As a Livermore enthusiast, I've admired Wingen from afar but hadn't been in. Even though we live in Oakland, The Vine Cinema in Livermore is our go-to movie spot. This time, we had some time to kill and we knew this was our chance to try the Wingen magic we had heard so much about. It did not disappoint. Our only slight nit was the interior temperature on this hot day was a little warm for our taste but we were determined to try the heralded Wingen pizza. The first thing that hit us was how incredibly friendly everyone was. Not just the host or our server...everyone. There was just such a positive vibe emanating from the place. Wingen was a bakery legendary for its bread and has branched out and expanded into a restaurant as well with beer, wine and "light alcohol" and mocktail options. We settled on a caesar salad and pepperoni pizza. I was 93% sure we'd leave hungry or order another pizza. I was 100% incorrect. When the salad arrived, I thought it was covered with bacon bits and was disappointed but as it turns out, they were heavenly --no-- otherworldly sourdough breadcrumbs and they were in my dreams when I slept that night. I would buy them if they sold them. We were honestly giddy eating the salad. The light dressing was perfect. The pizza arrived and it was a little bigger than was described. I was thrilled to see some big burned bubbles around the outside. This is true artisan pizza. We ended up taking half of it home. So good. So so good. We even grabbed some baked goods on the way out for home (we ate them in the car after the movie :-)). WIngen is one of those small family owned businesses that make downtown Livermore a special gem.

Service was friendly. Line moved vary quickly. Interior was clean and tidy. Price was a little high, $7 for a plain croissant. $14 for a sausage egg muffin. Seatings were not very comfortable. A lot of families with small kids on the day we visit. Street parking or public parking lot. Overall experience was not bad. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this cute bakery in town. We met the owner Brian and he was the sweetest! We also had the pleasure of getting Mario as our server for one of the fridays for pizza night!

Husband went to.Wingen bakery this morning to pick up a couple pastries for Mother's Day. Wasn't much left but we got a piece of coffee cake and a croissant. The coffee cake was the worst thing I have tasted coming from this bakery. It lacked any color, it was a slab of colorless cake. There was no taste no flavor and so dry... I could only take 2 tries and threw it away. So disappointed read more

The best biscuits and gravy I've had in my life! My friends had the bagel with salmon and capers, and they tried the Sausage Mc Wingen sandwich, and they were equally as happy as I was! Brendan was our server, and he hit the ball out of the park with us today! The atmosphere was extremely friendly, and the food was delicious. Being an avid motorcycle rider for most of my life, I would love to know the backstory of the two vintage Hondas up on the shelf? read more

I just love this first time visit to this gem. We don't live in the area but met my son and his wife in Livermore to go here for the first time. A+ for the pizza and service was fantastic. We also got a bottle of Vine Farm Ridge which they said was organic and grown locally in Livermore and it did not disappoint and was exceptional! Don't forget to get the olives beforehand for an added touch. I will be back. read more

Wingen is a great example of perfection through simplicity: the ingredients list is simple and straightforward, but the attention to detail and quality. From the coffee roast to the bagel seasoning everything is perfectly balanced and hits the spot in a special way. I wish I was local so I could make Wingen part of my weekly routine. read more

We've been fans of Wingen for awhile and were thrilled to hear that they were starting dinner service. Finally had a chance to try it out tonight and all I can say is WOW. Everything was on point-- food, service, vibe. Love these guys and everything they do. read more

Welcomed the newly expanded Wingen Bakery/restaurant with friend. Staff were welcoming & service was excellent!. We both had the turkey avacado sub with tea. Delicious & enough to have other half next day. Dessert: fresh pastry with chocolate in it! What's not to love & it was absolutely perfection! On our way out, bought fresh sourdough french bread to take home. We'll be back for more food! It was after the noon rush. The acoustics desperatly need refinement, as we couldn't hear each other across the table w/o repeating & same problem with our excellent waiter. I hope they can solve that problem to make it a perfect dining experience. Upon leaving, noticed some tables outside on northside of building. Perhaps it's not so noisy there. read more

