14 Best Bakeries in San Jose and the South Bay Area | Eater SF

"Born out of a three Michelin-starred kitchen, Manresa’s bread is the real deal. To this day, the team employs the same natural yeast starter that was used back at Manresa restaurant, and they incorporate local and organic fresh-milled flours and grains into their products. Today, Manresa has five locations in the South Bay Area, with the Los Gatos, Campbell, and Palo Alto outposts offering an all-day café menu in addition to bread and pastries. The levain bread is a must-try, while the kouign amann is the most popular pastry on the menu, as it honors the age-old Breton technique." - Cathy Park
