delicious rustic breads, sweet and savory pastries, and fun chatting with folks in line (perfect weather didn't hurt either!)
Great Popup for bread and pasteries We have been a customer for years. Get there early.

Ponsford's Place is a specialty bakery with an ever-changing organic seasonal menu of fresh and delicious baked goods. The owner, trained in Paris, offers a gluten-free paradise, including unique breads like the 50/50 Rye Spelt, which is full of flavor and texture. Customers recommend trying the croissants, which are considered the best and healthiest. The bakery is a hidden gem located just off Fourth Street in San Rafael and is only open on Saturdays. Many customers pre-order between Wednesday and Friday to ensure they get their favorite treats, as many items sell out quickly. Visitors often arrive early, sometimes finding a small line when the bakery opens. The pastries and breads are highly praised and are considered the best in San Rafael. Recent reviews highlight the perfection of the cardamom knot, with crunchy and soft layers and the right amount of spice, topped with pearl sugar. The friendly service adds to the charm of this beloved bakery.