Wingen Bakery - Turkey avacado Sub - Bakeries Near Me - Livermore, California

This bakery is located in downtown. There are public parking further away if you don't mind walking. The order line was very long on a Saturday morning until around 10:30am. The cafe is pretty full and sometime it's hard to find a table, especially many people like to stay for hours to work or hangout. The food and beverage are good. Many pastry items were sold out in the morning. Service is good as well. read more

Eat there frequently. always great. have never been dissapponted. There bred i outstanding, along with their pizza and pastries

Love this bakery and the story of how they got started during the pandemic is touching. Got an assortment of stuff here to try new things and support this small couple-owned business... Chicken salad sandwich - my favorite thing. The chicken is from Roli Roti and is very juicy, and it's tossed in an herbaceous aioli. Lemon poppy scone and cheddar chive scones - good flavor but not a very buttery scone and a little dry. Baguette - incredible. Only available after 11 am. Pastrami sandwich - limited time offering and perfect. Crispy, greasy rye bread; delicious pastrami; and sauerkraut Mortadella sandwich - good but nothing special about it - just a mortadella sandwich Chocolate kouign amann - amazing. Didn't think I'd like it since I'm kind of a purist at times, but this was so well caramelized and stuffed with a yummy chocolate ganache. Hope they keep this one on the menu! read more

Wingen Bakery - Pastrami sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Livermore, California

Amy's Patry Chef creativeness and unique breakfast Brunch items ate good to good- GO! The biscuits&gravy what can I say-satisfying but beyond tasty, must have liquor cooked out or calvacados. It's rich yet smooth. Pastries! Yes, from morning bun regulars to exotic and cookies and kid friendly items. Warning, sometimes line is out to sidewalk, but for awesome reasons. Good food, you my have to come back oh my later for a baguette or epi Bryan has a baker all early morning. American fare with a twist. Coffee is Four Barrel locally roasted. Tea too! Now they do well with Friday night Pizza. 8 out of a ten. They give back to our community too. Now this year opened new room next door for seating. We prefer patio seating. Covered. One take away would be a brunch sandwich you should atleast try the avacado toast with egg on their fresh bread.quality ingredients. Don't see sysco trucks and some local vendor items beside light merch as well. Some like the flour is organic. You'll have to taste to believe.the Kapsicky. I drive miles just for an olive (local) loaf sourdough Loaf too Baquettes@11 read more

Best thin crust sourdough pizza and delicious salads! You must try them. The tiramisu also to die for.

I've been coming to downtown livermore for years but have never stumbled upon this place. I read that they have a pastry chef or baker from Range Life (also a good restaurant) so we wanted to check out their pastries and breads. PARKING - There is a lot right next to the bakery, but it was closed that day for a special downtown livermore event. We still found parking at a nearby lot so no issues. ATMOSPHERE - one of the main reasons we came here was they have a little play kitchen for the kids (I have two kids). They have three areas to the bakery. The ordering area where you can see the breads and pastries on display, then the middle area with bathroom and playkitchen and mostly high table tops and then a back area where you can see the bakers at work behind glass and some larger tables. It was good for kids, we didn't have trouble finding a table on a Saturday for lunch time. FOOD - got the bagel and breakfast sandwich. BAGEL - they are supposed to be sourdough bagels so we were hoping it would be similar to Courage bagels in LA but it wasn't. Get it toasted because we didn't get it toasted and it was a little hard. My mom got hers toasted and it was a little better. Overall the bagel itself was decent. The lox and toppings were good but the bagel itself a little disappointing. BREAKFAST SANDWICH - bread was good, crusty but not too hard and the bacon crispy. Overall, I would definitely get this again but it was a little small so barely enough for 1 person. CROISSANT WHEEL (?) - I don't remember what it was called but it was like a croissant in a wheel form and more crunchy. It was very good with cream on the inside. Probably the best thing we had there. Overall, I'd come back to try other pastries and it was a great place for kids to play while we enjoy lunch/pastries. read more

