A wonderful bakery and diner with a great environment and delicious food. All the food and drinks we ordered were fantastic. I especially loved the sausage sandwich thats only available on the weekends, and the added hot sauce was so tasty. It can get pretty busy on the weekends but you can also take out most pastries, bread and coffee. We'll definitely be back to try the pastries and more sandwiches! read more

I have been here so many times for brunch with my girlies and it's such a cute spot to catch up with them ! The vibes are definitely there yall . So I went yesterday for the first time for lunch and OH MY GOODNESS . I had the greatest pizza I've ever eaten in my entire life . I went absolutely feral for the ranch . I'm obsessed with ranch and this ranch with this pizza . My newest hyper fixation. It was called the couch potato pizza . Our waitress was absolutely amazing . We had everything delivered at a timely matter and was all delicious. 10/10 would recommend to anyone !!! It's a bit pricey BUT I honestly think the quality and intention behind everything in this beautiful establishment is most definitely worth it. read more

Bright cafe located in the downtown Livermore area. I think they're sort of new, but this place has a vintage feel to it. They have a morning/lunch service and a later dinner service, but l have only been here for breakfast. Since there are a bakery as well, they use their own bread in a lot of the different menu items. Came here to grab breakfast on my way out of town. Also, I wanted to pick up some baked goods. Both the café and the bakery are connected where you can walk right through to the other. For breakfast, I sat at the bar and the folks they are very friendly and helpful. I ended up getting the breakfast sandwich (served on their semolina bread) where I added some avocado and a cappuccino wash it down. The sandwich was simple and very tasty. I also got a cookie that was also very delicious. After my meal, I walked over and got a loaf of semolina bread as well as a baguette. These breads made for very good sandwiches later on as well as just eating slices with eggs at home. I'm not too familiar with the downtown Livermore area, but I think this place is such a gem. read more

We finally made it here after years of positive press and rave reviews. However, our first visit here on a Friday lunch hour did not meet the high expectations based upon all that I've heard. It started out great where the hostess was so friendly and quickly seated us for dining. The restaurant is split into dine-in and takeout sides. With the renovation a couple of years ago, from what I was able to glean then, the interior is much brighter and airier and creates a very welcoming environment. However, the acoustics are very poor even with a moderate crowd, drowning out any ability to hear the music that is played through the restaurant's speakers. Our waitress quickly approached, but she did not have the same cheery and warm demeanor as the hostess. She did not give off the vibe that she enjoyed her job. The menu is pretty straightforward, offering both breakfast and lunch options after 11:00 a.m. We ordered the chicken pot pie, smoked salmon bagel, and quiche lorraine. It didn't take long for our food to arrive. With the exception of the smoked salmon bagel, which is hard to go wrong, the food generally was a bit on the saltier side. In fact, we had to send back the quiche lorraine because it not only was overly salty but it tasted sour. Strangely, the waitress didn't immediately offer a replacement or offering a new menu selection. It took her several minutes to return to make the offer, and another five plus minutes until she returned to take my new order despite I had made eye contact with her minutes ago while she was just standing around. I decided to order the basic breakfast sandwich, that came with a fried egg, cheese, and bacon. It was good but I don't know if it was necessarily worth $14. So on that note, menu prices are generally higher than I would want to pay for this very casual styled restaurant. The chicken pot pie is $22, although there was plenty of filling and a nicely prepared flaky crust. The quiche lorraine that I sent back was $12 for a sliver, definitely a very underwhelming portion. I'm pretty sure I will not return for dining in, however, I may give their pastry selections a try. read more

My mother, pickiest of all pastries as a baker herself, thrusted a Wingen cinnamon twist (?) in my face and demanded I eat the best pastry she's had in a while. It was a day old and she reheated it in the oven, but color me shocked that it tasted freshly baked and delicious! I went to Wingen the next day to check it out for myself :) Egg Sandwich ($13 + extra $1 for hot sauce): Oh how I wish it was bigger. This was heaven on toast. Between toast? Honey Latte ($6): You can taste the honey, and it's not too sweet! I already forgot what pastries I chose to take home; I blacked out at the options and only remembered I loved them lol. It's understandably hectic during brunch time, but I felt taken care of and attended to! I loved the bright lights and cheerful interior. Everything on the menu sounds delicious to be honest. The brunch cocktails look fun too! The biscuits and gravy also sound crazy good. I'll have to come back many, many times to eat my way through the menu! read more

First time at Wingen! I stopped by for dinner with some friends on a Saturday. We had a reservation but there were a few open tables and bar seating. It's very cute and cozy. We ordered the mushroom escabeche, winter salad, and potato leek pizza. The escabeche was good though the toast it came with was a bit stale. Winter salad honestly needed more dressing. I couldn't taste any flavor unless eating the goat cheese. The highlight was definitely the pizza! Great flavor and texture. $27 for 6 small slices is steep though. I would come back for date night for the pizza when we feel like splurging. I also will be back to try the bakery! read more

