The best sourdough bread and their dutch crunch is equally amazing. Every time I pick up here it comes out fresh and warm and honestly sometimes it doesn't even make it home because we end up tearing into it on the drive back. No regrets. Raymond's has become a staple at our holiday parties because their sourdough pairs perfectly with clam chowder. It's just one of those combinations that feels right. And whenever we're craving sandwiches, dutch crunch from here is the only option we consider. Also worth mentioning they sell day old bread at a discount and it is still incredibly fresh and absolutely worth it for the price. Highly recommend to anyone who takes their bread seriously! read more

Our go-to sourdough place when in south city. Good selection. You can buy the bread half-baked or fully baked. Both are very good. Cash only. Plenty of parking. read more

I was around the area and the smell is always so inviting. My nose led me to this place. I bought the baguette , raisin bread and an oatmeal cookie. They also have a selection of bread in the refrigerator you can purchase, take home and bake. The place was clean. There's no shame in carbs when shared with friends. Enjoy their bread. I know I did. Baguette: delicious. It was just out of the oven and I was starving. When I got in my car I broke off a huge piece and started eating Raisin bread: had this for breakfast the next day. A little sweet for my taste but still delicious with butter. Oatmeal cookie: a little sweet for my taste but I inhaled it w my tea If you haven't tried Raymond's give it a try and enjoy! Service: good Price: comparable Parking: ample private parking read more

We live nearby, so we often buy bread from this bakery. Their sourdough is really good, especially when you buy it and eat it right away. It's super fresh, crunchy on the outside, and soft inside. Honestly, I never used to like sourdough, but this place completely changed my mind. I think it's because their sourdough isn't overly sour: the flavor is very balanced and just right. Another big plus is the price. Everything is very affordable, which makes it even better. There isn't a huge selection, but what they do have is excellent! If you're in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by. You'll probably love it too. read more

Raymond's is a favorite of mine ! The bread is always incredibly fresh and some of the most delicious sourdough. I love that you can pick up directly from the warehouse and choose from many different options, including baked goods. Sometimes the bread is still warm when you grab it, which is amazing, and they also offer a discounted section with items from the day before. There's a refrigerated section where you can take items home to bake yourself, which is a nice option. Overall, it's a great spot for high-quality bread! read more

Raymond sourdough is the place to go for fresh sourdough bread! It's a no-frills bakery with a large parking lot, people just drive in and pick up their refresh bread. You walk in and there's a little pastry shelf on the left left-hand side, fresh baked bread, straight ahead and then one day old bread to the right. Highly recommend getting the fresh baked and eating at the same day! So good. It's become a staple for us read more

11.28.2025 We were so happy to find this place open the day after Thanksgiving. It was a small store in the industrial district. I can't imagine how crazy this place was the days leading up to Thanksgiving. It was a self-serve store and pay at the counter. The loaves we grabbed were still slightly warm so we know they were freshly baked that morning. So many bread styles to choose from, but most of all they were SOURDOUGH! Hubby was happy with the round loaf, which was our snack for our 6-hour drive home. The flavor was spot on -- the sourdough tang was perfect, the outside was crunchy, and the inside was light and fluffy. This is definitely a place we will be stopping by when we're in the area again. Thank you Yelp for helping us find another treasure! read more

We were driving to a different destination when my husband remembered that there was a 'famous" sourdough bakery nearby and he had always wanted to check it out. So we navigated to find Raymond's. It's a small bakery that sells their sourdough bread in many forms - baguette, rolls, sliced, rounds etc. They also sell half baked dough that you can finish baking at home for fresh baked bread. It's also a deli - where you can get some sandwiches made with their bread. We got a baguette and a mini round to try. We tried the baguette first while still in the parking lot - the bread was crusty outside and a little chewy inside. You can definitely taste the sourdough. Not sure what I expected but I was a little disappointed by it. The baguette did not wow me - it was good but not one I would find my way to all the time! Maybe I didn't get the freshest roll but it was just ok. Cashier was nice. read more

Raymond's Sourdough is one of the best in the Bay Area. I have been buying from the outlet here for many years. I especially like to buy the half baked bread that I can finish baking at home. Their sourdough is amazing as is the Dutch crunch. Large loaves, small loaves, rolls, and baguettes...they have it all! read more

Purchased the round sourdough at Corti's Market in Sacramento. When we picked it up, it was still warm. Very good flavor. Excellent crunchiness. Well done! read more

Love the FRESH baked sourdough breads in an industrial location; it's an outlet so you basically pick up bread and go. Too bad fireplace is not lit- would make such a cozy front reception. The staff could be more receptive. read more

Raymond's sourdough bread is outstanding. Fresh, hot, and absolutely delicious, the kind of bread you can't stop tearing into on the way home. Even the kids loved it, which says a lot. The inside of the shop is gorgeous: clean, bright, and much bigger than it looks from the outside. It feels welcoming and inviting the moment you walk in. The cashier was super friendly, which made the experience even better. If you love real sourdough done right, this place is a must. read more

Raymond's Sourdough Bread - Very good and Soft sourdough - Bakeries Near Me - South San Francisco, California

The place always smells so intoxicating with the warm sourdough bread on the shelves and the bakery cooking in the back room. The bread isn't quite as good once so get home though, such it is, still good. read more

Our go to for sourdough. Fresh and easy in and out to get your bread even during holidays .

