Whoa. Extremely good bread at this place. I tried the wheat round, the sticky bun, and some scones. The wheat round had a dense, chewy crumb and a crunchy crust with just the right amount of sour to make it shine. The sticky bun was less successful - not so much a bun as it was cinnamon raisin nut bread with sticky topping. It was good, but not as good as the wheat bread. The scones I had - pecan coconut chocolate chip - were pretty outstanding. And giant. Did I mention giant? Everything was also pretty expensive. Close to $7 each for the breads, and $3.75 for the scones. Cash/check only! It reminded me a lot of the Cheeseboard Collective bakery in Berkeley, except less chaotic! Gorgeous garden in the back, with a lovely seating area. And the staff could not have been nicer. read more

Ohhhhhh my god. It's the best bread I've ever had in my life, sold by the friendliest people. I just ate some warm bread with goat cheese and I want to cry. I would happily eat their sticky buns until I fall ill. I don't even like biscotti! Their biscotti is fucking delicious! Yelp needs an "eleventy billion stars" option. read more

Such amazingly fresh bread. Delicious coffee, savory and sweet scones, and awesome sticky buns! This spot has its own beautiful garden out back! See pics. You can't get more local than that! Staff was attentive and so friendly! Great spot in Sonoma to get your morning started! read more

A solid 5 stars. Best bread and scones I have ever had. You will NOT be disappointed! Heads up, cash only! Can't say enough good things about this bakery. Bonus-cappuccino machine! read more

When we arrived at Wild Oats, we were greeted by the soothing sounds of a small duo playing the flute and the accordion. The setting prepared me to see Fraggles or Elf amongst the patrons. Inside the store, the atmosphere was homily and very friendly, although one lady was extremely aggressive in attempting to reach over us for the sample bread. The open hearth oven was cool, and the service was quick. As for the bread, my wife and I ordered the Sticky Bun and the Rosemary Garlic Wheat Bread. The fragrance of the garlic bread was extremely pungent yet not offensive. The next morning we warmed up the sticky bun for breakfast and after a few bites, and silence, we both realized we weren't that impressed. Overall the flavor was just ok, and the consistency was really heavy. As for the bread, I enjoyed it; we paired it with goat cheese and found it to be a delightful combination. Overall, I would give Wild Oats a second try, just to be fair. It was a nice scenic detour on the way to Guernville, but we've had better bread and pastries at the Cheeseboard, Arismende and Virginia Bakery in Berkeley. It read more

CARB HEAVENNNNN! "the one with cheese" (fougasse) was warm and fresh and was my absolute favorite. The sticky buns and the goat cheese bread were phenomenal.The locally made and bottled apple juice was a perfect compliment to the bread. Ignore the heaps of butter you will see and just enjoy. Take friends and do this place family style to keep your shape! ;) read more

Whenever we are in the area, we always make a pit stop at this great bread place. They have some of the best bread in northern California. Freshly baked. They also have great scones and other pastries. All at a decent price. The staff is super friendly and appreciative as well. Make sure to get there a few hours before they close because they run out of breads some time. But overall, definitely worth the trip. Get a few loaves and bring them home. You can never leave with just one because you will most likely eat it before you reach your destination. read more

Everything they make is fabulous, though my go-to's are the Fougasse, the Meyer lemon scone, and the savory scone. They totally reconfigured their layout so people no longer have to go inside to order, with plenty of room for people to stay 6' apart while in line. I'm getting hungry as I write this. read more

I have tasted heaven, and it is Wild Flour Bakery, in Freestone, California. http://www. wildflourbread. com/ Artisanal breads to DIE for, and worth a leisurely drive up the coast a ways. Sitting on my counter is a loaf of Egyptian (wheat stuffed with figs, pears, and ginger), garlic rosemary, and a flatbread stuffed with goat cheese and secret hobo spices. I'm considering sleeping with all three of them beneath my pillow. Buy lots of bread from them. Or just send donations. Fuck that--let's form a fucking cult and worship Wild Flour Bread like the yeasty gods they are. read more

Too good! Too tempting! I'm so glad I live 3 hours away! If you want sweet, savory, sticky, crunchy or gooey, you'll satisfy that here. I've never had anything I didn't gush over from Wild Flour, but the ones I that rise above are the Egyptian(sticky, sweet, and gooey with ginger, figs, and cinnamon); the Goat Loaf (savory, cheesy, herby, goaty, crunchy AND soft), and the lavender & white chocolate Scone (so lovely- crunchy edges, tender dough, and only just-sweet). They also have standout basic sandwich, baguette and round loaves. They mix great spices, herbs, seeds and nuts too. I've never had sumac or nigella seeds on anything else before. Make the drive if you're in the area. It's a beautiful place to see, plus they have a lovely fruit and vegetable garden to walk through and picnic tables to enjoy fresh hot bread at. read more

