Excellent service. Pick up instructions were clear and they will even meet you at your car. The breads are delicious / amazing flavor from such few ingredients. The add in / inclusion breads are definitely worth a try. A great neighborhood find. May Lucy keep baking fresh bread for a long time! read more

We love Lucy's bread. You can tell she puts love into it. It reminds me of Bread and Cie in San Diego. She is also very nice and responsive. If you have time, I def recommend going to the Mission Viejo farmers market on Saturday bc she has samples and there's other booths to check out. Other than that, you can only pick up at her home in Lake Forest on Fridays between 4-7pm (I think). We've tried the jalapeño cheese, olive bread, and sliced sourdough. Jalapeño cheese so far is the winner. I only wish it is easier to pick up. read more

Just a quick update: I've now shared the blueberry lemon sourdough loaf with 3 other people, and we are all in agreement. It's absolutely delicious. The amount of blueberries, and how the lemon zest comes through is fantastic. And the crust... holy moly, the crust is perfection. read more

I saw that Lucy was at the farmers market in mission viejo this morning, so went over and picked up a boule of sourdough. $13. Sounds pricey, but it isn't. This is real sourdough. Crackling bite to the crust, nice chew, irregular airy pockets, and just darn good. It isn't terribly sour on the sourdough spectrum, but I enjoyed it very much. This type of bread takes days to make, with lots of needed attention. Salt, flour, water... That's it. With my new constant glucose monitor, I've been experimenting with carbs that give me serious spikes. White bread goes to 260, whole wheat I make myself to around 200, and 176 for a fat slice of this sourdough. Very happy with the outcome. Type 2? Check out this sourdough! read more

We had the most delicious sourdough loaves made by Lucy. I like toasted sourdough, so we popped it into the oven while dinner was cooking to get a bit crispy. What came out was a wonderful experience. The crumb on the bread was perfect to our taste. The presentation of the loaves is also exquisite. I froze a loaf so that I can thaw and share it with friends who are coming over tomorrow night. read more

Lucy’s Sourdough Bakery - Such a pretty loaf of sourdough, and delicious, too! - Bakeries Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Tucked away in Lake Forest is a hidden gem that's winning hearts--and stomachs--one loaf at a time. LUCY'S SOURDOUGH BAKERY, a home-based micro-bakery run by Lusine (who goes by Lucy), is a testament to tradition, passion, and the simple joy of really good bread. I found Lucy's in a Facebook thread and decided to see what it was all about. I am so glad I did. My order did not disappoint. Lucy's sourdough journey began in 2023, after her children had grown and she sought a way to work without leaving her beloved dogs, Gus and Tank, home alone all day. Drawing on years of baking experience and encouragement from friends and neighbors, she turned her longtime hobby into a thriving local business. It's a true family affair from start to finish. Each loaf is lovingly handcrafted from scratch using only the highest-quality ingredients and a treasured ten-year-old sourdough starter passed down from Lucy's mother, Gayane--affectionately known as "Jane." This living starter, playfully nicknamed Jane Dough, is the heart and soul of every creation that emerges from Lucy's kitchen. Behind the scenes, Lucy's husband lends a vital helping hand after finishing his regular 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. job--whether it's bagging orders, assisting with prep, or taking care of customers, he's always ready to step in wherever needed. The bakery operates by appointment only, with weekly pre-orders closing Tuesday at 3:00 PM. Pickup is available Fridays from 4:00-7:00 PM. You can also find Lucy at the Mission Viejo Farmers Market Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at 25282 Marguerite Parkway, Mission Viejo Menu favorites include classic Country Brown Sourdough, Seeded Sourdough, Baguettes, Rye with Caraway, and rotating monthly flavors in petite loaves. Each batch is long-fermented and made without commercial yeast or preservatives. In a world of shortcuts and additives, Lucy's Sourdough Bakery is refreshingly authentic--and definitely worth the carbs.

Awesome sourdough bread. It's moist and flavorful. It's better than any other sourdough I've had. I've also tried the Lemon Blueberry and Chocolate Expresso. Those are excellent as well. I go to the Saturday farmer's market in Mission Viejo to buy her bread. My only complaint is that I she is only open to pick up twice a week, but I understand that it takes time to make awesome bread. Keep up the great work! read more

Best varieties of sourdough bread and pizza crust I have ever had. Always fresh and perfect. Routinely sells out at Farmer's Markets. If you can't make a market, you can order & porch pick up in Lake Forest once a week. read more

I picked up two sourdough loaves last night and we just cut in to one this morning and it is delicious. My kids kept asking for more. I was going to share one loaf with my mom but I'm not sure it will last long enough to share with her not only is it delicious but it's beautiful! I've already signed up to get the weekly menus and WOW there are so many choices. I'm so excited to try some other goodies. Thanks Lucy! read more

My kids and I are obsessed with Lucy's Sourdough Bakery! The sliced bread is hands-down the best we've ever had--perfect for everything from toast to sandwiches--and the cookies are next-level delicious. Everything is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. Plus, ordering is super easy and convenient. Thanks Lucy! read more

Best sourdough I've ever had! And I feel so healthy knowing it's all organic, locally made, and with NONE of the additives and chemicals found in grocery store breads. Can't wait to try all the other seasonal breads! read more

Lucy's sourdough is, by far, the best sourdough I've ever had. She has both savory and sweet varieties and, of course, her plain is a classic. She bakes true sourdough that has a long fermentation time. You can't go wrong. Her bread is not only delicious but, filling. The plain is classic and beautiful. I strongly recommend the focaccia, the porridge, the jalapeño cheddar, and the sandwich loaves are perfectly soft. The Everything Bagel, the seasoning is throughout the loaf and the chocolate espresso, you get chocolate without sweetness. It's beautifully rich. I have tried everything and just LOVE. Her cookies, and brownies, and coffee cake are beyond heavenly. Her brownies and fudgey and chocolatey without being overly sweet. Her brown butter chocolate chip cookies are soft and chewy, you can taste the vanilla and chocolate, the hint of sea salt both enhances and balances the flavor. It's a full sensory experience. Her snickerdoodles are cinnamon and sugar perfection with a chewy texture. I'm not only a loyal customer but, a foodie. If you do porch pickup, that's where you can get all the sweet bakes, and more variety of breads. Her loaves are generous in portion and freeze well. First class service and world class bakes. read more

I picked up my Jalapeño cheddar sourdough bread and it was so fresh and delicious. Easy pick up and friendly service.

I've been wanting to try Lucy's Sourdough Bakery for a while and finally got the chance today. I brought home a loaf of her Parmesan artichoke sourdough and my whole family loved it! I had it plain, my son toasted it with a drizzle of olive oil, and my husband used it to make a sandwich. I'd get this one again in a heartbeat and also plan to try some of her other flavors. Not only is the bread incredible, but the owner is so kind and very responsive to messages. read more
