For someone who is trying to follow Dr orders and be gluten free this spot is a haven! The sourdough bread is full of flavor but also so easy on the belly of any with gluten sensitivity. And flaky and delicious to the point that you want to buy one of everything! We got some sourdough bread as well as a few croissants, cookies and then had a slice of focaccia pizza for lunch. It was so light and airy and yet tangy like a true sourdough. I couldn't stop eating! My husband inhaled his and then went to buy another piece to take with us (he ate it the next day for breakfast)! So amazing and I didn't have any side effects or belly ramifications. Truly a miracle. We would go here daily or start working here to get more of their flavors. Yum! I highly recommend trying them and seeing for yourself. read more

I love Proof Bread! They are my go to for stoneground sour dough bread, Croissants, cookies, English muffins, but most recently for their delicious Chocolate cherry loaf. Bellisima! Please make it often! read more

Saw they were at 99 reviews, figured I owed it to them. Anyways, I've been going here for a few years. First found them at the Flagstaff Farmers Market. Sourdough is top tier, pastries are delicious ( Especially them pumpkin curd danish around October / November! ) and the cookies are good as well. Staff, at both the farmers markets and the Shea location are nice, and always willing to give some samples. The Shea location is nice and clean. Only thing I'd say is that it's a touch echoey. Maybe a couple rugs would do well. All around, I really enjoy proof, five stars for sure. BUT.... MANAGAMENT IF YOU SEE THIS....PLEASE BRING BACK THE SEEDED MULTI GRAIN BREAD FROM A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. My wife and I were super bummed to find out you'd gone a different direction with that. But yea, if you're looking for great sourdough (toasted with grass fed butter is the way, I swear) Proof is the place! read more

I have been following Proof for years on social media. I learned how to make sourdough from videos that the owner Jon posted on YouTube. I have to say that once I finally got to experience the product in person I was not disappointed. We got a loaf of Khorasan bread and many assorted pastries including the rosemary twist and the morning bun which were my personal favorites. I can't recommend this bakery enough. The store was decorated very nicely and was super clean and quiet. read more

I have been buying Proof Bread for a very long time, and have visited most of their locations over the years. I've enjoyed watching them grow and have been really impressed with their progress over the years. The switch to home ground Rouge de Bordeaux on their breads was nothing short of amazing! The baguettes easily are one of my all time favorite items, followed by several of their loaves. Croissants are hit or miss for me. They tend to run a little too flaky for me, and sometimes when they're extra brown it makes the flakiness even more pronounced. Seasonal dessert croissants tend to be the most enjoyable, though I personally gravitate towards savory items. I recently tried a couple of their pretzels, and unfortunately, they were a disappointment. At $7 each I was expecting something special - they were ok, but maybe should have been $5 a piece considering the staff did not pack the cheese sauce in my order. By comparison a whole baguette, a fruit and nut boule, or a green olive boule is also $7, making the pretzels without cheese sauce feel overpriced. I would have not ordered the pretzels at $7 a piece had I known there would be no cheese sauce. I reached out to Proof via DM to share my experience, but have not received any response, though the message shows as read. The service portion of the experience (in store and online) fell short. I wanted to rate this visit higher, but not acknowledging customer feedback is a dealbreaker for me. read more

I'm lucky enough to be a close neighbor of Proof Bread because I stop by here at least twice a week! Friendly customer service every time. I always get the cheese and jalapeño sourdough loaf. It's fresh and soft with a hint of spiciness. Pain Au Chocolat croissant is my absolute fav but they also have a variety of pastries that are very tasty! I love this local spot! read more

I came here today to pick up some sourdough bread (apparently this bread is what a lot people in Blue Zones eat) and opted for the green olive boule ($7). This is a sourdough bread and I had it for breakfast this morning and it was delicious! I love olives and also sourdough. I did my happy breakfast dance this morning haha. I deducted one star as hours are very limited here and it closes at 2pm, makes it hard to always get here in time. I'll be back to pick up more sourdough bread when I get a chance. The prices are a bit high for bread, but you're paying for quality. read more

Proof Bread - Green olive boule (sourdough) - $7 - Bakeries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Would have loved to actually try the bakery items that I placed an online order for. Drove 30+ minutes to be told "sorry, we were really busy this morning and sold the stuff you purchased." Such a disappointment. read more

I've heard so much about this place - had to try it! Really great breads and croissants. We got about half a dozen different items and everybody loved each one of them! Was in and out quickly, and it was a clean store. Really pleasant experience. Will definitely be back! And am looking forward to trying their other location downtown Phoenix! read more

I love this bread but since they got rid of the in house slicer and depend on slicing the bread outside of the store - TRANSPORTING it in a vehicle with no temperature control - and then bringing it back to sell, I am having an issue with keeping my bread from molding. Usually it takes us 5-7 days to eat and it's never been a problem till this summer. Several loaves are moldy just 3-4 days after purchase. It's problematic. The solution of the little moisture control packets they put inside don't seem to solve the issue. They have replaced the loaf when I've brought it in. but I'm hoping to find a better solution. Until then. I will simply only buy unsliced bread moving forward. read more