This breakfast place also offers a wide selection of pastries. My party ordered a Vol-au-vent, Avocado Toast, a Cinnamon twist and a cup of cappuccino. Lots of avocado on the toast, but the taste of it is fine. The puff pastry (Vol-au-vent) is a special dish on the menu, but the crust is not crunchy enough. I enjoy the Cinnamon twist the most. The host is helpful and friendly. The servers are not that attentive though. If you want to have breakfast in a kids friendly and comfy place, give this place a try. read more

The staff here are so lovely. I've tried both the bakery side as well as the restaurant. Bakery: Latte was delicious. The breakfast sandwich lacked any flavor whatsoever, sadly. I've been twice now and mistakenly ordered the same thing both times. Boo. Restaurant: The starter bread was a little stale - I wasn't a fan of it. Their pizzas are so yummy however. We tried the potato and sausage one, as well as a butternut squash pizza with a spicy honey drizzle. Both pizzas were easily 5/5. read more

The wait time is a bit long if you come during prime dinner time, but if you haven't tried the pizza and salad here, I would say that the wait is worth it! We had the best waitress who helped us to decide which pizzas to order, and we got to try three pizzas between the two of us! We took some home and reheated them in our air fryer and the pizzas were just as good once heated up again! The salads are also so good and "buttery" - you're not fighting to chew the greens and also each individual ingredient on there that is including the seasonal ingredient, are so fresh and flavorful! I'm definitely bringing back my friends and family one by one. Love the open kitchen and the decorations around the restaurant. read more

We recently had brunch here, I think I had saved this spot because of the little play kitchen area they have for kids. Fortunately we were sat near it and it helped entertain my kids while we waited for food. We were also given some coloring pages which were made by the restaurant and super cute. The servers were friendly and attentive. I ordered the mushroom toast with an egg which was absolutely delicious. My kids liked their snack plates. My friend got the turkey sandwich. Overall everything was great, but I do think some items were overpriced. read more

Wingen hosted a game night, to benefit Roll for Inclusion, which will open its doors soon. Not that we needed an excuse, though. It's a chance to share pictures of menu items other than the pizza we will probably always order. I had a Caesar salad, the wife had another kind of salad, I had cheesecake for dessert, and she had a homemade pop tart, which was actually mislabelled in the menu and wasn't so great. But we had a blast playing a card word game, and they were great with their wine pours as always. Thanks for hosting! read more

One star off for service. We visited on a Friday evening around 7-7:30 PM--four adults and a 2-year-old. The host at the entrance was extremely sweet and welcoming, which gave us a great first impression... but unfortunately, that changed quickly. We were seated right away, but no one offered or served us water. When our server finally arrived, he seemed more focused on rushing us to order than making us feel comfortable. We started with the Nonna Gnudi and initially mentioned wanting the focaccia but then decided against it--yet it was brought out anyway. Within just a few minutes of being served the appetizer, the server returned to push for our pizza order. He came across as cold and unwelcoming--the rudest server we've encountered in a while. We ordered two mushroom and peach pies. The Nonna Gnudi was exceptional--light, pillowy, and refreshing. There was quite a wait between the appetizer and the pizzas, but the pizza itself was delicious: flavorful toppings with perfectly light sourdough crust. Unfortunately, the service didn't improve. The server came back within 5-10 minutes of serving the pizza to ask if we wanted dessert. We had asked for chili flakes, which he forgot to bring, so we had to ask another (younger) server--who was helpful and brought them right away. To top it off, our server returned quickly to drop off the check and made a comment like, "With a kid, I know it can be difficult, so I thought I'd just wrap things up." The tone felt dismissive and passive-aggressive, not considerate. The food was fantastic, but the service left a lot to be desired. We'd come back for the pizza--but definitely hope for a different server next time. Bakery review : We also ordered a croissant and a tomato cheese Kouign-amann from the pastry counter. Unfortunately, even that experience was underwhelming. The same young server who had helped us earlier took our order, but he mixed it up--we were charged correctly, but instead of the croissant, we received a raisin apricot bar. He also took an unusually long time assisting the customer before us. The wait was so frustrating that, for a moment, we considered just walking out. As for the pastries themselves--they were just okay. Nothing memorable, and certainly not worth the hassle. read more

Husband went to.Wingen bakery this morning to pick up a couple pastries for Mother's Day. Wasn't much left but we got a piece of coffee cake and a croissant. The coffee cake was the worst thing I have tasted coming from this bakery. It lacked any color, it was a slab of colorless cake. There was no taste no flavor and so dry... I could only take 2 tries and threw it away. So disappointed read more

