Village Bakery — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

I have been going to village bakery since I was a child, I have seen them go from a local sebastapool bakery to a gentrified chain in live time as they continue to cater to the richer implant community in Sonoma county.

Hello , Hats off to you for your continued service through this difficult period .I am very pleased that you are transitioning to a DIVERSE area .