Came in before they closed because I wanted a great cookie for the ice cream sandwich I was craving. Was helped by a nice employee who also lived in the ATL before. Anywho, I bought 2 cookies, he suggested I buy the last 3 left but I only bought two. Now I wished I had followed his advice lol. The cookie had the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I went to Bashas and bought some ice cream to make a sandwich. It was tre magnifique! I don't do dessert often but when I do.... anyways love this place. Never a bad experience. I wish they would go back on the too good to go app. read more

Amazing homemade bread and pastries! I enjoyed a delectable cinnamon roll that was absolutely delicious and has me wanting to try more. The restaurant was warm inside but I took my pastry to go. It's very cute and welcoming and I hope to go back when it's a cooler here in Phoenix! Service was great and quick and the prices were very reasonable and fair. read more

Dropped by because I started the sourdough trend and did not realize could not bake right away. I had a family dinner party and had to bring I no fresh baked bread with minimal ingredients. Decided to stop by was not disappointed. There used to be saw a glorious pan eu chocolate.. I how I adore the buttery golden flaky layers, with that almond and hazelnut scent, dark roasted cocoa and that gaze that is softer that gianduja cream, molten, bittersweet chocolate... I will certainly be back and can't wait to try the almond and strawberry cheesecake croissant! They also have a 30 day sourdough starter available with John quality organic flours and once I perfect my baked skills with my current sourdough starter will definitely come back to purchase the proof sourdough starter! read more

So good! It tastes as amazing as it looks. Bought a loaf of bread & a slice of their sourdough pizza. Both were the best I've ever had. Will be returning! read more

Wifey is mostly gluten free and only uses sourdough bread so I get sent to pick some up for her, usually on Sunday mornings over off Litchfield and Indian School. Not too terrible of a task as they also make bomb pastries as well and I ALWAYS make sure to get me some! So that said not only are their products great the people there are awesome and just as sweet as the pastries! Go get some!! read more

This is an amazing local bakery. We pre-ordered for Mother's Day. This bakery offers very tasty croissants filled with both savory and sweet. They also have bread, flours, and coffees. We visited the location at 32d street and Shea. Service was quick and friendly. SHOP LOCAL! read more

Proof Bread - Front counter - Bakeries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The proof is in the bread. My brother is currently obsessed with all things baking, so visiting Proof while in Phoenix was a no-brainer. This sourdough bakery crafts gluten goodies on the daily. We arrived mid-day and Proof still had a variety of items available in the showcase: croissants, loafs, chunky cookies, and several pizzas. I grabbed a margarita pizza to-go and a iced vanilla latte with oat milk. The pizza was thicc, chewie, and topped with the juiciest tomatoes. Sourdough pizza is different than anything I've ever tasted and I can officially say I'm a fan. The latte was also tasty and packed the perfect caffeinated umph to the second half of my day. Proof sells a variety of non-baked items, including trendy mugs, almond butter, jam, vinegar, honey, coffee beans, etc. The perfect spot for a unique gift for your artisanal-loving-buddy. read more

How have I not reviewed this bakery yet? First time I was lucky enough to try was at a farmers market a few years back and I've been hooked since. The bread is obviously great but the pastries are what steal my heart. The Boston cream croissant?! I mean cmon. It's amazing all around. Staff are so welcoming and friendly too. read more

Nice ambiance, the man working behind the counter was friendly, and there was still a nice selection at 1:35 before they were about to close at 2. I like that they had some specialty items that they don't usually have at their farmers market setups. read more

Proof Bread, what a treat. I've tried them before but haven't visited any of their bakeries until now. They are a featured business on TooGoodToGo, an app dedicated to reducing food waste. Be aware: their bags go fast. I was lucky enough to reserve one yesterday so I could pick it up today from 2-230, after they close. I arrived a few minutes early and went to the side window as instructed. Even though I was early, the employee was helpful and picked out a bag for me. I got home and saw it was a chocolate croissant and a chocolate & fruit loaf, score. I really enjoyed the loaf; it was filled with chocolate and fruit bits and it was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Perfect texture. The croissant was good as well, evenly distributed filling. I look forward to coming back and trying their other goods! Glad to support a local business. read more

Always delicious, always fresh, always something new in the shop. Today I went to go pick up my online order and saw this yummy slice of pizza staring at me. So, I grabbed it, and then saw they had some Rye flour, and grabbed that as well. I like being able to order online and pick up in store so I can get what I want without worry it will sell out. And everything sells out, it's that good. I haven't tried anything I didn't like. It's so hard to find good, crusty bread, but, this place gets it right every time. Nd I am in love with their fruit & nut bread which is packed full of ingredients. They always have a pre order for the holidays as well. Think about them for your next holiday... (Thanksgiving pre-order is closed). read more