This review is based on having a cheese steak that my buddy picked and had at Home Grown Hops for Cornhole tournament. Holy WOW. What not to like about their cheese steak. Your first bite you can taste the quality of everything they put in it. The bread I could eat alone all day long. Not sure what meat is used but you can tell it's no cheap meat option. But the cheese in that thing was sooooo good. had my first half and saved the other half for home. Even cold is so dang good also. Had my daughter try and she's one picky eater. She did ones of those head turns right after her first bite with her eyes lighting up. no words needed to be said after that haha. So for me I have blood pressure issues and not supposed to eat white bread. I did not care nor did I feel and spike AT ALL. Which tells me great and simple ingredients for their breads. It's nice to find another spot in Livermore that I feel is one of the City's best spot along with a really good cheese place down the street which uses their breed. Can't wait to actually go in and see other options they have! This is a must spot to try! read more

Really like the upgraded remodel! The food taste even better :) they have really good ham and cheese, croissants, and ham and cheese quiche! read more

Wingen Bakery - Ham and cheese quiche - Bakeries Near Me - Livermore, California

Have been here many times and have been consistently impressed. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive as always. Even for to go orders. Dining room remodel is going on right now (early May 2025) but they do have a bit of bar seating by the window and a few tables outside. The new Cafe section looks great; I love the glassed-in active bakery area. Now on to the food! Note: Wingen makes all baked goods in house. poppy bagel, toasted, with cream cheese: really, just wonderful. The bagel was 100% legit old school NYC. Great crust, insides are chewy but not overly dense. Lots of seeds on top. Toasted to be hot enough to melt the cream cheese a bit and have a slightly crunchy texture on the cut sides, but no further. Delicious cream cheese and a generous serving. I would put this bagel up against any competition. You would be hard-pressed to find a bagel as good as this anywhere in NorCal, outside of a few great shops we have in Oakland and SF. kougin-amann: today's was chocolate. Also wonderful! Sugary crust, gooey middle, kind of like an underdone brownie (which I love). Somehow there is something distinctly Wingen about the flavor. Maybe the yeast? Anyway, it's a terrific pastry! Based on multiple visits over the past several years - Wingen does everything the right way or not at all. I'm very happy to see them continuing to succeed and grow! read more

Everyone who works there is friendly and seems to thoroughly enjoy his/her job. This is a real distinction for the restaurant. I had been there for breakfast and wanted to try their Friday Night Pizza offering that some friends raved about. We are glad we did. The only negative is the sound. The restaurant is quite loud when at capacity, so it's hard to hear. read more

I didn't go to Wingen expecting a spiritual awakening. I just wanted some pizza and maybe a cookie or two. But what happened inside that bakery was something deeper... something sacred. First of all, let me set the record straight, I don't eat pizza crust. Never have. It's just a dry handle, a chewable reminder that the good part is over. I am a cheese-and-sauce purist. Or... I was. Then I took a bite at Wingen. It started slow... just a casual nibble on the end. And then something happened. My eyebrows raised. My ancestors whispered, "Child, you've been living a lie." That crust? Golden. Flavorful. Chewy with a little crackle on the edge like it trained in Italy but grew up in Brooklyn. I ate the entire slice. And then another. I didn't even look back. I'm a new person now. Now, let's talk desserts. I tried every single one. (Don't judge me, I was in a moment.) Every bite was like being hugged by a tiny sugar angel. Not a single miss. If I had to pick a favorite, I can't, because that's not fair to the others. The Basque Cheesecake!! WAIT! the tiramisu!! but one critique the ice cream sandwiches should be sold in a 4 pack box. And the low-fi cocktails? Chill, bright, and oddly meditative. Like a spa day for your tongue. I drank one and immediately wanted to lay in a field and reevaluate my priorities. By the time I left Wingen, I wasn't the same person. I went in craving cheese and left worshipping crust, drunk on tomato pie and emotional over the ice cream sandwich. If food can be poetry, this place is a haiku that hits you in the feelings. Don't dodge the bar seating. Eric, Mary, and Jermey at the Bar had great service and were so friendly, knew a great deal about the food and the bar program. Go. Go now. Bring friends. Or don't. More for you. read more

