Seven Hills Baking Co is the premier for world class, scratch made baked goods, led by an award winning chef. This bakery is defined by its dedication to traditional techniques and high quality ingredients.
You must try their signature Sourdough Loaves, which are praised for their crispy crust and are even used in their sourdough cookies. Their laminated pastries are equally impressive, particularly the rich, flaky butter croissant and Kouign Amann.

I always get the best Bread loads here before a big family dinner. They had that feeling of old world selection of choices in breads. I love the olive loaf. The pastries are also very good. I'm sure you will find something here to make you happy even late at night.

Our friend recommended this for sourdough and qouign amann. We got there about 815 am. After deciding on an almond croissant, ham and cheese croissant, a sourdough baguette and a simple morning bun with coffee, we proceeded to try a sampling of each. Yum. The right balance of crunch and sweet and butter. My husband hoped they would toast the bread a little and the quiche would have been a nice variety but they don't have the heating capability. They also have just drip coffee. Service was nice, and efficient. My favorite was the quoign amann, you can easily split up the layers should you chooae to savor it.

Sorry I don't have photos, and I almost hesitate to mention my favorite treat from Seven Hills Baking Co., because I hate showing up and finding out it's all sold out . . . but I will mumble the name (chocolate espresso cookie), which is to die for. But then there's the triple ginger cookie, and the best bran muffin I've ever had, and some very tasty quiches I grab for quick breakfasts, and a croissant that actually demonstrated to me what a croissant was really supposed to taste like. And I love to buy a ciabattina or two for morning butter toast or individual garlic breads with pasta or a really nice sandwich,.

It is such a delight to have this small bakery in the Marketplace -- I feel so very European as I drift from vendor to vendor to pick one of those and two of these, and a little bag of that. And Seven Hills Baking is always my last stop, so I can rush home and indulge my sweet tooth in happy privacy.

I usually don’t write reviews, but I felt I needed to share this experience. After graduating and moving to this town, I was excited to find a good local bakery. I stopped by on a Saturday morning to buy a sourdough baguette, hoping it would be freshly baked.

The person who helped me assured me it was baked that morning. I trusted that and took one from the display shelf. However, when I got home, the bread was rock hard—so hard that when I tried to cut it (even with a bread knife), I actually injured my hand. It felt stale and dry, nothing like fresh sourdough.

Honestly, the baguette tasted worse than what you can get at the grocery store. Even the ones from Sprouts are much fresher and better in quality. Unfortunately, this will be my first and last time buying from this bakery
