Rosalind Bakery

Place has class A bread. I usually go to Tartine in the city to buy bread for family gatherings but I've started going here instead. Convenient. Small lines. Always parking. Plus I forgot one of my bread bags on the counter and they actually ran it out to me in the parking lot! Wow. Really above average staff.

The best bakery for sourdough bread in Pacifica and Daly City.

I came across Rosalind 3 days ago through an article that listed Rosalind Bakery in their top 10 list in the entire Bay Area. A bakery in my backyard and I had no clue about it, this I had to investigate.

I placed an online order for their 60/40 sourdough, followed by their soup of the day, a vegan lemongrass sweet potato soup that comes with a side of, you know, what else, but some sourdough.

The order was ready within 15 minutes, and parking in the outdoor strip mall complex is plenty. I was greeted with a warm smile by Nick Gonzalez, who made the experience 5 stars.

While picking up, I started chatting with him about pizza - and yes they have pizza available with a focaccia base on weekends. Note to self - go there on a weekend to try their pizza.

Nick mentioned his favorite is the Coastside sourdough that his family loves (this is your classic sourdough loaf), and his ultimate go-to is the Rye Sesame (12% pumpernickel rye flour sourdough with toasted sesame seeds, not just outside, but on the inside as well!). I left my wallet in the car, so Nick offered me half a loaf at no cost. Who does that? So grateful I got to try it.

Both the loaves (or is it loafs) are crunchy on the outside and super soft on the inside. I asked Nick about the 'sweetness' in the description and he confirmed there is no sugar added. Any sweetness is natural. TBH I couldn't taste any sweetness.

I really like the bread. It's rich, decadent, you feel like a French royal, who was fortunate enough to get the best pain a la sourdough. This has the promise to beat Tartine. I preferred my bread toasted, with a dip of simply high quality astringent cold-pressed greek single estate olive oil. And on some bites, add a little extra sharp cheddar.

The soup was flavorful and a perfect dip for the sourdough slices that accompany it. With carrots, and a luscious emulsion of lemongrass creamy goodness (the creaminess from sweet potatoes). Spiced just right, to let the subtle flavors dance on your palette.

Rosalind checks all the boxes to become my go-to bakery. They sell out soon, so head there in the AM. And if you meet the wonderful Nick, say hello and get a taste of what every bakery should aspire to be.

Introduced to Rosalind Bakery by a café in SF that uses their sourdough bread for the sandwich and I loved it. Came to Pacifica from the city just for Rosalind and wasn't disappointed.

I got a breakfast sandwich which was a bit on the heavy side but it was very tasty, the bread was fantastic and the egg nicely cooked. Took home a ham and cheese croissant, which is delicious; and a half loaf of walnut bread, which has great texture but I do feel like it's a bit pricy at $6 for just half loaf.

Overall they've got some good bread and pastries but I don't think it's worth the trip from the city.

Everything we tried was delicious - chocolate croissant, bread, veggie sandwich of the day& egg sandwich, cookies. I loved the pimento cheese on the egg sandwich just wish I could have added some avocado or bacon! This plane is worth the drive from SF! I wish we had bought some extra cookies!

I've always loved the bread that Matt has made! The bread is really good and wholesome. It may be on the pricier side, but it's because there owner actually likes for his employees to have a reasonable wage. The food served here is also very good! The photo I included with this review its the grilled cheese with an egg. While it may look strange due to its red hue, the flavor was delicious! The mocha i also got was a really good example of a tasty mocha coffee. 10/10 will still continue to shop here and support this great local business but also still continue to recommend to other!