Nostalgia is a feeling of wistful longing for a time in the past, often a time or place that was personally happy. It can be triggered by smells, sounds, or tastes that remind us of good memories. The smells of freshly baked SF sourdough bread transport me to a world of deliciousness that does not exist in other cities and towns. I've lived in Utah and Ohio and I've tried their poor excuse for sourdough bread and it never gives me those feelings I experienced yesterday. This is far and away the best sourdough bread I've ever had and it brings about such vivid memories of time with my father, enjoying the crusty exterior of a sourdough loaf and pressing the slightly damp interior of the bread with my fingers to release the aroma of Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis. That insanely unique bacteria that is only present in the wet damp foggy salty air of San Francisco. The flavors are so rich and tangy that it makes me close my eyes and hop in the hot tub Time Machine for experiences of yesteryear. I love Raymond and his family and all the wonderful people who continue to make this delicious bread for us. This truly is a perfect bite of my town and nothing compares to what they offer at this bakery. read more

If you are looking for fresh baked sourdough bread made hourly, Raymond's is the spot to go. I needed some bread for cioppino and dropped by her on a Sunday morning. They offer sourdough baguettes and rounds. A giant sourdough baguette runs around $7. The sourdough was so soft and pillowing, and hot and fresh is hard to beat. They also sell half baked bread, which you can finish in the oven. If you like Dutch crunch, they sell sandwich rolls too! I hadn't been in a while but they now accept credit card payments which is convenient. If you are looking for a deal, they say day old for $, which is right by the payment counter. Definitely worth checking out especially with holiday parties coming up, fresh bread is a must. read more

Been going to the SSF store for years. whenever we pick up family at the airport we always stop by and give our visiting family a taste of this beautiful bread. We start munching on it right there in the parking lot. The ladies are always very nice. However I too have recently noticed a slight change in the crust, texture and taste of the inside. Coincidentally my cousin also mentioned that to me as well. Prefer the old taste, still delicious, but curious. Nick if you read this let us know ? read more

If you have never had Raymond's Sourdough, you haven't lived. That being said....Just go. It will become a staple in your household! The best local Delicatessens feature their bread. Think Little Lucca and Teanni's. Sub-Culture might utilize their bread also. They are in the same building... Sooooooo..........why are you still here? Go! Get some life changing bread! You'll thank me later. read more

Still the best sourdough bread around! Hot and delicious. They also have frozen baguettes, so you can buy a bag, take them home & put them in the oven whenever you want hot bread. read more

Walked in on a Saturday morning without any real expectations. I don't usually walk into bread focused bakeries that aren't like an 85, Porto's, or a Tous Les Jours (I'm so basic). Walking into a sourdough bakery nonetheless was a new experience for me. There are many different offerings of bread not just sourdough here! Dutch crunch, sweet French bread, and even a little display of pastries were all available for purchase. I picked up a loaf of Dutch crunch and was shocked to find that it was still warm! Immediately I felt like I was in heaven and ready to eat all of the carbs. My only regret was not picking up anything from the fridge to bake at home myself. And I will say the pastries were whatever. Nothing my mouth watered over after the first bite. The inside was very quiet since it wasn't busy around the time we went. There were a few people coming in and out but ultimately it was just my family inside that took the longest. Definitely a place to come by for some fresh bread if you want that homey feeling with your meal! read more

Best sourdough in the Bay Area hands down! Family has been going here since I was a bebe lol always fresh and you really can't go wrong!

Owner is rude and is demeaning to his staff. Staff was always great. Subculture deli is great.

Sourdough is good and sour - I like the 'take and bake' rolls to serve bake at home and serve hot out of the oven. On several occasions, I've tried to be friendly with the lady there and ask questions, but she doesn't smile and seems like all business. It's fine, but it would certainly make the ambiance a bit brighter if she was more friendly. Hi Nick, thanks for your comments, but this is at the 151 S Spruce location. The lady I refer to is always there, and I didn't notice any name tag. Bread is good so I appreciate the good bread! Thanks. read more

The best sourdough in the universe!! Be prepared for a bit of a long wait. Trust me, it's so worth it!

