Seed Bakery

Quite some years ago, after watching the NetFlix documentary, "Cooked," featuring Michael Pollan, & named after the book he authored by the same title, I was fascinated by the nutritional, & health benefits described, explained, & ascribed to artisan sourdough breads when made following the slower, traditional methods long used by bread making cultures of the world throughout history. I was so excited & inspired that I immediately sought out bakery sources where sourdough bread made in this traditional way might be found. The Seed Bakery was one of the first two such bakeries I found listed anywhere near to me, & it was the one I visited as I sometimes had occasion to be in the area where it is located. They bake a lovely, delicious variety of sourdough breads made from selected, organic g

The baked goods are $$ & worth the money. On a Wed before Thanksgiving, I ran into the retired, esteemed baker/ pastry chef, Sumi Chang, @ Seed. Sumi said that Seed bakers "know what they're doing..." Favorites: sweet & savory croissants, pretzel, scones, bread, breakfast croissant. The service can be more organized & friendly @ their price point. No table service - only walk-up window for ordering.

Was early for an event at the Rose Bowl and found this a short distance away. Super high quality baked goods made on site and served by the owner herself! Was impressed with the apple pastry and fresh baguette. The baguette held up well for hours and was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The apple taste was not too sweet and the pastry buttery and flaky. No dining area, pickup only (for now). bought a bag of their granola too, haven't tried it yet but price was $10 and the bag was heavy, which bodes well for the value.

The best bakery on earth. The bread is fantastic and the pastries are life changing. They always have new, unique and seasonal pastries, many which use local produce. They also have the best croissant in America. The raspberry or berry croissants are great too. It’s hard to choose which pastry to get because there are so many great ones. Get there early—they will sell out of some things by 10 AM on the weekend.

Freshly baked bread and a nice spot to enjoy a morning breakfast. Everything feels fresh and made with care.