My partner picked up a bunch of goodies here for us to try so excuse me for not knowing the formal names. He ordered a caramely crusty kouign amann, a focaccia looking roll, and a quiche. All very delicious. The kouign amann was a bit tough but maybe that's because I didn't eat it until the evening. Haven't been to the location to speak to the ambiance but the breads were delicious! read more

Their updated interior is quite nice and has a welcoming ambiance, while retaining the small touches that are an homage to the owners' late daughter. The food as always tastes fresh and the portion sizes are decent. A lot of their dishes have very thick slices of bread, and personally I'd prefer a different topping/filling : bread ratio. read more

A very well-deserved five star review! I've been here multiple times and am just so impressed with everything! The employees are so welcoming and charming. The food is so comforting and delicious. And Wingen is VERY popular which says a lot! read more

Wow, what a great find. This bakery scratch makes all their baked goods. The sourdough bagels are especially special. We grabbed a dozen for coworkers and they went very fast. The regular and herb cream cheese were good compliments to the bagel selection. I also tried the chocolate croissant and probably one of the best I ever had. There was a generous amount of dark chocolate inside the croissant and a flaky crust. I coupled that with a latte and it made for a wonderful breakfast treat. Their warm breakfast menu doesn't start until 8am and their lunch menu doesn't start until 11 am. Both menus look like excellent offerings. Their loaf breads also look delicious. We came very early and some of the items were still warm. Limited indoor and outdoor seating but it looks like they are in the process of expanding the store. Good service. Casual. Please come and create your own experience. read more

Located I believe in downtown Livermore so parking isn't the easiest, but definitely worth looking for a spot. My friend had suggested to meet here for lunch as she loves their sourdough, even took one of their sourdough classes! I didn't have much time to walk around the shop as I had a short timeframe to catch up with my friend, but from a quick glance, this is a really kid friendly spot - some few toys for the kids to play with and even a changing table in the bathroom. Service was good - they acknowledged when we were down and brought out boxes without asking. Ok.... On to the good part - THE FOOD! I only had a chance to try their Chicken Club Sub but first bite and I was in heaven. I LOVE a good fresh sourdough bread so this was up my ally. The bread perfectly Crispy on the outside and soft and bouncy on the inside! The chopped chicken salad was flavorful - chicken was tender, bacon was crispy so it added a nice crunch. The portion was huge! I had half for lunch then the other half for dinner. Can't remember what brand the chips were but those were perfectly crispy! I definitely want to come and grab some pastries and try their other sandwiches! Maybe on a Saturday morning, we will swing by but given how popular this place is, I am big nervous about coming on a weekend. read more

Came in on a friend's recommendation. I was hoping I had arrived early enough to pick up an olive loaf but JUST missed it. Since I was already here I decided to try the country loaf. They sliced it for me, which is nice when that option is available. Their brunch menu that is attached next door looks like it has a tasty menu I'll have to come back for some time. I also ordered an iced caramel latte... I'll pass on that one next time. Just felt like I was purely drinking a glass of milk. Based on reviews, I'll chalk it up to an off day and come back again the future for another go. read more

If I could, I'd move into this place. The bread is amazing, the pastries are delicious, and lunch is consistently great. I've probably tried almost everything on the menu by now. The few times I came for dinner, it didn't wow me in the same way, but I'd still definitely recommend it; especially for bread, pastries, and lunch. read more

Wingen Bakery really impressed us! We ordered the sausage and shishito pepper pizza, and the flavors were spot-on -- savory, a little smoky, and perfectly balanced. We asked if they could add pineapple, and not only did they say yes, but it was fresh pineapple, not the canned stuff. Big win for flavor. Service was excellent -- friendly, accommodating, and quick to get our order out. The crust deserves its own shoutout: crisp on the outside, chewy inside, and with that perfect wood-fired flavor that makes you want to eat every last bite. It is a bit on the pricey side, but it's the Bay Area, and for the quality of ingredients and execution, it felt worth it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to for a treat-yourself pizza day. read more

I been going here for the last 2-3 years, and I go for one reason and one reason only... for their breakfast sandwich! They used to be bakery shop with but now they turned the space into a restaurant, and I've never had any issues with their service. The owner is there often too, he's very hands-on. They bake their sourdough bread daily, so it's always fresh. I also noticed that a lot of local restaurants serves their bread. The bread is perfectly toasted and buttery, the bacon is crispy, and the egg is fried over medium. I just wish the sandwich were bigger because it's kinda pricey for the size, $14-15. They used to have hot sauce made from a restaurant called "Range Life" but they now make their "copy" version of it and it's just as good. Although you have to pay a dollar extra for the sauce, it's worth it because it gives the breakfast sandwich a kick (and also because it comes on the side so I take it to-go which I always have leftover to use on other meals!) They also started serving pizza and I heard it's AMAZING so I definitely will return to try next time for lunch or dinner. But if you just want to get some fresh sour dough to have at home, this is the place to get it. read more

