Franco American Bakery — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

Saw that they made marble rye so I called in to order two loaves. I was asked if I wanted the 2 pound loaf or The square. I ordered the 2 pound. Not only are they not 2 pounds or even close to 2 pounds it’s just not good. I called The bakery and was promised I would get a callback about the issue. Guess what nobody ever called !! The fact that a restaurant would specifically order this bread from them is beyond me because it doesn’t taste like anything more than average white bread With a little bit of brown coloring and three caraway seeds. Place is an absolute joke. They should probably stick to sourdough and not venture into things that they have...

They have this Wheat Sourdough that is shamefully good. I mean really? Wheat sourdough? I first sampled this at Don Taylor's Omlette Express and wanted to take some home. Well the nice staff let me know that I could have a whole loaf for a quarter of the price if I was willing to walk a couple of blocks.

This is where I found a grand bakery, a tucked away gem of sweetness and light AND they keep regular folks hours. I'm just saying that I wish I could give them another star just for that fact alone. No struggling to wake up at 5 am to get that piping hot loaf. 8:30 baby.

Do yourself a favor and...

As a wholesale customer- this is an incredibly unreliable company. Deliveries were often, wrong and or late. The last straw was them “forgetting to bake my order and then last minute trying to fix it.” I showed up to rocks in the kitchen, instead of potato buns. Expensive. Rude owner.

Check out the photo of yesterday’s properly cooked bun vs what they were trying to give me today.

Don’t even think about the dried out hotdog buns either.

Chefs- Avoid...
