Proof Bread

The bread and pastries are delicious, and the staff are super friendly. The heated ham & cheese croissant is the best I’ve ever had—it’s a bit pricey but definitely worth trying. The iced latte and mocha are also great. I rarely ate sourdough before, but now I find myself visiting this place twice a month!

Nothing says “celebrating my diet progress” quite like… undoing it entirely at Proof Bread Co’s new downtown spot. I told myself I was just swinging by for one loaf of bread. You know, casual, responsible, just a little treat. Cut to: me walking out with three loaves, four chocolate chip cookies, and a pepperoni pizza. Honestly? Zero regrets. The place itself is adorable and super convenient like the kind of spot that makes you want to “accidentally” forget your lunch just so you have an excuse to stop in. The smells hit you like a carb-loaded hug the second you walk in, and the girl at the counter was so nice she could’ve sold me a sourdough starter and told me to name it. 10/10 would sacrifice abs for bread again.

Proof's spot on Roosevelt is utterly fabulous. Stop in for one of their fresh pastries, get a tasty coffee to go with it, and grab a delicious loaf of bread for dinner that night. There is cute indoor seating space and a wide open walk-up window with patio. Plus the people there are always so friendly and willing to answer questions about their bread or just help start your day on a lighter note. They're an amazing addition to this part of Roosevelt and I highly recommend a stop.

So I didn’t go to the location, Proof was on site at the farmers market, but my goodness gracious they are wonderful. The employees were super nice and great energy and then of course, the most important part, the bread, was amazing. I got a rosemary twist that had some of the best flavor and texture I have ever had and an incredibly hearty and delicious sourdough that I would sincerely recommend.

Of course, the food is delicious. I go every single Sunday with my dog to get Sunday pastries and bread for the week. I've never had a bad order. But it's more than the food that keeps me coming back. The people who work here are so profoundly NICE. In our chats, I always learn something new about their process - today, it was about making pretzels using lye vs. boiling water. As a (very) amateur baker, I appreciate that they don't talk down to me or gatekeep all their secrets when I ask questions. They're passionate about what they do, and it shows. This is the kind of place that makes Downtown feel like a real neighborhood, and I'm so glad it's a part of ours.

Nutritious bread and the most delicious pastries. Love the specialty items Proof introduces as well, they are always worth trying!

Proof Bread is a downtown gem! I absolutely loved their almond croissant—flaky, buttery perfection—and the lemon bar had just the right balance of tart and sweet, with that bright citrus zing that makes lemon bars so irresistible. The staff was incredibly friendly, and it’s such a treat having a spot like this in the neighborhood. It’s the perfect place to stroll to with your pup, grab a pastry, and chat with the locals. I heard dog treats might be coming soon, and my four-legged taste tester is very excited!

My first time trying was today (: I went bright and early in the morning. I didn’t catch the names of the two girls helping me this morning but they were very sweet and they explained their entire menu and how all their products are made fresh daily. Their coffee is amazing! So good! I ordered a whole country sourdough bread, ham and cheese croissant and some hot coffee (: my fiancé is super happy that I found a good bakery selling fresh sourdough daily. Their ham and cheese croissant is filled with flavor and it’s the best morning breakfast (: I am definitely coming back very soon!

I Love Proof Bread! I've only been to the Litchfield Park location but I'm sure the others are just as good. They have the tastiest treats and pizza. I personally really enjoy the chocolate croissant, morning bun, and pesto pizza. Also the staff is super friendly and you can even order online for a quick pickup if time is tight. I just hope to see some pop ups out here in the west valley soon, maybe at a farmers market or other events. Thanks Proof for being so awesome!

