"Helmed by brothers Clinton and Louie Prager, this standout bakery produces its artisan bread at this Carlsbad hub, distributing its baked goods to outposts in Encinitas and Hillcrest as well as farmers’ markets and grocery stores in the area. While their country and multigrain loaves are available daily, other specialties like bauernbrot and raisin walnut can be found on certain days. The Carlsbad location is the only place where customers can place online orders, which requires a three-day notice. Last year, they also started serving pizzas to be enjoyed in the outdoor seating area." - Candice Woo, Helen I. Hwang, Eater Staff

"Brothers Clinton and Louie Prager are the minds behind this bakery specializing in hand-formed artisan breads using fresh milled grains. Grab a loaf or two at one of three locations in the county — Encinitas, Carlsbad, or Hillcrest. Also, be on the lookout for items like a fruit galette with seasonal produce." - Helen I. Hwang

Prager Brothers is always delicious and if you wanna get out of the hustle it’s such a great chill place for lunch. They have amazing pizzas and sandwiches and all kinds of other goodies. You can sit outside and enjoy views of the surrounding hills. They even have live music some days. The staff is always friendly and—honestly so are the other patrons. Good vibes 😎😎🥰🥰 I highly recommend this place.

Prager Brothers is an unexpected delight for this light industrial complex. The honey vanilla coffee cake is excellent! The staff was helpful in making the choice between all of their delicious options. The prices are very reasonable. They have a wide variety of baked goods. The parking is a bit slim directly in front of the bakery, but overall, there is plenty of parking around the area and on the street nearby by. This whole area is pretty quiet, it's a great place to grab a snack and a drink from any of the surrounding businesses. Some days there is local musicians performing at the joining businesses as well. If you look through the windows inside you get to see the bakers work their magic. There is seating indoors and out. Great place to visit all tear around.

Absolutely amazing bread and pastries! I recently discovered this place and have been going there every few days ever since. The staff is really nice too! Perfect place to have coffee and freshly baked pastries to start your day. Trust me! You won't regret it!

Delicious fresh made assorted pastries. They also have great, fresh sandwiches for a quick lunch, along with their Prager Bros pizza shop next door. The staff is super friendly and fast. Often have live music on weekend mornings. 10/10 love Prager Bros!

FOOD Miche sourdough - not sour at all. Poor bread construction (loaf is dense, not airy, dry, lacks flavor). Extremely disappointed as I went out of my way to come to this local bakery. Morning bun - nicely done, impressive lamination, not overly sweet, perfectly done cinnamon bun crossover w croissant. ATMOSPHERE I did NOT feel welcome here, but the location would be perfect place to meet up w a friend or colleague for lunch, as interaction would be more focused within your group. Good sandwiches and both indoor and outdoor seating. Please turn down the music indoors! SUMMARY I wouldn't go out of my way to come here again, but it is a pleasant quiet place (in the afternoon, after lunch rush) in a light industrial shopping plaza. I would come back if the owner changed the sourdough bread process.

Prager Brothers Artisan Breads is an absolute gem in the world of baked goods. The team here is exceptional, always welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable about their craft. Their bread formula is nothing short of perfection—every loaf is a testament to their dedication to quality and tradition. What truly sets Prager Brothers apart is their pizza. It's beyond expectations, with a crust that's the ideal balance of crispy and chewy, and toppings that are fresh and flavorful. Whether you're a bread aficionado or a pizza lover, this place is a must-visit. Don't miss out on experiencing their artisanal creations!

Something has drastically changed at Prager Bros. The quality is not what it was. Has ownership changed or new bakers? We were buying Raisin/ Walnut bread every Sunday but the last few weeks it has been burnt and didn’t taste fresh at all. Sad to see because we loved going there.
