Prager Brothers Artisan Bread

The bread was good, but I didn’t feel the staff had a very positive attitude. It almost seemed like they didn’t want to be working that day.

I ride my bike here almost every week and get a loaf of bread for the weekend along with a few pastries, I like their goods and come back because normally it’s a pleasant experience.

Today I went in for a loaf of bread, 3 pastries, and a coffee. When I went to pay I asked if they’d fill my water bottle with tap water, the employee checking me out refused because “they only have tap water and couldn’t give it out”, I said I don’t mind and that they normally fill me up every week, they continued to refuse. I paid them left calmly, yet it didn’t sit right with me. I thought to myself “don’t they use water for their pastries”, “what water does the drip coffee use”. I then stopped at a nearby park to fill up my bottle at a water fountain and remembered that in california a restaurant or cafe can’t refuse to give a customer tap water, and am writing this review after confirming this after a quick google.

I still like this place even thought this particular employee made a mistake (this is why I give 2 stars instead of 1), but I hope in writing this review this issue can be resolved. It’s left a bad feeling for me and I hope I can get over it, with so many options in the area, we’ll have to see if I decide to come back next week or chose somewhere else.

Bread is consistently delicious

More affordable then most places.Best cheese danish I’ve had. You know you have a dough master when even the more simple ingredients are perfectly balanced. Passionate about their products staff which is lovely and infectious.

I've been coming to the Encinitas location since it opened for my weekly loaf of bread and occasional lunchtime sandwich. I live 1 mile away, and work 1 block away. They used to be delicious, filling a void of good sandwiches in downtown Encinitas. A few months ago I ordered the Caprese, and it was mediocre, at best, but I figured they had an off day. Today I ordered a long time favorite, Spicy Italian. Every component was gross. The bread was stale, the red pepper/tahini spread was fully soaked into the stale bread, the salami tasted old (sour taste), the lettuce was totally brown. It was disgusting, and inedible. I know what this sandwich used to taste like, and at one time it was delicious. Not only has the price gone up, the quality is terrible. Stick to the loafs of bread and skip the soggy, stale, old sandwiches. It's too bad.

Hole in the wall store front. First visit and regret not stopping here many times before - definitely some of the best food in SD - the seeded baguette was really good - the walnut scone was better (not as hard) at the Carlsbad store (back to back visits).

8 am is a ridiculous time to open for a bakery. It doesn’t serve anyone in the community who takes the 6:55, 7:35, or 7:55 coaster to work. They don’t bake on site, so this is just lazy logistics.

Best bread ever. Love it!

Delicious, freshly baked breads and pastries. This bakery was our go to for pastries while on vacation. I don't think I had a single thing I didn't like from here. Strongly recommend for your bakery needs.

Prager Brothers is a true gem if you appreciate high-quality, handcrafted bread. Every loaf I’ve tried has been phenomenal — crusty on the outside, perfectly chewy inside, and full of flavor. Their croissants and sandwiches are also next level; you can taste the care in every bite. It’s the kind of bakery that makes you excited to get up early and beat the line. If you’re anywhere near North County, it’s worth the detour. A must for bread lovers!

They list all of the ingredients they use for each item on their website, so it is easy to tell what is vegan. I got their vegan sandwich. It looks like all of their sandwiches are premade. The sandwich was good but could have used more filling. Everything else that had looked phenomenal, and I would have definitely grabbed a loaf of bread if I had been staying in the area longer.