BEST CHOCOLATE CROSSIANT EVER! I'm lactose intolerant and there's a lot of stuff i stay away from, especially bread because it has dairy, so there's very few pastries i can enjoy without feeling sick. I've always stuck to sourdough since it has very low levels of lactose and good bacteria for the gut since it's fermented. I had went to Margret T Hance park with my lunch on a beautiful day, i searched around for any bakeries or coffee shops i could read my Manga book in. I found Proof! right down the street it's such an easy 5 min walk. I was greeted by a Lovely lady, and she was so sweet. I have a small sweet tooth but Chocolate croissants are a favorite of mine and i was SO PLEASED, there was BEAUTIFUL outdoor seating and even a bar area with air conditioning, in case it's a little humid, it felt so good. I sat there for a while and read, enjoying my sweet pasty. i loved every part of it! 100/10 :) WILL BE RETURNING AS A REGULAR :p

Service was great, with a nice clean bakery vibe. The selections of breads, pastry was pretty excellent! I rated them a 5 for service, quality, and location. They advertise their speciality as sourdough & they accomplish this. Prices were fair, maybe slightly better than their competitors. They are very helpful in providing ingredients, which are French style using butter, and in some cases, cold pressed canola. There was a buy 6 get 6 dollars off. Great! I spent 30 fr 6. Morning bun, which was like a cross between a cinnamon roll & croissant. Great cinnamon taste, and flaky. Their is an overwhelming sourdough taste, which I did not care for in a sweet pastry. I won't fault them, since this is clearly their angle. Sourdough. Lemon pastry. Loved it. The lemon was super tangy with the sourdough taste working like magic. This was my favorite. Reminiscent of the flavors in a lemon cheesecake. Almond croissant... not a fan. For me the almond was too subtle. Just a preference thing. Not feeling the sourdough tang in a croissant. Plain croissant...again, not wanting sourdough in this style of pastry. Pain chocolate. Loved it! The dark chocolate was delightful. Rosemary twist. Savory & slightly sweet. We had this with some salami (at home) It was really good! They had some interesting thicker pizza bread that looked very interesting, and I would like to try their loafs of bread. Many to choose from.

OMG after watching many! many!! many!!!seasons of Baking shows on TV I have found a Authentic Bakery where all those hard working bakers work. I had a SALTED ROSEMARY TWIST that was bursting with real rosemary and buttery goodness. The staff is beyond friendly and the coffee is amazingly good and reasonably priced. They brew Press Coffee(a local bean roaster). I travel as airline crew and I really appreciate bakeries that put in the work.

Hand down, the best bread and pastries around!! Small location in the Roosevelt district, that has plenty of their specialty breads and pastries!!! The sourdough is my favorite, along with the morning buns. Always the most friendliest staff!!!!!!

I've loved Proof Bread for years and was so excited that they've opened a location at Roosevelt Row. Great location in the new Eco apartments. Fast casual service where you order at the counter and they call out when your food/drink is ready. A couple of places to sit inside and a decent sized patio outside that will be great in cooler weather. Their pastries are great as always. Such a good addition to the neighborhood.

The perfect little bakery!! They serve delicious coffee and the BEST pastries! We have bought several sourdough loafs from them and each one was fantastic. You can't go wrong with anything here. The staff is always super friendly as well! They have seating on the inside and it's placed inside a nice little row of brick buildings off of Roosevelt. I highly recommend this place :) We need more places like these in Phoenix!

Quiche was delicious. Flaky and buttery crust with a center of eggs and meats. Learned about their flour mill which was cool to learn. Great old Phoenix neighborhood across from a small park. Lots of locals and people walking about. Great social vibe in a peaceful park setting. Despite being opening day and having crazy lines, our food came out hot in a couple of minutes. Coffee came a minute after. A great addition to the neighborhood!

If you are a sourdough lover, get your bread from Proof! Amazing quality bread without the useless ingredients you'd get from a grocery store loaf. The pastry's are also soooo good! They also have coffee! The staff was super friendly and enlightened me with the background of the business and bread! You're not only getting high quality bread, but you're also supporting a small business! I will definitely be back to get my weekly sourdough loafs!

Mmmm brand new proof bread in such a convenient location! I went to their grand opening and got their sourdough croissant and chocolate chip cookie, both were delish. Will be back!

We've been buying Proof bread at the farmers market for awhile so I visited their bakery. GREAT patio on a quiet street (at least that morning it was). I think their pastries are the best because they're made with sourdough. By far the best bread in the city.

Delicious pastries & bread in the downtown area. We bought a couple of croissants, an iced mocha and loaf of olive bread. The croissants are so flaky and fresh! There are just a few tables inside & more seating outdoors. Parking is a bit hard to find but we will definitely be back!

We had the chocolate croissant and the boston creme pie crossaint. Both were fantastic. The staff were very kind, too.
