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

Came in on a Saturday morning, and it was perfect. The staff, the service was on point. We sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing. We were on a time crunch, and he handled it, didn't skip a beat. Food was delicious, it was lively. Highly recommend to stop by for breakfast. read more

Wingen - At the bar for breakfast - Bakeries Near Me - Livermore, California

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

Food probably closer to a 4.5. Service was a bit strange. We went for breakfast - dine-in. A bit of a wait while they got things organized, but got our coffees shortly after we ordered. They were great - highly recommend the latte. Then the rest of the food took quite a bit, even tho it wasn't super busy and I ordered a pastry. My husband's sando took a while, but he enjoyed it. My pastry was cold by the time he got his breakfast. Would go again, but probably order ahead, as it seemed like those were their priorities in the morning.... 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

Best bakery in NorCal, and that's saying something. Putting Wingen over the top is the creativity and willingness to try fun stuff. Things like the Italian beef, Wednesday burger special, and sourdough pizza nights - just to name a few, paired with unique yet traditional beverages make this cute downtown bakery the best stop any time of day! Cheers read more

What a fabulous dining experience. I'm sorry I waited so long to try their dinner menu. We started with Nonna's Gnudi. Beyond delicious. You must try this...and then order a pizza and save that extra sauce to dip your crust in. Their crust and toppings are amazing. The manager was beyond welcoming, and now I know to check the menu regularly because they try to source locally and the menu will reflect this. Continue to support quality food, service and everything that makes Livermore great, read more

My family and I have been coming here almost once a week for years now. The food is always delicious and the service is friendly. My favorite pastry is the chocolate kouign-amann -- it's crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and chocolatey without being overly sweet. The bagels can't be beat. The French onion bagel as a breakfast sandwich is next level, and don't skip the hot sauce. Our toddler loves dining here as well... a play area, coloring sheets, and his fav -- the cinnamon bun. We're grateful for the community Wingen has created and, of course, the incredible food! 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

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

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

The best local bakery and restaurant. Amazing staff, amazing story, and the BEST quality food. Honorable mentions list is too long to type out at this point. Our go-to place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - or even just to grab coffee and study or socialize. read more

I love coming to this bakery and visit almost every day because the food is always amazing and the atmosphere is usually so nice. Most of the staff are very kind, but I wanted to share something that has made our visits uncomfortable lately. Our only concern has been the way one of the girls working there treats us, and unfortunately this happens almost every time we come in since she is usually always there. She often seems upset, rarely greets us, gives unfriendly looks, and the interactions feel very cold even when we try to be polite and friendly. I even asked once if something was wrong because the vibe felt uncomfortable. We truly enjoy supporting this bakery, so I hope this feedback can help improve the customer experience for everyone. read more

Their chicken salad sandwiches are insane. Best my wife and I have ever had. Also their almond croissants are fantastic. I do wish they were on doordash for breakfast and lunch as we're in dublin, however, regardless we still make the trip out here and there because their sandwiches are that good. 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

We love a good bakery but haven't found one in Pleasanton so we usually drive to Castro Valley, until now. Heard about this bakery from sfgate and the hype holds up. We got a baguette, cinnamon bun and croissant. Everything was amazing, service with a smile, parking is plenty with a lot very close. Prices are about $1 more than surrounding bakery but worth it for the proximity. Will be back regularly 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

Service was friendly. Line moved vary quickly. Interior was clean and tidy. Price was a little high, $7 for a plain croissant. $14 for a sausage egg muffin. Seatings were not very comfortable. A lot of families with small kids on the day we visit. Street parking or public parking lot. Overall experience was not bad. read more

Was disappointed with my experience at Wingen Bakery. Was there for a special occasion brunch. Asked if the booth was available, which it clearly looked available. Hostess told me it wasn't, but sat the party right after us at that booth. Our party size was the exact same. We didn't complain because it's not worth the trouble. But I will not be returning. Please train your hosts to be respectful of all customers, and treat everyone equally. read more

I just love this first time visit to this gem. We don't live in the area but met my son and his wife in Livermore to go here for the first time. A+ for the pizza and service was fantastic. We also got a bottle of Vine Farm Ridge which they said was organic and grown locally in Livermore and it did not disappoint and was exceptional! Don't forget to get the olives beforehand for an added touch. I will be back. read more

The best biscuits and gravy I've had in my life! My friends had the bagel with salmon and capers, and they tried the Sausage Mc Wingen sandwich, and they were equally as happy as I was! Brendan was our server, and he hit the ball out of the park with us today! The atmosphere was extremely friendly, and the food was delicious. Being an avid motorcycle rider for most of my life, I would love to know the backstory of the two vintage Hondas up on the shelf? read more

I didn't go to Wingen expecting a spiritual awakening. I just wanted some pizza and maybe a cookie or two. But what happened inside that bakery was something deeper... something sacred. First of all, let me set the record straight, I don't eat pizza crust. Never have. It's just a dry handle, a chewable reminder that the good part is over. I am a cheese-and-sauce purist. Or... I was. Then I took a bite at Wingen. It started slow... just a casual nibble on the end. And then something happened. My eyebrows raised. My ancestors whispered, "Child, you've been living a lie." That crust? Golden. Flavorful. Chewy with a little crackle on the edge like it trained in Italy but grew up in Brooklyn. I ate the entire slice. And then another. I didn't even look back. I'm a new person now. Now, let's talk desserts. I tried every single one. (Don't judge me, I was in a moment.) Every bite was like being hugged by a tiny sugar angel. Not a single miss. If I had to pick a favorite, I can't, because that's not fair to the others. The Basque Cheesecake!! WAIT! the tiramisu!! but one critique the ice cream sandwiches should be sold in a 4 pack box. And the low-fi cocktails? Chill, bright, and oddly meditative. Like a spa day for your tongue. I drank one and immediately wanted to lay in a field and reevaluate my priorities. By the time I left Wingen, I wasn't the same person. I went in craving cheese and left worshipping crust, drunk on tomato pie and emotional over the ice cream sandwich. If food can be poetry, this place is a haiku that hits you in the feelings. Don't dodge the bar seating. Eric, Mary, and Jermey at the Bar had great service and were so friendly, knew a great deal about the food and the bar program. Go. Go now. Bring friends. Or don't. More for you. read more

This bakery is located in downtown. There are public parking further away if you don't mind walking. The order line was very long on a Saturday morning until around 10:30am. The cafe is pretty full and sometime it's hard to find a table, especially many people like to stay for hours to work or hangout. The food and beverage are good. Many pastry items were sold out in the morning. Service is good as well. read more

Love this bakery and the story of how they got started during the pandemic is touching. Got an assortment of stuff here to try new things and support this small couple-owned business... Chicken salad sandwich - my favorite thing. The chicken is from Roli Roti and is very juicy, and it's tossed in an herbaceous aioli. Lemon poppy scone and cheddar chive scones - good flavor but not a very buttery scone and a little dry. Baguette - incredible. Only available after 11 am. Pastrami sandwich - limited time offering and perfect. Crispy, greasy rye bread; delicious pastrami; and sauerkraut Mortadella sandwich - good but nothing special about it - just a mortadella sandwich Chocolate kouign amann - amazing. Didn't think I'd like it since I'm kind of a purist at times, but this was so well caramelized and stuffed with a yummy chocolate ganache. Hope they keep this one on the menu! read more

Wingen is a great example of perfection through simplicity: the ingredients list is simple and straightforward, but the attention to detail and quality. From the coffee roast to the bagel seasoning everything is perfectly balanced and hits the spot in a special way. I wish I was local so I could make Wingen part of my weekly routine. read more
