Bobby Boy Bakeshop | This beloved bakery offers a wide range of sourdough bread options made with locally milled flour. Try the Spelt Wheat Sourdough with sesame made with whole grain spelt, hard red wheat, and natural sesame.

Camino Bakery | Locals swear by this bakery and coffee shop’s sourdough bread. A crowd’s favorite is the Seedy Levain made with non-GMO flours — white, whole wheat, and whole rye — with toasted sunflower seeds and flax seeds.

Copain Bakery | This newly opened spot is part of City Editor Kellina’s daily routine. The pain au levain, AKA sourdough bread, is made from a 30-year-old natural starter and is a crowd-pleaser.