I love this place !! The 2-3 times I've been in it's always clean and has a smiling welcoming person behind the counter which is exactly what you want at 7 in the morning haha ! For my order I had a morning bun , chocolate croissant and 2 chocolate chip cookies . The morning bun I've never had and WOW . It's as if a Cinnabon and a light flaky just right crisp croissant made a baby ($6) AMAZING. Best $6 you'll spend ! The chocolate chip cookie is a masterpiece soft , with a crisp good chocolate chunks and just soft enough ! One of my favorite in the valley if not the best one ! ($4) The chocolate croissant is amazing they know how to do bread obviously and it shows . The croissant is so airy and just enough chocolate to make it absolutely delicious ( $7) My total for all 4 items was $20! ( for baked goods and of this quality I'll pay it every time ! read more

Sooo good! Grew up getting bread at this bakery :)). Prices have increased a lot which is def unfortunate and makes it harder to shop here, so now breads are up to $10-$12. Still got the Jalapeno and Cheddar Sourdough recently (and sliced on my professional bread slicer lol) which was sooo good and the Fruit and Nut Boule bread which is cool too. Breads definitely taste best fresh so have them right away if possible! Super cool bakery :). read more

The best sourdough in town. Everything at the store made with sourdough - cookies, croissants, muffins.

I'm so pleased to have found this gem of a bakery. We've been twice now, each time was perfection! I tried a slice of the veggie pesto pizza- it was divine! Today we had a pumpkin curd croissant square that was outstanding. We also got lattes and loved they were serving press coffee. Will return for a boule next weekend! The interior is spotless clean and has a cute little play area for kids as well as places to sit and enjoy your treats. Service was very attentive and friendly. I love that they use local vendors for ingredients, no seed oils, and sourdough starter. We will return again and again. read more

Sourdough for 10$ tasted more like rye. True sourdough only has three ingredients Wont buy again

What a delightful experience. I picked up a large order of bread and included many varieties. They were all amazing! While I was there, I enjoyed a latte and a lemon curd danish (lemon curd made by Proof). The service was great. Fun place to visit--bring your kids! read more

I stopped to get some of their chocolate chip cookies based on another review and they were absolutely delicious. So perfect mix of sweet and salty. Ended up getting some of their sour dough sliced bread and the walnut cranberry bread. Both so good. Definitely stop in, it will become a permanent stop for you if you're in the area. read more

I'm so happy the Proof has finally opened on our corner! How long do you think it will take for my husband to realize that all Proof baguettes don't automatically come with the ends torn off? I'm at my most Italian when I'm digging into that bag on the drive home. The sourdough loaves and baguettes are perfect - crunchy on the outside, deliciously smooshably on the inside. My favorite is the rosemary loaves, but we probably won't see them till the fall I'm guessing. We also love the seeded loaves. Unfortunately the vegan options are currently limited - none of the sweets, etc. can collect my money. But maybe they'll expand options with the new location! And to be honest, I'm happy with a fresh baguette. The staff are beyond friendly and I'm glad that they chose to move into the Sheaborhood! read more

Proof Bread - Baguette - Bakeries Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Proof bread might not be as popular as Noble Bread but let me tell you, it is a much sexier choice . The Proof is in the pudding. Proof uses the highest quality ingredients, everything made is sourdough based. I've been hooked ever since I've laid my eyes on a loaf of sourdough with a creative design seared on the side of it at the Uptown Farmers market. Love at first sight. It's so cool Proof opened up a location in the Sheaborhood (32nd at and Shea). Press Roastery on one corner, Proof on the other- all the essentials are covered at this intersection. I arrived near close, around 1:30pm on a Friday. The selection of breads and pastries looked a little anemic but I could not say no to a twice based chocolate peanut butter croissant. One of the best I've had. read more

Price is a little on the higher side but you can find them on too good to go so that's a more affordable option. I recently tried the almond croissant which was amazing. I also love their sourdoughs. Their danishes are also good. Service was friendly. Definitely one of my favorite bakeries in the Valley. read more

Stopped by hoping to grab rolls for sandwiches, but they only had one type packaged which were too small for what I needed. I did grab a baguette instead, which was tasty, and one of the tiramisu croissants they had on display. It was HUGE!, enough to share, though I didn't. Instead I took 2 days to eat it. It was delicious. read more

Blah blah blah, bread etc. I'm here for the pizza. It's lunchtime and you're in the Sheaborhood? Grab a pizza deal here. They've got the most amazing pizza with a thick, chewy, delicious sourdough base. It's a Roman-style pizza, so look it up because this is not your NY thin crust. A giant slice, a cookie, and a drink gets you very full and out the door in no time. My favorite slice is the veggie, despite the fact that I'm a full-fledged carnivore. Spicy pesto artichoke is also amazing, while my husband is the number one fan of their cupped pepperoni slices. One day I will try the margherita slice because that too looks excellent. See ya on your lunch hour. read more

Hidden gem in the PV area. Everything they make is fantastic from the bread to the pizza. The English muffins are a favorite in our house.
