I always forget about this place until I drive-by and I'm so glad I did today. We don't live far so I just need to make more of an effort because their breads and baked goods are so delicious. I went in for sourdough bread and it's very reasonably priced. I stopped and saw they had Danish type pastries so I picked up a cherry pastry and apple turnover. Both of course were divine. I did hover around the pies but they we're out of the small individual size fruit pies for my father-in-law for Father's Day. But their rolls, scones, cinnamon rolls, muffins and quite literally everything in that shop is so good (I've tried them all) and priced very reasonably. It's an open concept so you can watch them hand make everything in the store through the ovens which just gives the extra element of "made with love". Only downfall every time is they do not usually have a designated cash register person. Their all hands on deck baking and when they see you at the register it's like you gotta beg one to stop and help you. Their not rude or anything, just very?? Maybe overworked? Understaffed? I don't know, but I also like their rewards system.

Found this spot driving by. When you come in smells delicious. We browsed around and bought a few items. I had to eat the pumpkin cake right away and it was delicious. We took home some granola and jalapeño cheese bread. It was such a hit at home that it didn’t last long. You can place an order for pickup or have it delivered. They have a variety of breads,cookies, cakes and sandwiches. So if you’re in the area swing by.

Whole wheat croissants were scrumptious along with the pumpkin bread. The wholesomeness and freshness stand out. And my oh my it smells so good inside the store. 😋

The bread is great! The problem I continue running into is that the paper labels they use touch the bread directly and those areas ALWAYS get moldy the quickest. If they switched to sticker labels NOT touching the bread, but on the outer package, I'd come back again as my sole bread place. But I can't continue buying contaminated bread. . .

Whole Grain Bread in Mesa has an awesome vibe inside—very clean, warm, and welcoming. The bread looked absolutely delicious, and the staff was kind, helpful, and super friendly. I’ll definitely come back for more great local goods and baked treats.
