Artisan Bakery Cafe — Restaurant in Medford

Great place for a bear claw or lunch time sandwich. Large selection of items. The business is large enough that they usually do not quickly sell out of favorite items.

I consider this one of the two best bakeries in the Rogue Valley.

Artisan Bakery is a great choice for a great pastry or when you want to impress friends or co workers.

Edit: Based on a Turkey sandwich yesterday, I am downgrading my review to change words like “great” and “impress” above to “pretty good”. The reason for my downgrade is that what I refer to as “turkey jello” was used in my Turkey sandwich. This is the cheap processed deli Turkey you find in the grocery store where Turkey parts are bound together with gelatin. The better quality Turkey is an identifiable Turkey part, like sliced Turkey breast. The best is an actual roast Turkey hand cut for a sandwich.

Artisan Bakery has great people and pretty good food. I continue to recommend it to everyone. But…you cannot serve Turkey “jello” in a sandwich and retain a “best of the Rogue Valley” rating. Still a 5...

Ok so this was absolutely horrible. I ordered 2 jalapeño bagel sandwiches and a decaf coffee and I'm not kidding you it took 20 mins to get my coffee and 40 mins to get a dam bagel sandwich! I ordered at 8:15 and didn't get my sandwich till 8:52 what a freakin joke AND it wasn't even what I ordered. It was supposed to be egg, tomato and cream cheese on a jalapeño bagel but Instead they put it on a wheat bagel and just put slices of jalapeño on it and didn't even tell me about it. Didn't say Oh hey we ran out of the jalapeño bagel do you still want it......seriously....and no joke 20 mins for a coffee that was filled barely half way..I had to ask 3 times about my coffee..how could it possibly take 45 mins for a coffee and 2 bagel...

Underwhelming exterior... but who cares??? Outstanding, awesome and delectable inside!! Since I moved to the area, I've been sampling bakeries, one at a time, almost despairing, until my search took me to Artisan. I had either arrived in heaven or I had found my heavenly treats here on earth. Bought several different pastries, including a filled beignet (move over New Orleans), a blueberry- cheese danish and a blueberry scone. Each was divine-do you sense the theme here? Even the baker who helped me twinkled:). Waiting for my blood sugar to settle down so that I can return...I left so many dazzling...
