This is the bread I eat EVERY day and I love it! The cracked wheat sourdough is my favorite. It's superb!

We love their sourdough bread. It tastes great, and is cheaper than San Luis Sourdough. I wish there was a storefront where we could buy some. read more

We are newcomers and read the review about driving 450 miles 2x a year to buy Brian's sourdough bread. Decided we needed to find it and get some. Got the address and set out, but could only find a few of their vans parked next to an unmarked building. We decided to try the "Employees Only" door as we could smell baking bread. We met Brice! He's the owner and he listened to our story. He told us they are wholesale only and many of the local grocery stores and restaurants offer their bread. He was warm, kind and sent us off with rolls, a loaf and a big smile. The bread was fantastic! Yes, Brian's bread has been available at every grocery store we have tried. Thanks for helping us out Brice. We are customers for life! read more

Great bread. Really love the texture and flavor of their sourdough bread. It is great to have a local bakery that is this great.

bEEN a sourdougn lover for 60 years... tried them all US and France. San Fran to San Diego.... Even baked with starters from the gold rush in Alaska and CA.... Lombardys in Petaluma was the best till they closed several years ago.... THEN Discovered Brian Bread and drive 450 miles rt twice a year to load up on it.... WHY: it is hands down the finest, best taste and texture of ANY sourdough being produced in the world in my opinion. Because it depends on water and airborne yeasts and biota that can only be found in coastal areas and temperate climates. Santa Rosa to Santa Barbara. The "sweet spot is Atascedero CA it appears.. where natural fermentation and climate come together, similiar to the wine regions. Dont waste your time with any other synthetic chemicaly altered dough.... THIS is IT!!!!! read more

I never would have tasted this delicious sourdough if it hadn't been for Ada's Fish House in Pismo. The sourdough rolls were to die for, and luckily the waitstaff told us where to find Brian's Bread locally. We brought some delicious rolls home to So Cal, as well as the amazing sliced rosemary w/olive oil. I'll be placing an online order soon, as my family is now hooked on this wonderful bread. Thank you Brian, for selling such a delicious all natural sourdough bread! read more

Best bread I've ever had ever! Texture taste local as well winner !! The Range in Santa Margarita serves it w dinner bonus. read more

Brian's Breads - Brian's Sour Dough bread the best I've ever had hands down...picture taken at the Range in Santa Margarita - Bakeries Near Me - Atascadero, California

Brian's bread is the best bread on the Central Coast hands down.

The best sour dough we've ever had. Got a loaf in Morro Bay at the fish market. Incredible.

We were on a short road trip down south for some R&R when we had a chance to try Brian's Bread. We're from the San Francisco Bay Area and we don't have sourdough like this up here anymore. (Insert sad face) When we tried to bread at the Cracker Crab in Pismo we knew that we had to buy some. My husband and I LOVE bread... When the server brought the bread to the table, my Husband tried it first. He said, "You don't want any of this bread, save room for your dinner." Then he looked at me laughed and said, "This is the best Sourdough I've had in a long time." On our way home we ended up at the Bakery... Unfortunately, they are wholesalers and they aren't able to sale to the public. One of the employees by the name of Sue came outside and greeted me and pointed us in the right direction. She was awesome!!! I have to say hand down the BEST SOURDOUGH BREAD EVER!!! This coming from a bread lover... Please find a way to sale Brian's Bread online! Till then I will be taking more trips south to get good bread. Keep up the great work!!! Thank you SUE!!! You ROCK!!! read more

This bread deserves more stars. It is the very best in sourdough bread. Used to buy all the other sourdough's with San Luis being my preferred, but like others mentioned here quickly disappointed in their decline in taste, texture etc. stumbled into Brian's bread in the Santa Maria Costco. Heavenly! Best bread ever and now I won't buy any other, ever. I bought 4 loaves a few days ago and it has quickly vanished here, Two were cracked wheat sourdough rounds and the other two were sourdough baguette style for making garlic bread. The latter was gone the first night. The rest has been the breakfast and lunch staple, making everything on it or with it taste better! I will buy 4 or more loaves when I head home to SoCal! read more

