Browsing through the farmers market yesterday and came upon their stand. The man was incredibly kind and willing to answer my questions about ingredients (food allergy concerns). Ended up with two loaves of country and have been munching on it last night and this morning. Was raised in the east Bay Area and moved to the Salt Lake valley Utah quite a while ago. Finding sourdough like I grew up with is hard there and I miss it! Was excited to try this. While it isn't incredibly sour it has a nice unique flavor and I'm quite satisfied with it. Thank you!

This bread is one of a kind. Many wonderful breads are available in the Bay Area, but Morell's something you should not miss--and now, it is the bread I hope to buy when I run out. Beautiful bread, thank you for sharing it with us.

I plan my Wednesday morning around being able to go to Morell's and pick up at least two loaves to get me through the week. Their sesame loaf is phenomenally sesame-y, with a crumb that's both tender and robust. I'm also a huge fan of their baguette (they call it a tordu) and toasted oat porridge loaf which has a level of moistness that keeps it feeling fresh for days. The staff are also lovely!

I’ve been buying Eduardo Morell’s bread at the Berkeley farmers market for roughly a decade and still can’t make it back to my car without ripping hunks off to devour on the spot. If you want to know what truly traditional San Francisco sourdough tasted like when individual artisans developed the craft before of the modern food industrial complex co-opted it, make the pilgrimage to Morell’s bakery or to the farmers market or just pick up a loaf at Monterey Market. My favorite is the loaf that uses local, whole-grain wheat.

I tried Morell's Bread for the first time today. It's just so delicious! Keep in mind this location is only open on Wednesdays. Very convenient, I ordered bread on their website on Tuesday evening, and at 8:30 am on Wednesday I picked up warm bread for breakfast. Yummy!

Beautiful gorgeous bread! We are so lucky they are here- no one makes bread like Morell’s. The Sesame Is my absolute favorite.

Picked up a Multigrain and a Rye bread at the Berkeley's Farmer's Market on Saturdays. So so good. Every time I get a loaf of artisan bread, I slice it, freeze it and enjoy it for the week.I am a rye bread (the hearty, dense kind) lover and Morell's rye bread was really good. I've tried several rye breads in the Bay Area, and so far I like Anna Daughter's Rye and Morell's the best! They're both a little different but both more than adequately fill the rye bread hole in my life.Also, the Multigrain was great. The more you have it, the more you love it. I notice that whole wheat sourdoughs tend to lend a more savory profile, so keep that in mind!'Sourdoughs' aren't and don't necessarily have to be sour. And it's been a while since I've had a lovely tart (just right) loaf and Morell's provided that! So good.The ingredients in his breads are either entirely or mainly whole grain i.e. nutritionally superior. This is one of the reasons why I love Morell's breads a lot! Good food = taste + nutrition. Thank you for making amazing, healthy bread.Update: Got a chance to try the seasonal scone (orange and apple scone). The scones are made with whole grain which is amazing. Loved it. Don’t pass up on the scones.

That is the second time I'm getting my bread from them and it is the absolute best bread you can get in the Bay Area. I'm original from Germany and I love bread which I was missing the most when we moved to California. I'm driving all the way from Fremont to get my breadfix and it is worth it every time. I have only one complaint " The Most Delicious Smell Of Bread In My Car", and I can't eat before I'm back home. Please keep up making that delicious bread for everyone to enjoy.

Decided to stop by as my usual place was closed. I got the multigrain ball and really enjoyed its slight sourness and wholesome texture. This is exactly what I was looking for! Will continue to support this business over my usual place! Thank you guys and Happy New Year.

I stopped here after going to a nearby bakery. Reviewing their website, I was going to get the sourdough bread. But after seeing the dejection, I decided in the sesame loaf. The sesame loaf has a nice nutty flavor due to the sesame seeds. It went well with the Brie I ate it with. I will need to try the sourdough next time to see how it taste.

YUM yum yum yum yum yum Fresh crunchy sesame-encrusted sourdough baguette buttered up and eaten with hot tea on a rainy morning -- heaven! The people who work here also seem really nice. The hours posted above are incorrect. I dropped by on a Wednesday morning at 9am and it was open for business.

The best! I'm very particular about what I eat and everything they make is delicious. I buy it every week.
