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 BIG: Sourdough bakery in downtown Paso! No frills bakery shop with an array of sourdough…read moredesserts and bread on display and sale. Parking lot out front. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I find myself to be a sourdough expert *sarcasm*. This micro-bakery is legit. Smells like sourdough inside and every bakery item they have uses starter. For food, we got the sausage egg and cheese breaky bomb and the sourdough cinny rolls. The cinny rolls was too sweet for my liking, but still very good. the breaky bombs were so good which makes it the move to get imo. THE FINAL BAMBOO: The cost for the two pastries was around $15. The pastries were pretty big, so i'd recommend grabbing a few pastries to load up the belly before wine tasting.

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.

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 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!

The service was…read moreimpressively prompt, even with a line of four people ahead of me; they quickly summoned additional staff from the back. I opted to have my cinnamon roll warmed up, and it was absolutely delightful--the sugar became wonderfully gooey, and the roll itself was cooked to perfection. As for the coffee, they offered a diverse selection, and I chose the "Good Brew," which was decent but didn't quite stand out. The cider also had ample seating, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy my treats. Overall, a pleasant experience that I'd recommend!

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!

That seems popular and everyone sitting near me, was eating the almond one.

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.
