This charming outdoor bakery serves up flaky, buttery croissants and delightful pastries in a cozy space that's perfect for sunny days.
"Right in Google’s backyard, in a former Acme warehouse, the Midwife and the Baker is the highest volume bakery that’s milling its own flour in the Bay Area, grinding thousands of pounds of grains every week. Thomas “Mac” McConnell was an instructor at the San Francisco Baking Institute before taking on this challenge, and his bread is wildly flavorful and consistently beautiful. Order online to pick up or keep an eye out at local coffee shops." - Lauren Saria, Becky Duffett
"The Midwife and the Baker is a whole grain bakery that bakes all its bread and pastries with flour that’s milled in-house. As the name suggests, the bakery was founded by a baker and his spouse, who worked as a homebirth midwife. They started selling their bread at the Fort Mason Farmers’ Market in San Francisco. Now, they bake in their own facility in Mountain View, and their bread is served at cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores all over the region. The sesame whole wheat consistently sells out, while fans love the Kamut baguette due to its notably deep, buttery flavor. In terms of pastries, the traditional croissant and the sticky bun are well-liked." - Cathy Park
"Working out of a warehouse in Mountain View, the Midwife and the Baker is open for walkups and is known for freshly milling their own flour — no small feat and a serious commitment to local grains. The traditional butter croissant is the crowd favorite, but check out the bakery’s everything croissant, as well as the cardamom version." - Dianne de Guzman, Becky Duffett
