This charming bakery, brimming with a Parisian vibe, serves up delicious artisanal breads, pastries, and brunch fare in a cozy setting.
"Pastries, sandwiches, and other bready delights are the order of the day at Bob Oswaks’s Ballard outpost of Bob’s Well Bread. This Ballard standalone has proven to be a hit with wine country visitors, so don’t be surprised to find some weekend lines — and Oswaks himself working the counter." - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
"Visitors stay at the Skyview and start their morning with fresh pastries from longtime foodie favorite Bob's Well Bread."
"If you’re staying overnight in Los Alamos, the next morning should begin at Bob’s. This order-at-the-counter cafe/bakery is housed in a converted old-timey gas station and famous for two things—hangover-curing pastries and hangover-inducing lines on the weekend. Our advice: Get there before 9:30am. You’ll not only beat the rush, but you’ll also get first picks from the baked goods case (the crunchy kouign-amann and gooey almond croissant are musts.) If you want something heftier, go for the gravlax platter or the breakfast sandwich with turkey sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese on a housemade English muffin. " - brant cox

"If you've ever dreamed of fleeing the big city for country living, Bob and Jane Oswaks' lifestyle will be major #goals. The Hollywood exec (Bob) left the bright lights to become a beacon of small batch baking in Los Alamos and never looked back. Our bellies are all the better for it. If you're missing a proper Paris baguette , this is definitely a place you'll want to stop. Grab a boule to go with your wine country picnic, or better yet, sit on the patio and enjoy pastries, tartines, and sandwiches. You really can't order wrong." - Maxwell Williams, Krista Simmons
