calimesa as a whole a more enjoyable town. read more

Love this place! Good quality ingredients and lots of pastries to choose from. Guava danishes were really good and fresh. Pumpkin pastry was perfect for the season! Definitely recommend to anyone looking for bread and pastries. Also a coffee shop in the same bldg but we didn't try it this time. Smelled great! read more

Wow, didn't realize there was such a place in Calimesa. This bakery follows a European style process where they are minimalistic on the ingredient they use and use alot of organic stuff. Everything baked fresh There is a coffee shop in the same structure, but it's not part of the bakery. The store is well decorated, simple, but élégant with a bright vibrant feeling. We'll lit as well. Definitely stop in., you won't regret it. Staff are friendly and polite, ty William for the chat #ViBN @kaliking806 (IG) read more

gah this place is AHHHH-MAZING! their bread and pastry selections are all delectable to say the least! but you have to get there EARLY for your choice picks! they sell out quick. my kids love the financiers and chocolate croissants. i personally love their guava cheese danish and sourdough breads but they have a great spread. Lucid Coffee Roasters is just as good and a great pairing to all the breads! read more

I happened to be in the area and had time for a quick coffee stop. Yelp listed Village Bread with amazing reviews so it was a must to visit and so glad I did. The bakery doesn't open until 8:30a and when I got there fifteen minutes before opening, there were people already waiting. Another sign that I was going to love it here. Parking can be complicated during prime time hours. Restroom is in the far corner and is pretty clean. The line went fairly quickly but I feel like if they had more customer service at the registers, it would be more efficient. Ordering was simple but wasn't exactly pleasant. I had to give the guy a pass because he had a pretty harsh attitude. Everyone has bad mornings so I had to get over it. Note - there's another register who handles coffee orders. No need to get in the bread line if you just want coffee. Overall, the bread and coffee duo was great. I would definitely recommend. read more

10/10, yes, amazing, you need this bread. We LOVE village bread! Everything we have tried here has been delicious, and you can tell it is all made with love. This is our go-to place for sourdough. We have tried the classics, but also enjoy the different flavors they do like the pepper or rosemary. The patties here are also delicious. I would recommend getting there early in the morning if you go on the weekends. They will sell out! Love that they share the space with Lucid Coffee, makes for a great morning. All the staff here is super friendly and helpful when you have questions. read more

Great sticky buns! Not too sweet - right next to a good coffee shop. Nice experience.

Best sourdough in the entire area!!!! We drive almost half an hour for it and it's worth every minute! All their pastries are delicious AND I love how they share their place with the coffee shop. Great coffee as well! Once I asked about details on how they make and bake their sourdough (I like to bake sourdough every once in a blue moon) and the cashier went out her way to ask a baker to come talk to me and he was extremely friendly, KNOWLEDGABLE and willing to share what he knew with me. read more

Bread is amazing. Pastries are amazing. Staff is lovely. Go get some! Cute seating inside with paintings and coffee shop inside as well.

Line was so slow we left the coffee line. Don't worry there is a separate bread line where a young girl in a mask hissed at my wife that she ordered an almond croissant. My wife is allergic and assured her she never mentioned almonds in her order. They reluctantly gave us the croissant we ordered but I left the coffee line due to the confrontation with my wife. No coffee, barely edible pastries made with no love. Can't recommend this to anyone looking for a pleasant experience. We drove across the street to Down Right Brewed and had fast, kind service, and moved on with our day! read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled across Village Bread when I wanted to try Lucid Coffee and went to their location only to find that lucid and village bread shared a location! We got two pastries which were so delicious-we loved them and will be coming back. We loved our lucid coffee drinks too. Would definitely come back as they have some seating to do work. The bread is fresh and the people helping us were so friendly. If you're in the area stop by! read more

Haven't even tried the bread yet, but came here to say how awesome the customer service was! The woman at the front was amazing and it's obvious how much care they take into each loaf. My daughter went to the back and was watching them make bread and they gave her a sourdough roll and a sample of their bread! She was cheesing ear to ear! We felt the love! Thank you for creating such a sweet moment for our daughter! Just like that, forever customers! read more

Best bread and pastries. I travel domestically and internationally, and go to bakeries everywhere I go. Who knew there's a hidden gem in the IE for quality pastries and bread. I keep coming back here because the quality is unmatched. 10 stars! read more

What an amazing addition to this area. There aren't any great bakeries in the area. In fact, I can't find any in the surrounding areas of Redlands so I'm happy to make the trip here to grab my bread and pastries every now and then. read more

Best fresh baked bread in the IE. So grateful to have this local bakery. My favorite is the 5 seed sourdough and muesli .