Dear Brian, You're bread is really awesome. I'm not sure if it was you who we we're about to strong arm across the street from Dorn's, but the 'Asian Mafia' was gonna take your bread, sit in your van and stuff our faces full of sourdough goodness. Really. I'm not sure if we go to Dorn's to eat your bread or if it's the other way around, regardless, it's awesome. We spoke with the delivery guy and we were told where to buy the goods, so we went to our nearest Albertson's on our way out of Morro Bay and bought a lot of bread. It was embarrassing but we didn't care. As tourists, instead of buying 'Morro Bay' sweatshirts, we bought 'BRIAN'S BREAD!' I myself don't eat a lot of bread. But I can assure you that I ate both heels from my bread basket and I'll do it again! We might even give up rice for your bread...well that's a stretch...but we'll see! Keep on baking! Sincerely, The Weird Asian Group of People Who Loves Your Bread read more

We have been buying SLO Sourdough for several years but became fed up in the last 6 months due to the decreasing quality, (large holes in every loaf - apparently "air" holes or something in the production). When Vons started having Brians Sourdough, we quickly realized the great improved taste and overall quality - you must try this bread if you like good old fashioned sourdough. read more

Brian's Bread is the Best Sourdough Bread around and it is made right here in Atascadero. For years San Luis Sourdough was it for me but times have changed and so have my taste buds. read more

I have never been to the bakery, but I will definitely go when I am in Atascadero. I found Brian's Bread at Spencer's and the Albertson by our apartment in Orcutt. I have tried the Rosemary, Cracked Wheat, and regular sourdough flavors. I have used the baguette, slicing and toasting with olive oil and garlic for bruschetta- Oh My Heaven- Yum-O! This is the most AMAZING bread ever. I usually try and lay low on the carbs, but I told my husband that for the time we spend up here I am going to throw caution to the wind and enjoy this bread! The flavor is delish, and the texture is nice and chewy. I have never had anything like it anywhere else- so I will enjoy it while I have access to it! It is the same price that you would pay for other "store" bread like Sheepherders, but it's fresh not all chemically fake. If you see this bread buy it, if you don't like it you can give me the leftovers! Ha! Totally not kidding! read more

After having a Brian's sourdough roll with our dinner last night (Ada's in Pismo Beach) I asked the waiter where they came from. He explained that they came from Brian's Bakery. We tracked them down in Atascadero and unfortunately they only sell the rolls to restaurants. Luckily the assistant manager was there and shared some with me. It was wonderful of him to do that for us. Thank you so much and they are delicious! read more

You know it's bad when you can't eat ANY other bread. Brian's cracked wheat is always so soft and fresh. It's been a staple in our home for at least the last 5 years. The sweet wheat is seriously sinful. You can't usually find it but in a few delis, but my goodness, this bread makes a deli sandwich more than amazing!!! Yummmmmm read more

The best sourdough. I grew up eating San Luis Sourdough, which has gotten increasingly worse in quality over the years after Sara Lee bought them. We had to stop buying the SLS because it was going moldy in like, 4 days and had zero of the good sourdough flavor. Thankfully Brian started making his bread again! We've switched over to that and it's awesome! My favorite is the rosemary and olive oil. I do wish they had the roasted garlic version of this bread, but that's okay. My favorite way to eat it is toasted with tons and tons of butter. Delicious. Seriously, this is the best bread ever and it goes with just about everything. I'm happy to have the local version of this bread back again. read more

Brian's bread IS SLO Sourdough. You all know that, right? Well, I should say it IS what San Luis Sourdough USED to be. Then they (Brian, I guess) sold the brand to Sara Lee. Brian's bread is the new San Luis Sourdough. It's the best and all the best delis in town (like Full Belly Deli in Paso) use it for their sandwiches. Sourdough is from California and Brian's Bread is from San Luis Obispo. 'Nuff said. read more

After being a SLO sourdough faithful customer from the day they opened their door. I have recently become VERY disappointed in the quality of their product ( my SLO bread get moldy just after a few day of purchase. Today I bought my first loaf of Brain's Bread, had to open a give it a taste all I can say is WOW!!!!! read more

Hey - Straight and Simple! You can get Brian's Bread at Spencer's and other stores and it is Good sourdough. A little smoother than SL sourdough and sliced a bit thinner and I really like it toasted! read more

Awesome bread. Much more "sour" tasting than San Luis Sourdough. When I was a kid, SLO sourdoug was a staple in our house... but Since they got bought by Sara Lee, things went down hill. Brians bread is my new favorite. read more

Real San Francisco sourdough seemed to have disappeared years ago, except perhaps in San Francisco. We have tried many sourdoughs, even some from small famous bakeries, and have not found it. BUT, we just found it! The big Brian's plain sourdough baguette is fabulous. It has the real old fashioned sour taste and is chewy, dense, real bread. We are very happy. I hope Brian's does not get bought out by any of the awful regular bread makers. Thank you Brian's for having the brains and creativity to bring this pleasure back for us. read more

Great locally made bread! What San Luis Sourdough used to be!

