Desert Bread — Restaurant in Nevada

Desert Bread is life! I've been a fan of Brett and Brendon's pastries for a while now. I first discovered them last year when they were doing local farmers markets, then a short stint at PublicUs, and now they're selling their wares right in front of their home twice a week. On Thursdays and Saturdays you can choose from a plethora of carbs: croissants, scones, epi pretzels, vegan sourdough, chocolate chunk cookies, quiches, sticky buns, muffins, even fresh lemon curd if it's in season. Using locally-sourced ingredients and 100% solar-powered, Desert Bread is a local gem of a business and the guys are so friendly, too. Follow them on Instagram to see what's on the ever-changing menu; some items are always available, but again, others change based on what's seasonal. I went today on my lunch break and got a couple of beignets that were offered this week in honor of Mardi Gras, a couple of chocolate chunk cookies, a sticky bun, and the epi pretzels. No, I'm not eating it all, but am sharing with the family. I can attest that the croissants, cookies, and epi pretzels are delectable because that's what I've tasted so far. The epi pretzels come with obatzda, a cheese mixture of Camembert, goat cheese, cream cheese, and chives--yum! Hours are Thursdays from 11am-4pm and Saturdays are 9am-1pm, but consult their Instagram for the most up-to-date info...

Bread and goodies handmade by some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. From my first experience of a farmers market purchase, I was hesitant about a $10 loaf of bread - even though it does weigh about two pounds - but once I went home and tore into it I've never turned back.

I'm from the nice humid South, where - unlike here - baked goods don't go stale in the time it takes to cut a piece and get the bite to your mouth. I've never been satisfied by most bread and baked goods in the Vegas Valley, even from the bakeries with the best reputations. These products are different. Desert Bread bread has magnificent flavor - tangy sourdough, yesss... And, it's soft and chewy on the inside, with a crisp crust that is somehow but not hard enough to cut the roof of your month like many. It toasts up perfectly, and freezes well (the loaves are so large there's no way I could make it through an entire loaf in a week on my own, so just toss half in a plastic bag, remove air, and throw in the freezer - thaw on counter).

Today I tried their pretzels and obatzda (mixed soft cheese dip). Amazing. The pretzel (breadzel) was fantastic fresh or toasted, perfect texture, and I could die happy drowning in the cheese dip. It's going to be hard returning to my healthy vegetable soup after this... So good it prompted me to write a Yelp review for the first...

oh man these guys are excellent!... I'm a big fan of baked goods especially homemade, everything I tried was wonderful, and you can really taste the care and dedication taken, in every bite! that everything croissant stuffed with cream cheese was one of the best croissants I've ever had, the Ham And cheese croissant was beautiful and excellent tasting, I also thought The Cookie was excellent, and getting it from a pop-up bakery I almost feel like it is an exclusive item you just can't go into the store and buy.... worth the price ,worth the wait... you really need to go check this place out. open Wednesday and Saturday , get there early because there's...