So we pigged out a little and got a few to sample. The fugasse, a mango scone, a sticky bun and the whole wheat round. Everything was right out of the oven hot, esp the sticky bun. Burned myself trying to get a taste of it. Definitely give it some time to cool down before taking a bite. The whole wheat was my favorite! I have a thing for sour dough and have found it extremely difficult to find a whole wheat sour bread that is sour enough for my taste buds. This was was amazing. The crust was crispy and the inside was uber soft and doughy. MMMM! The fugasse was like eating a meal, savory with veggies and cheese. delish. I'm not a scone person, but their scones were highly recommended so I tried one. I have to admit, I'd consider converting after this scone. It was very light and fluffy. The sticky bun was also made out of the sourdough base, giving it that great sour flavor that I love. It was the size of my face and oh so sticky! Grab a few things, sit outside under the trees and enjoy! read more

Expectations were not let down! I went for the first time and everything from the delectable smell that greets you to the friendly folks who make sure you leave having had a good tasting of anything that you want to sample, to the 4 breads that we ended up leaving with, sharing and enjoying for the rest of the week! We got the sesame bread, fougasse, cinnamon bun, a seasonal bread that had walnuts, cranberries, etc. The fougasse is best eaten while still warm at the bakery or in the car! There are bell peppers in the fougasse in case anyone has any dietary restrictions to them. We are definitely going to stop there whenever we head up there! read more

Delicious as they come! BEST: I heard it was the best Brick Oven Bread place in the United States. Taste test goodies - Free Samples! - Try Sticky Buns! Affordable Bread ranging from $3.00 - $7.00 Bathroom! Small cozy store right off the road! Wooden tables inside or a side bench outside! WORST: Small parking area Opens: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday 8:30am - 6:30p read more

Beautiful place, atmosphere, delicious food, the BREAD is amazing! I get a very cozy and comfy feeling when I think of coming here. Highly recommended...buy some to have while you're there and some to take home!! They also make great gifts... :) read more

We stop here every time we pass by to buy bread. Love this place! Good to know too that they only use egg in their biscotti so if you have an egg allergy you can eat ALL their fresh baked breads! read more

Unlike past reviewers, I am glad I don't live near this bakery. Otherwise, I would be 300 pounds, perenially broke, with organic flour coursing through my every vein. The sticky bun is out of this world, and even their plain sourdough does the deed on me. And also, just you wish that the people in front of you are taking long to decide, as this gives you time to ask for samples of everything in front of you. The bottled apple juice they sell is quite good as well. read more

Satifies my inner hippie like no other. Theirs is bread made the old fashioned way...by hand, and baked in a real wood fired oven that has never gone out (in many many years)! This place is an enigma, wrapped in a conundrum, and filled with gooey gruyere. Only possible negative: lines. read more

I love this place. A charming bakery making fantastic breads and other goods. We make a point of stopping here whenever we are near. read more

Totally worth the drive! You are welcomed by amazing smiles and will leave with the tastiest breads! Tip: pop in the bathroom! It's way too cute! read more

Awesome scones! You must try the Fogasse??? not sure on the spelling. This place is always buzzing so you know it's good! read more

You have to know where you're going to not miss this bakery. But once you find it you'll never drive by without stopping again and again. My first experience was with the sticky bun. Told by a friend to try it and so glad I did. However, it was like letting the opening Pandora's box. I have had to go back over and over again to try different pastries and bread... never to be disappointed. read more

There is no scrimping here. When you order fougasse there is easily a cup of cheese in there. The scones have real, whole berries, real chunks of sugared ginger. You can see the freshly ground herbs and spices with the naked eye. The whole place smells of good things: melted assiago, cinnamon, rosemary, savory smoke from the oven. The owner Jed, is a passionate person whose love of good food and knowledge of Brazilian samba bateria and salsa dancing shine through. The gardens off the bakery inspire his palette for these delicious offerings. read more

The 7 people that gave Wildflour a 1 star rating are the worst kind of trash. The eatables here are one-of-a-kind amazing, so are the folks that work here. If you've had an issue with ANYTHING here, the only reason why it wasn't resolved is because you didn't use your words and talk to to someone. Even if you didn't like the food, they'd probably refund you. Talk to people, don't blog about it. One dork said the sticky bun was too sticky and sweet.... Don't be c***y people. read more

No finer bakery can be found. Those scones are works of culinary art. We live locally, so we need to be careful about how often we go there!

Rustic, unique, fresh-outta-the-oven. Addictive. If you're anywhere in the area, stop in and get a few loaves for the road. read more

If a bakery can make me swoon...there must be something in their dough. The bread is flavored and baked to perfection (inside and out). After 2 days, the olive bread we bought tasted like it just came out of the oven. The staff and owners are friendly and jolly. Definitely a must stop when you find yourself in Occidental's intersection of artisans. read more

If you have friends who live in or know Sonoma County who have not sent or taken you to Wild Flour Bread near Sebastopol...strongly consider seeking new friends! Baked goods so good, they should be controlled substances! And how cool and friendly is the staff? I didn't check Yelp before my first visit, and the bakery Web site doesn't say that they take no cards. But they DO let you buy stuff, then give you an IOU in exchange for a promise to mail them a check! A business as cool as its products are incredible! JUST GO! :-D read more

Superb, as always. Order anything, it's all good. Don't miss the walk through the garden, and bring cash!