Their rosemary olive dinner rolls are amazing. We like Brian's products because they're fresh, reasonably priced & not filled w/a bunch of preservatives. Plus we like to support local businesses so when I'm in Food 4 Less, I pick up a bag of dinner rolls and some sliced wheat sourdough. So delicious!! read more

Brian's bread soft fresh and tastey. We can purchase it at the Food 4 Less I and grocery outlet in Atascadero . Perfect to toast for garlic bread on the BBQ or sliced bread for sandwichs.. read more

The best sourdough bread around! Love that it's local. Brian's sourdough is our family's favorite by far!

Best. Bread. Ever. Basic ingredients, no soy flour added as SL Sourdough has done.

Best bread in North America! Simple as that.

Best sourdough EVER! Brian's bread comes in many shapes, sizes and flavors! Rolls, baguette, wheat, Rosemary ...

Quite simply, it's the only bread we buy and we (my wife and I) are very particular where bread is concerned. It's become a staple in our home for the last 2 years. I want to personally thank Brian Francisco for working so hard and caring so much to put out such a high quality bread. Brian, we hope you know that your commitment to quality is truly appreciated, how refreshing it is to read that there are only a handful of ingredients in your bread when even most grocery store bakery breads contain paragraphs. We want you to know how much we appreciate it. It's to the point where, if Brian's bread were not available, we'd probably resort to baking our own because we just wouldn't be satisfied with anything else. Ingredients mean a great deal to us, wholesomeness mean a great deal to us. We are very willing to pay for the difference. We hope that your success is as balanced as our satisfaction. Sincerely Evan and Lynn. read more

We have been sourdough lovers for longer than I can remember, my personal starter is over 50 years old. Brian's Breads are the best, just don't get any better! read more

Went to Cambria last week, bought a loaf of Brian's sourdough at Soto's. We had never heard of Brian's bread, but my husband and I both said it was the best sourdough ever. Then we went to Sebastian's in San Simeon, for a hamburger and pattie melt. The beef there is supposed to be the star, but Brian's rye bread and the hamburger bun were the best ever! We asked where they bought their baked goods, so we know it was Brian's bread. When we returned to Cambria we bought another loaf of sourdough. Yummmmmmeeeee! read more

While visiting SLO County on business this week, I had to make sure I returned home with some Brian's Sourdough Bread. It is, by far, the best, most flavorful, sourdough bread I have found. Better than the artisan breads at my local stores and bakeries in Orange County ... and I've tried many. Right now Brian's bread is not available in Orange County, but it is worth the trek to San Luis Obispo area if you are looking for authentic, flavorful sourdough bread. Hopefully distributors in the OC area will take note and stock our local stores. read more

This is the BEST sourdough bread we have ever eaten. We have a vacation home near Lake Nacimiento and purchased it at Oak Hills Market. We never leave the area without buying a couple of loaves to bring home. THE BREAD IS WONDERFUL wish we could get in the So. Cal. read more

It's so gratifying to see that it wasn't just me! The devotion to San Luis Sourdough from its very start, the sudden decline in its quality (by that time I was living in So Cal, so happy to be able to buy it down there), getting moldy after only a few days, discontinuing the unsliced French loaf style (perfect for garlic bread), holes so big the only way to use the bread was to stuff the holes with bread torn from the centers of other pieces for grilled cheese or French toast ... when I returned to SLO County to live, I quickly found that a major blessing was having Brian's Bread close at hand. I'm too lazy to make my own but sick of going out of my way to find premium priced bread without sugar or designer-chemical additives. For authentic healthy sourdough so chewy and tangy and hearty -- Brian's Bread is IT. I just tried the sourdough rolls, wrapped them in tinfoil and heated them in the oven. It was like a time machine to the mid 1960s and the late 1980s in San Francisco, eating at Scoma's or some other great restaurant. THANK YOU Brian's Breads. Please stand strong and solid. read more

Thank you so much for supplying your fabulous bread for Cannon's fundraising event tomorrow. Always so delicious!