It took me years of living on the peninsula to find out about Raymond's and while it's not my favorite sourdough, I would still recommend this place. There are often fresh loaves coming out of the oven so you can get a warm loaf. The prices are amazing especially if you get the day old bread. The store was busy so they weren't adequately staffed for the volume that day but it's not a big deal for this establishment. As for the sourdough itself, the texture is soft. I would like a little more crisp on the exterior but that can be done at home with my own oven. Flavor wise, I prefer sourdough with a little more tang, but my favorite places in the Bay Area also cost 2x the price. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference for taste and texture and Raymond's is good for what it is. Easy parking with a lot outside. Cash only. read more

What kind of bakery shop that opens at 9am?!? We want fresh bread for breakfast. Breakfast time is usually before 9am for most people, right? Yes the bread at Raymond's is decent but the opening hour is absurd. There are better bakery shops to buy fresh sourdough and pastries with much friendlier staff in SSF (ie Cueno bakery) read more

Warm sourdough. Yum. You can get deals here with day old bread, but warm sourdough is available every hour. Parking is abundant. Cash only. read more

My family has been coming here for decades. There's nowhere better in the world. I hope heaven smells just like a fresh loaf of Raymond's bread. read more

Picked up a small boule at my local grocers on a Saturday morning. I don't usually go for sourdough but there weren't many options and the bread was still warm. That sold me. Lightly toasted with high-quality butter and jam - this is my new comfort food. Delicious bread with a nice crust and springy, pillowy center. read more

Fresh & yummy sourdough. The cinnamon bread is great for breakfast - toast & french toast.

I actually broke keto for their bread, and it was totally worth it! My boyfriend and I love fresh bread, and they had a Dutch Crunch baguette we just had to try. The inside is clean and spacious, and it really showcases all the freshly baked bread and carry the delicious scent well. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We'd definitely go back to try the other breads! read more

I have not been there yer but ui have had their sourdough and it's good. I grew up in San Francisco and I grew up. In a predominately Italian neighborhood and everyone bought their bread at this one bakery it was so good, they made the best breadsticks and Italian cookies right next door was an Italian deli. We would buy our bread at the bakery and fresh sliced deli meat for sandwiches next door. They had so many wonderful things imported cheese s salami , different sizes and every pasta you could think of I'm hungry now miss that place we need a good deli in the area any suggestion read more

I've been coming here for quite some time and every visit feels nostalgic. It reminds me of my childhood. The bread is consistently perfect. Go early because there's usually a line (for good reason!). I absolutely love the fresh sour baguettes. They're my favorite. Not too sour, perfectly soft inside, with that beautiful crust on the outside. It's my go to for parties and family gatherings, and it's always a hit. It's well organized and cute inside too! read more

Bread not as good as it used to be. Very soft with no hard crust. Still tastes good. Deli in the back is very good.

We didn't realize there's a sourdough bread & bakery outlet in this area until reading Yelp reviews. Was excited to try their bread so headed there. Very easy to find and has lots of parking. Upon entering the bakery a woman with glasses is stood near the door to do cashiering. We saw shelves and refrigerated items. The sourdough bread is $7 which is pricey to us. There are baguettes (both sweet and sourdough) that are $4 each and smaller. Also there are Dutch crunch loaves, round loaves of differing types even cookies in small packages. I didn't see it at first but upon leaving there is a shelf of freshly baked cookies near the doorway opposite the cashier station. (The baguette we got is on the crusty/hard side. We prefer a bit softer texture) Why I gave 3* is because like other reviewers commented on the woman cashier is very unfriendly. We don't think she's racist just very very unfriendly. I don't know if she hates her job or what. But if someone takes a job serving the public they should be approachable and be appreciative of customers who are the ones keeping the bakery in operation. and pays one's salary. I have not seen the owner address the reviews mentioning the unfriendly woman. I really do believe he needs to address this issue because she will drive away customers. Like the freshly baked cookies I would have not bought them even if I noticed them before paying because I'd be afraid I'd get a not so nice response from the clerk. read more

I buy this sourdough at a local grocery store in Napa, Ca. Let's just say Napa has some really good bread. But this sourdough is amazing. It's always warm when I pick it up it lasts my family 3 days and it's just delicious. I feel like I have found a gem in town! Thanks for bringing your breads to Browns Valley Market ! read more

Not sure how this is even a 4.5 star rating this is the best bread i have ever had and i am here to say that i will be not shopping for bread at any other place. Really top notch place, it is clean the people are super friendly and helpful. I am sold on this place for life. read more
