    this is the back parking lot but you can see the understated signage!
    Gary Y.

    There are bakeries (which are specialty places for luxuriously decadent handmade nuggets) and there are bakeries (commercial bread loaves), and Palermo is clearly one of the new destination commercial breadmakers! It reminds me of the old "Columbo" sourdough bakeries near the Oakland Coliseum, where you could get the freshest loaves at wholesale prices. It is harder to find than most (it has a giant TOGO sign out front but otherwise you won't see any signage from Fremont St), but you can see the flour on the floor, the machinery for mixing, and the sacks of flour. You enter from the side door, and there you can choose from at least 10 types of bread, from their famous ciabatta to baguettes of sourdough and sesame sprinkled. We're now headed for the store to buy a stick of good butter, and feast!!!

    Excellent bread! So fresh and very cheap! They have everything from rolls to sourdough bread bowls.

    Ask the Community - Palermo Bakery

    Which restaurants carry your sourdough bread?

    Does the sourdough bread freeze well ? Or should you just keep going back for more?

    Their sourdough and other breads freeze very well, especially if you purchase them the same day they were baked and freeze them promptly.

Also love their macarons, apple galette, and croissant- whether it's butter, chocolate, and almond, you can never go wrong! Great service is always happily provided by the staff. Cozy little patisserie alongside the postal service. They have outdoors tables and chairs and street parking.

    We were recommended this bakery by a friend who visits Carmel often and really loves it, so we were…read moreexcited to try it while visiting from Texas too. It's a small shop, and since I wasn't sure yet if I wanted a pastry, I ordered a coffee first while my husband looked at the case. One of the women behind the counter told me, "Usually you order pastries first and then we get the coffee at the end." The way it was said immediately made me feel uncomfortable, like I was somehow doing something wrong. I apologized and explained we weren't from here and I wasn't even sure yet if I wanted anything else. Their tone changed after that and became much friendlier, which honestly made the interaction feel even more awkward. My husband ended up ordering pastries, including a chocolate croissant for me, and both the latte and croissant were good. Sometimes the experience matters just as much as the food. It's hard to fully enjoy a place when your first impression made you feel unwelcome. I truly wanted to love this spot because it came so highly recommended as she visited it daily, but I left feeling more embarrassed than excited to return.