Wow! Believe the saying, "the early bird gets the worm" Visited for the first time and yes everything was sold out except for this beautiful grain sourdough. Love the set up of a pick up window. All of the baked breads and pastries are perfection. Friendly service and they have Apple Pay always so convenient. What a wonderful business they have established. Will be back for more.. just a little earlier. read more

Village Bread - 5 grain sourdough - Bakeries Near Me - Calimesa, California

This bakery puts out a fantastic product. Their bread is nothing short of amazing and delicious. Especially their sour dough. Thank god, because they have a few other issues: ---------------- 1.) Customer service is all over the map. They have had a cast of characters rotate through, but there is a particular guy that seems to be confrontational with everyone. The line is slow. 2.) Website (lack there of): Their website is the most confusing, convoluted thing I've ever seen. Is this for the coffee place, or the bread place??--Who knows. They need a standard, business-friendly website, that has the COMPLETE menu, WITH PRICES. The bizarre collection of photos of their menu board, and someone holding pages of an actual menu DOES NOT WORK. That is completely insane. Why make it more difficult for customers? (I'm referring to this one: https://village-bread.restaurants-world.com) 3.) Ordering: Convoluted and insane. In this day and age, why oh why would they not allow customers (like myself) to easily order bread online? It is so easy, and they wouldn't be missing out on sales. They have a QR code in one of the pictures that eludes to ordering online, but I just tried it and it's a (404) dead link. That is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Some people find it more convenient to order online, and are reluctant to call and can't come into order. 4.) Menu: All I have to say is, huh?? WTF? The menu board and sections need a complete overhaul and simplification. I have no clue what's what. They have the prices for the coffee drinks here, but an incomplete bread menu, with no prices. One look and you are scratching your head. Who thought this was adequate?? Take a look at some other bakery's website to see how they clearly convey information for inspiration. Have someone on fiverr design your site for you, because what they have now is not customer friendly. ------------------- That's about it. I hope they're able to take some constructive criticism and get these minor issues sorted out, and not get disgruntled. Because there is nothing like this place anywhere around here, and their end product is outstanding. read more

Great quality bread. I usually have to go early to get their sourdough and baguettes. They sell out fast. The service is good. The place is clean with no unnecessary fanfare. Just good products. It's worth giving them a try if you're new to the area and want some good quality bread. read more

As you can see by my outside pic they mean "We are NOT a café - we are a BAKERY...", as quoted from their Yelp page. They don't have any inside or outside seating. On the day we were there, there was a canopied coffee/beverage seller immediately in front of this bakery. They pride themselves on the quality of their ingredients and baking, so check out their website and their FAQ section for an incredible amount of details relative to baking and baked goods. We arrived at 10:30 am on Saturday morning, and they were already out of a few items. There was ample parking. We actually brought our own coffee, and ate in the car under a shade tree. As you can see from my pic we tried 3 items: plain Croissant, Pain Au Chocolate and a Lemon Poppy Seed Cookie. The Croissant was wholesome, probably from the 25% whole grain flour - so it was denser than others. It was relatively stout and the crust had a far tug to it when pulled apart. It had the requisite light flavor, but had ample butter baked into it. The Pain Au Chocolate had ample quality chocolate and was well dispersed throughout. The crust was flaky, yet the flavor was strong enough not to be over powered by the chocolate. The Lemon Poppy Seed cookie was moist and had a nice chew. The lemon flavor was very, very mild and the poppy seeds didn't offer much of a pop of flavor or bite. read more
