Bonjour, Boulangerie !
Great bakery in Palm Spring even in California. Baguette is outstanding, and Epi baguette is just fun to eat. Classic SoCal organic sourdough is just so American or what should I say so California. Compare to the Canadian flour, both moist with great texture, just as good as top notch Canadian flour, which we proud of!
Store located at the corner plaza, plenty of parking just behind the store. Quite a drive from LA and they only open Thursday and Saturday. Better to visit on Saturday as you can also tag the farmers market as well on the day trip.
Once you enter the store, you can smell of the yeast and flours we got there around 10:30am but imagine if you get there when they just put them in the shelf, hummm! I could eat whole baguette right there.
If there is one thing I would suggest to relocate is the coffee stand near the door. It feels out of the place compared to the other well...
Read moreWe are visiting Palm Springs and were looking for a loaf of sourdough to get us through Christmas. We're plant-based, so, can't have dairy or eggs. Lo and behold, we found Mark's place. He was tending shop while his wife and mom were in back. What an absolute pleasure to meet him!

Everything we had was absolutely delicious. We basically made a meal out of the cornbread. The sandwich sourdough is amazing - not too sour, fantastic crust and crumb. The blueberry muffin lasted a New York minute, it was fantastic. Same with the cookie. Wow. We wish we could leave 10 stars. Couldn't ask for a better bakery, much less a better baker. Thank you, Mark! We will be back! (we would've attached photos, but um,...
Read moreMy husband and I learned about Bread and Flours from a Desert Sun article this week so we drove 25 minutes to North Palm Springs today to try their sourdough breads. Wow Wow Wow! The So. Cal. Sourdough and banana bread, both made with sourdough and whole-wheat flours, were scrumptious! The So. Cal. has a very crunchy crust and is soft and delicious on the inside. The banana bread is savory with interesting spices such as allspice, cinnamon and ginger and it is moist and chewy. We met the Gavigan family who were so nice and informative. The store is easily accessible with ample parking and only requires a simple turn at a traffic light off of N. Palm Canyon. Needless to say, this will be our first of many trips to...
