In my opinion they bake the Best French Bread ? in Sonoma County, I make a special trip down to their bakery to get it on 7th street in Santa Rosa, always fresh and tasty ?

Since the day I went was the day before thanksgiving it was a whole holiday vibe there. Seriously reminded me of one of those holiday Hallmark movies. The bakery was bustling, there was a line of customers coming in to get bread for tomorrow. All customers were in a great mood and very chatty, some had been coming to this bakery for 20+ years, some it was there first time there. The workers all seemed happy and energetic, even with the line everyone was in and out fast and efficiently. A nice lady even offered to help me with my bread to my car bc I had two huge turkeys and a bag full of loaves and was struggling a bit. lol! I was already gonna give 5 stars for the amazing fresh bread, great service and even more amazing low prices but then as I was leaving the neighborhood cat came to greet me. I love a kitty mascot I always forget about this place until I need speciality bread or a fancy bread bowl and they never disappoint. This is the first year I ordered a Turkey bread bowl for thanksgiving and I'm obsessed with it! I cannot wait to show up to dinner tomorrow with this fancy bread bowl.

Wonderful breads that are delicious by themselves or with any meal. Wonderful flavor and texture! There is not one bread there that I would not recommend, all are just delicious. You can get their breads in many stores but go to the bakery for a great variety of breads, a wonderful staff that is helpful and informative and to see all their awards.

You can't find a better shower than a French bread. It is the oldest traditional bakeries of French bread in Santa Rosa. It has been in business in the same location since 1900 amazing.

Just like other numerous business places that can’t update their hours of business, This is another. CLOSED Thursdays !! Wednesday is anyone’s guess, It use to be closed on Wednesdays. Change the hours on the window but not on the website, That makes zero sense. Thanks for the drive across town for no reason. Great bread !! When they are open.

Small storefront at the bakery or you can pick up Franco American products in most stores. Great sourdough. The staff is always friendly Love the take and bake rolls. So easy and there's nothing like a freshly baked roll to take an ordinary meal up a notch or two.

What a treat! After stumbling upon this place I'm never buying bread from the grocery store again. Franco is priced better and more importantly, it tastes fantastic.

I like this shop :-) Nestled as it is in this old residential neighbor, it's saturated with tradition and small town pride. The petiteness of its front end attached to its large workshop shouts that this is a local institution whose business it is to feed the community and provide honest work for its residents. The young woman who waited on me was friendly and efficient, and asked one of her colleagues when she didn't know the answer to my question: "Is the sweet bread actually sweet?" (The answer, by the way, is no. It's regular bread that isn't "sour", as it appears their sourdough is their primary offering). The bread itself is standard American fare. I bought the Bastoni, the crustiest of their loaves from what I could surmise after squeezing every single one, rolls included ;-P Toasted and slathered with the best butter my money can buy, it is merely adequate, if what you're looking for is a bread experience. I'd put it in the acceptable sandwich bread category. The $1 price tag (no tax, of course) surprised me pleasantly, though. If I had a factory or a school to feed, I'd be seriously considering placing a large order with these folks.