Wingen bakery has an excellent selection of pastries and bread along with numerous sandwiches that are a product of this work. As someone who bakes regularly I had a lot of appreciation for the loafs- very crunchy crust with beautiful ears and great crumb. The sandwich and pastry that I had were phenomenal as well! The pastry was a lemon cream puff with powdered sugar on top. The staff were super friendly, lots of open space, and I think I got my food in less than 3 minutes after I had ordered. The only thing that keeps me from coming here regularly is the high prices- it's on the expensive side for what's offered. $16-17 plus tip for lunch. With that being said I do appreciate the amount of work that is required and space read more

The space is amazing filled with community, art, and nothing is hidden of what is being made!

I've walked by this spot several times in the evening and finally had the chance to go. Yelp recommended it. I'm a sucker for smaller bakery/coffee shop vibes and this is definitely a local treat. I don't think I ordered well but that's on me. The cheese bagel was good but I should have done more with it. The vanilla latte was yummy (and kept me alert after a night of minimal sleep). A line legit starts to form right before it's 8 am open time. A LOT of families visited and they have a cute play area for the kiddos. Definitely will be back to try something different. read more

First visit to Wingen's Bakery after a year hiatus. Big mistake on our part waiting so long. Staff is super friendly. You place your order at the counter and they bring it to you. Plenty of seating inside if you get there after the rush. Menu is not large but also plenty of delicious looking bakery items displayed. My wife and I ordered 2 orders of avocado toast, decaf coffee and a hot chocolate. The avocado toast was perfectly toasted and generous avocado. Coffee & hot chocolate were served at a good temp and tasty. We will go again and recommend it highly. The bakery is young child friendly with plenty of items for kids to occupy themselves. read more

I used to come here when it was a bakery and did the occasional pizza night. Loved it back then but they've completely remodeled. It's even better now. We went for breakfast and then went back for dinner on our day trip to Livermore. Everything we had was good but special mention to the pizza. I love pizza. I seek out good pizza restaurants wherever we go.... this is really good pizza. Refreshing cocktails and a great selection of beers. Egg sandwich is still a legend. Everything is just good. Go. Lovely local business. read more

Excellent food and service. I have enjoyed everything I have ever ordered for breakfast or lunch including beverages.

I am a big fan of this bakery. I love introducing it to my friends and family when they come to visit. One of my go to things to eat is their breakfast sandwich. The egg yolk is always cooked to gooey perfection. All of the employees are very friendly, even when they are super busy. I love that there are lots of places to sit, indoor and outdoor on the patio. They even have a cute little area for kids to play. I love their fresh sourdough and all the pastries they have on display. read more

I brought a friend because I loved Wingen so much the first time. I wanted to add some pictures. We had the breakfast sandwich: amazing! Avocado toast again: divine! I ordered a chocolate chip cookie and I liked the texture and the chocolate but it was way too salty for me. We sat inside this time and I loved the artwork on the wall especially this one that I posted. The painting was done on an old window! So clever and creative. Great place again! read more

Great food and atmosphere, but I went here because of all the reviews that mentioned they have many gluten free items. They do not.

Avocado toast is good, but be warned, the crust is EXTRA CRUSTY and was toasted too much so it had a char flavor :( Once you get past the crust, the inner portion of the toast is great! Plentiful amount of avocado and olive oil. Maybe could use a pinch more salt (but I'm a lover of flaked/course salt). Menu is smaller this time compared to my previous visit, but there's still enough options; however, I can't say that about the baked goods case. Come early if you want any of those goodies. Service is good. Place is spacious and plenty of tables to get some work done. It's a little noisy inside. read more
