About Our Artisan Sourdough

Our sourdough program uses a heritage starter that's been nurtured for years, fed daily with organic flour to maintain its unique character. The slow fermentation process breaks down gluten and phytic acid, making our bread easier to digest than conventional loaves. We offer classic country sourdough with its signature tangy crumb, as well as specialty flavors like rosemary olive oil, jalapeƱo cheddar, everything seasoning, and seasonal variations. Our focaccia is pillowy-soft with a crisp bottom and topped with whatever's fresh from local San Diego farmers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does your sourdough require 3-5 days' notice?

Real sourdough can't be rushed. Our bread undergoes a minimum 24-hour fermentation, plus time for shaping, proofing, and baking. By ordering ahead, you're guaranteed a loaf baked fresh on your pickup day — not bread that's been sitting on a shelf. This slow process is what gives our sourdough its signature flavor, texture, and digestibility. Trust us, it's worth the wait.
