Not going to lie, the exterior is rough around the edges. Also, you will find signs that point you…read morein the correct direction to the entrance but that still didn't stop me from telling my husband, " this doesn't feel right" and forcing him to walk all the way to what appeared to be the front to try that first. The real entrance is a back door that looks pretty uninviting but trust me, you want to enter it. When you are inside you will be met with racks of freshly baked bread ready to go home with you. If no one is around just holler out and someone will be with you promptly. Palermo's is a commercial bakery that you can find in nearby grocery stores but why not go directly to the source and support local. We picked up a sourdough baguette, a sweet baguette, and a few sandwiches rolls. Overall, my favorite was the sourdough baguette. I can't wait to come back here and order more bread to share. *** cash only ***

I'm a sucker for a good baguette. I wanted it to be slightly crispy on the outside so that you hear…read morethe crunch when you lightly press it between your fingers, but I also want it to be dense enough that it springs back... all while retaining a soft and airy interior that isn't TOO airy that, when you slice it to make Crostini, the air pockets are too large to hold anything on top of it. Is that too much to ask? All jokes aside, their sourdough baguette was excellent. A bit firmer than I like, but an even texture on the inside, and the tanginess was exactly right. The sweet baguette was a bit undercooked in my opinion, and did not have the crispier texture or color on the outside that I was looking for. The interior had the density I was looking for, but the sweetness was missing. I also ordered a sandwich bread And it was "fine" but not anything special. I'm excited to come by and purchase more sourdough and other bread options, but I'll pass on the other two that I tried. Remember to bring cash as this is a very casual walk up spot. There was one gentleman working in the bakery when I arrived, and he had to stop what he was doing in order to help us. He was friendly and informative and made us feel welcome. Finding the entrance is a bit confusing at first but they do have plenty of signage to direct you to the right door. Even so, when you walk up the steps, you feel like you are entering through the back entrance of a restricted employee only area. Don't let the grimy exterior fool you. Inside is very clean and this is a working commercial bakery. You won't find a counter or register in sight. Just say hello when you arrive and someone will be with you shortly. Enjoy!

It had freshly cooked bacon to perfection, butter lettuce, the freshest tomatoes, an aioli sauce, on perfectly toasted sourdough bread. Would 100% get it again and I hope it's not seasonal because everyone should try this sandwich!! Flourless Brownie: 8/10 It definitely is a flourless brownie the texture of it is almost like fudge. It melts in your mouth instantly, there's not really much of a structure to the brownie. If you're a texture person this might not be for you as it's not a traditional brownie it's extra gooey. However, absolutely love the flavor of it. It's a rich chocolate flavor with powdered sugar on top. As a dark chocolate lover this was pretty good!! Banana Bread with Chocolate Chips: 6/10 It's nothing too special, it was more on the dry side but still strong banana flavor! Overall experience: 9/10 Customer service wasn't the greatest while waiting for our sandwich we didn't really know we had to wait, where to wait, and when I changed my mind on a pastry someone gave me a face. However, the ambience of the restaurant and food made up for it. I loved sitting outside, an amazing way to sit down and have a chat.

Absolute perfection, crispy on the outside with that caramelized, slightly charred sugar, and packed with soft apple pieces inside. The texture balance was unreal: crunchy edges with a soft, sweet center. The ube donut was good too, definitely on the sweeter side. If you love sweet treats, you'll enjoy it, but I personally wished the ube flavor came through a bit more to balance it out. The blueberry donut was another standout. Super soft and muffin-like with plenty of blueberry flavor throughout, plus a nice outer layer for texture. Honestly way better than a typical chain version. Donut holes were solid as well, simple, fresh, and satisfying. Overall, everything tasted fresh and high quality. Service was fast, and the baker was super friendly, hooked it up with extra donuts, which made the experience even better. The vibe was welcoming, and it's definitely a spot worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.