This is my favorite little restaurant in Livermore. I've been several times for breakfast and once for lunch, and I purchased sourdough here to take home The environment is comfy, the service is friendly, and the food is delicious Typically, I get the avocado toast and then share a chocolate chip cookie with whoever I'm with. I'm obsessed with their chocolate chip cookies. They are so delicious! The avocado toast is also amazing and I've had some bites of the sweeter brekkys. Today I had the breakfast sandwich for lunch, and, again, I was happy with every bite. It was on the small side, which is nice because I feel like everything is always too big. That said, I could've definitely eaten more because it was so good. I like all things breakfast. Add bread, grilled with butter and it's even more delish. The coffee is also very good! I'm always happy that this place is busy because they run a good business. I read the story on the owners online, and it's a very sad yet inspiring story. Always looking forward to going back. read more

Updated review: Wingen Bakery is consistently one of my favorite spots in Livermore. The service is always so warm and kind. The environment is family friendly with a kids menu and a play kitchen. This makes it a popular spot for parents so they can bring their kids and socialize at the same time. There's also a free music and storytime event hosted by a local mom usually a couple times a month on Thursdays. We love Friday night pizza night. We've only ordered takeout so far but I'm looking forward to going in person one day. I appreciate the seasonal menu. The potato pizza is a favorite. We've also been to some of their special events and collaborations with other businesses (like for Oktoberfest) and always love the food. Just plan ahead, there will be a line but it's worth it. This business is on the Livermore Pride Passport, proudly supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community. I'm so happy to know my money is going to a business that shares my values while I get the opportunity to try innovative and delicious menu items. Wingen Bakery is such a beloved asset to the Livermore community. read more

Oh my goodness. I have a lot of favorites, but Wingen will always have my heart. I've never loved a bagel breakfast sandwich like I love theirs. I beg my husband to buy me one almost twice a week and every time it's mouthwatering. We started off by getting the French Onion Bagel sandwich and I was so sad when I learned it's seasonal, but all of the other bagels are just as delicious. The bacon is cooked perfectly crisp, the egg isn't messy, and the bagel is thin and soft. I'm craving one just writing this. Our dental office was gifted an assortment of baked goods once and their cookies taste amazing!!! Will definitely continue stopping by for the rest of my life lol read more

As a Livermore enthusiast, I've admired Wingen from afar but hadn't been in. Even though we live in Oakland, The Vine Cinema in Livermore is our go-to movie spot. This time, we had some time to kill and we knew this was our chance to try the Wingen magic we had heard so much about. It did not disappoint. Our only slight nit was the interior temperature on this hot day was a little warm for our taste but we were determined to try the heralded Wingen pizza. The first thing that hit us was how incredibly friendly everyone was. Not just the host or our server...everyone. There was just such a positive vibe emanating from the place. Wingen was a bakery legendary for its bread and has branched out and expanded into a restaurant as well with beer, wine and "light alcohol" and mocktail options. We settled on a caesar salad and pepperoni pizza. I was 93% sure we'd leave hungry or order another pizza. I was 100% incorrect. When the salad arrived, I thought it was covered with bacon bits and was disappointed but as it turns out, they were heavenly --no-- otherworldly sourdough breadcrumbs and they were in my dreams when I slept that night. I would buy them if they sold them. We were honestly giddy eating the salad. The light dressing was perfect. The pizza arrived and it was a little bigger than was described. I was thrilled to see some big burned bubbles around the outside. This is true artisan pizza. We ended up taking half of it home. So good. So so good. We even grabbed some baked goods on the way out for home (we ate them in the car after the movie :-)). WIngen is one of those small family owned businesses that make downtown Livermore a special gem. Get here. read more

Don't forget to get the olives beforehand for an added touch. I will be back. read more

Wingen is more than just a bakery, it's a warm, welcoming part of our lives. For a long time, we spent at least one morning every weekend here with our son. It became a beloved routine. There's a warmth and happiness that fills the space, and you feel it the moment you walk in. Everything on the menu is clearly crafted with care and thought. Every pastry, every dish, every detail has so much heart behind it. The environment is just as intentional and inviting as the food. What really sets Wingen apart is the presence of the owners. They're always there, greeting customers, chatting with regulars, jumping in behind the counter, or kitchen, and truly engaging with their team. It's such a rare and beautiful thing to see owners so involved and so genuinely invested in the community they're feeding. Now that we have three kids, it's a little harder to get in as regularly, and we always feel guilty taking up all the high chairs! But whenever we do make it in, it feels like coming home. Livermore is incredibly lucky to have Wingen! It's a bright light in our city! read more