Wild Flour Bread - Heaven for bread lovers! A wide verity of fresh breads and pastries. Beautiful garden and friendly staff (: Highly recommended read more

Everyone in SF must make the long trip to this backwoods bread-making marvel. The cinnamon sticky buns are made by angels. While I never eat sticky buns, I would drive the approx. one hour and half hour trip for these. True perfection !!! Here's a suggestion. Because no one in their right mind would normally drive out here... guys, I suggest you take your wife or girlfriend to the SPA up the road, then you can hit your prime objective...the bread...afterwords. Sounds like plan? read more

This place is AWESOME!!!!! Best bakery to buy bread in the Bay Area. Whenever I head up north I have to come here and buy at least 3 loaves of bread for myself and fiancé! That's how good it is! The fougasse is so delicious and it's my favorite. Scones here are really good too. If you want sweet stuff, their sticky bun are the best! Very fresh food here and highly recommend this place! Great place to stop by for bread to drink with wine!!! read more

Their sticky bread was the closest thing I've had to my Nana's! So good and fairly priced for how they make it!

OH my GOODNESS !!! The smells wafting from inside as you walk up alone should lure you in.... Awesome selection of breads/scones/biscotti! Sticky buns?!? It's the DEVIL, I tell you..., but what a way to go. read more

I have never found a bakery like is anywhere. The breads are truly unique. I had a pear and date bread, a goat cheese loaf, and a few other gourmet-ish, FRESH baked. Head up to Sebastopol for some antiquing and swing through Freestone. The detour is well worth it! read more

Tried to park, no parking, finally parked way down the road and saw a huge line as I approached. Walked past all the line to see what exactly, was offered inside. I could barely see anything beyond all the hoards of people other than THE INSANELY HIGH PRICES ON THE MENU BOARD.. I don't care HOW good a product is, that place is over priced. I walked around their pretty little garden and left. So, 1) thank you for having a nice garden area 2) NORMAL people can't afford your prices so you MUST cater to either the rich or tourists dying to purchase something in " Sonoma County Wine Country". As a local, I won't be back. read more

Holy holy moly. Skip the sticky bun -- it's a little too sticky. As in hard to eat. But get any of the breads, any of the scones-- or all of them for that matter. Everything came to us warm, and I was not the only woman hugging my goods to my chest like it was a baby. Worth the drive! read more

Is this what heaven is like? Backstory: literally the day before I was taken here, I the told the man-friend to stop buying me brownies just because I looked at them as I needed to start pulling gluten and grains out of my diet again (I had been letting myself have more and more and my skin was itchy and hands were swelling...not down, and I know what the culprit is). Truth is, he is an enabler, and he wouldn't tell me where we were going and instead said I needed to trust him and we were going on an adventure. Seriously, he is the BEST enabler ever for bringing me to this gem. I got out of the car and wanted to kiss him when I smelled the amazing aroma of sourdough. I walked in and I know my eyes got big and twinkly because there are few things I love more than scones. Holy jesus, were there scones. And sticky buns. And bread. And biscotti. I wanted it all. We ended up with a sticky bun - and by sticky bun, I mean something the size of a cake pan, a meyer lemon, white chocolate scone and a baguette. He told me to get more, but I knew that would be my limit for the day. Everything was utterly fantastic, and we had a little picnic up the road a few miles. Will I be back? Better be. :) Note: this place is cash only and doesn't have an ATM. He had been there before without cash and they gave him an IOU which is incredibly generous and good-willed, so we took care of that when we stopped in. read more

The anticipation grows the moment you drive up when the air is filled with the smell of the wood burning bread oven. Then you walk in and see the glorious pile of bread that makes you want to dive head first into like it was a big stack of money. You get to the front of the line and they are shoving free samples at you from the containers of pre-cut chunks of bread. Why can't all stores be like this? My girlfriend specifically came here to get her favorite chocolate scone that is covered in chocolate and contrasted by a tart cranberry inside. The tartness was too much for me and probably goes better coffee or tea which they also sell, but I don't drink. I do drink wine and wanted to buy something fun for wine. I tasted round boule with garlic. The wood oven unpleasantly charred the garlic so I passed on that. I then tried the goat cheese and green onion bread. The dough was formed into a flat, pretzel-shaped bread which needed less cooking time so the cheese and onion didn't burn. Perfect. It was ideal pizza bread for wine tasting journeys. In general, rustic style bread like at Wild Flour is good for toting around from winery to winery because it's durable and not messy. Imagine breaking a French loaf and having the crusty bits fly all over yourself? read more

I don't know if there is a happier place on earth than wild flour bread. Seriously. Before you even walk into Wild Flour - you smell their amazing products - it's like a baked goods hug. Everything I have had there is delicious. My favorites are the sticky bun (which is more like a sticky loaf) which comes warm out of the oven - and the Egyptian bread, which is full of pears and figs. But everything about Wild Flour is special - the fact that you can try samples of the breads before you buy them, the beautiful garden outside, the laid back feel of the place. Any time I am near Wild Flour, I make a pilgrimage - it's worth it! read more

Great bread, coffee and employees. I been multiple times before heading to the beach just wish they were open more days and hours.
