Good Bread, so-so sandwiches... they have a great number of verities that you can taste test everyday.
Stick to the bread, it's well thought out and tasty :-)
We use the 9-grain and the honey whole wheat at home and it always delivers. We got a special order of garlic cheesy bread for a dinner party and it was "over the top" great!
House of Bread has some really great bread and rolls. My roommates used to pick up a loaf of bread every Thursday during farmer's market and it would be gone by the next day. That says a lot because the bread is pretty big and dense, but it was so good that it was all gone in a day or two.
I haven't tried their meats or cheeses, but you can't go wrong with their loaves of sweet bread in quite a few different fruit/nut mix-ins.
Cute little bakery with the biggest ovens in the world on the back wall.
Long story short- the cinnamon rolls are awesome!
Then we bought some jalapeno-cheese bread and olive oil dipping sauce for the beach later--Yum!
Have been an on-again off-again customer since they first opened on Higuera Street. Got a coupon in the newspaper with a photo of one of their very good cinnamon rolls on it and saying that they were giving one away as a part of their Grand Opening at the new location on Marsh Street.
Walked in on Saturday morning to find that the "cinnamon roll" was a slight strip of cinnamon pastry. Greatly disappointed at the false advertising but got a cup on so-so coffee and a loaf of Grandma's White Bread that we find tasty.
The following day, I finally opened the previous Thursday's "New Times" and saw a photo ad of a delicious-looking cinnamon roll that they were [not] going to be giving away.
Bogus ads in both the daily Tribune and weekly New Times do not endear me to a merchant. I wondered how they were going to make all the cinnamon rolls I suspected they'd be giving away.
Now I know. They weren't. And adding a disclaimer to this site (probably after the fact) does not negate the false ads in the newspapers.
I'm disappointed. Shame on House of Bread. You can and should do better. I was really looking forward to a tasty cinnamon roll with my coffee on Saturday morning.
I really wasn't expecting House of Bread to be all that good...just another mediocre bakery trying to be cool, right?
Wrong.
The employees were nice and helpful. The bread I sampled at 6:30 P.M. still tasted great. And the cinnamon rolls...
Oh, wow, let me tell you about the cinnamon rolls...
They were seriously SOME OF THE BEST cinnamon rolls I'd had in years...no joke! Lots of frosting, a sweet coating, no dry bread-like texture - just a delicious and indulgent roll. I will be back to buy more of their cinnamon rolls!
Check this place out if you're in SLO!
Yummy!!!!
Great, fresh baked breads...what can be better for us carb-aholics??
We got some garden bread (which was sooooo soft and tasty) and a poppyseed loaf which tasted like it had some orange zest in it with a powdered sugar icing....i ate the majority of it on the way home! Uggh, I felt that bread moving to my booty, cuz when I woke up the next morning, my booty was incredibly doughy!!! Worth it though!
Good gravy, this is good carb-age. Everything I get here is great, from the cinnamon rolls to the cheese/jalapeno bread to the pumpkin bread and other seasonal specials... even the day-old items! It's great to take a seat inside (it's a little small in there) and have a drink while eating your goods. The prices are great, and the people are wonderful. Not only do they give samples of their baked goods, but they also donate all the time to the college and other local causes. These are good peoples :)
House of Bread still serves my favorite cinnamon rolls with raisins and nuts. The baked goods are quality. The blueberry muffins and white chocolate/nut scones must be packed with butter. They make my mouth water! There is friendly service, which helps in me deciding just how much stuff I should buy to bring back to the city. I miss the cheese bread. I think they should open a bakery up here in SF AND be walking distance from my house.
Raspberry pinwheels with glaze. It's like a cinnamon bun but with raspberry. Healthier, right? Soooo good. Grab bread for your dinner (such as, the basil parm) and have them stick in extra pinwheels for breakfast.
The bakery really is is the back - these people get in to work at 5am or something crazy like that! Fresh, yummy breads every day! Hooray!
A delicious selection of 4-5 everyday breads as well as another 5 or so that are daily specials. They use 100% organic oats and the only sweetener is honey. Most selections are available in a 1 pound round or 2 pound loaf. The 2-pounders are usually about $4, which is more than I would normally spend but I'm craving it now and can't wait until my next trip home to pick up the Honey Whole Wheat.
They also make fresh sandwiches, but beware that the only meat option is carved turkey. I highly suggest the Pesto sandwich on focaccia.
A little expensive -- but the service great, they're generous with the samples, and it smells like heaven when you walk in the door.
The most laid-back, friendly staff I've ever known. I walked in there on a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day and the staffer offered me a cinnamon roll on the "House" to cheer me up. It worked.
They do great Challa bread and have a daily menu so you know whats fresh.
At House of Bread you can't go wrong!
I find myself drifting into this place on occasion when I randomly stroll downtown, following my nose to the magical aroma in the air.
Favorites include the cinnamon rolls and raspberry swirl bread... of course the Italian seasoned breads and one with cheese melted on it-- can't remember what it's called. If I was a local and had more time and money, this would definitely be a weekly stop for my bread supply. Why settle for less? Alas, this isn't possible, so House of Bread is usually just a treat for me.
The cinnamon rolls are sinfully good, and the loaves are divine!
I come here for their samples and for the half-price, day-old loaves, which still taste as though they were baked that morning. They have daily specials for breads, which are equally delicious, but my favorite is the basil parmesan. They also make sandwiches on their homemade breads, which look mouthwatering, but I've never had one before.
Their staff is always nice and cheerful, are knowledgable since they are the ones baking the bread, and they are always willing to share samples. Yes!
One of the best parts about San Luis downtown is picking up some great
bread. Yes the loaves are about $3.50 to $4. I'll be back at Xmas time :)
Tasty bread! Went here in the morning today and stopped by to pick up some bread and pastries.The staff is really sweet and helpful, and always ask if you would like a sample of one of their daily breads. The best bread is Garlic Cheddar hands down.... (:
4 stars for the bread. 2 Stars for the deli. The meat and bread slices are just too thick and the condiments are lacking. I couldn't find a salt or mustard packet. The red onion was also sliced thick and getting a mouthful of raw onion is not a good thing. The ingredients are obviously high quality but they need to work on how they put the sandwiches together. I know it seems trivial, but there's a reason why delis don't normally do it this way. Please start slicing thin!
wowa, this bread is delicious! we purchased their parmesan bread, and it was a lovely compliment to some ricotta i made that evening.
a fun stop on a shopping day downtown.. we recently received a b1g1f coupon for a sandwich there, so will definitely go back soon to check that out!
Love their breads. Fresh and tasty. You got to try their cranberry bran muffins also. Their brownies are ok. I always stop by whenever I'm in town.
House of Bread is so freakn fabulous!!! You must always get a sample and try something new. The raspberry and lemon bread are great for the sweet tooth. The wheat and grandma's white bread are great for every bread! And they have fabulous sandwich's for lunch time!
