Amazing baked goods and fantastic people. Everyone there is friendly. If you want the breads you get in restaurants, this is the place.

Bordenave's is a favorite of my BFF's. She no longer lives in Marin, but in sourdough free Washington State. This was a gift for her birthday. She was thrilled and is loving all the sourdough. Thank you.

Walking into Bordenave's Bakery feels like stepping back in time. In a world where speed and shortcuts dominate, this place is a gentle rebellion—a return to the slow, soulful rhythm of baking as it once was. The air is thick with the comforting aroma of flour, yeast, and time.

Their bread isn’t just fresh—it’s alive. Crusts are perfectly blistered, golden and crackling, with just enough resistance to give way to tender, flavorful interiors. You can tell it’s made with care, fermented slowly, and baked in a real oven—not rushed through a production line. Every loaf carries a story, a memory, a kind of ancestral echo of simpler days when bread was the heart of the table, not a side note.

The sourdough and the Marble Rye is a standout. Staff are as warm as the bread. They’re happy to talk about their process and recommend the perfect loaf for your meal. You feel like part of something here—like your daily bread actually matters.

Seriously the most incredible sourdough bread, ever. So terrific that in spite of moving two states away we continue craving the delicious stuff! Nothing we have tried in our new state comes close to comparing with Bordenave’s Sourdough. Thank heavens we can order online and receive our order promptly and 100% accurate.

Absolutely amazing bread! We couldn't find any extra sour sourdough in Oklahoma. So, we ordered and got it! Yummy! I think we will get it delivered every week!

I am very happy with your service and delivery was not a problem. I used to be able to get the Sour Dinner Rolls locally, but sadly they closed. I will be using your online service again and for other products too. I am thrilled you provide this service.
