20 Shekels Bread

This is what I call a «Must Go Bakery»!
Stopped by here while in Clearwater to grab a quick bite to eat. Walking in, you’re immediately immersed in a very hip, old-​fashioned feel. The bakery itself is very simple. They have one counter and behind the counter, they have the daily breads they’re selling. I got a loaf of blueberry bread and ugh… it was delicious. They baked a perfect loaf of bread that has a good mixture of moisture, texture, and the sweets from the fruit.
Shekels offers a wide selection of not only breads, but also cakes, muffins, and other baked goods! All of their breads seem pretty fresh so you can’t go wrong here. The price is decent to. For homemade, fresh bread, I would say Shekels is a fair deal.
Also, everyone there is very nice and inviting. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! They’ll even let you sample the breads before buying, and trust me, you’ll want to buy it all. Seriously, give it this place a try next time you’re in Clearwater!

My wife loves this stuff and always brings home different varieties of it from the Saturday morning market in ST. Petersburg near where we live. I myself eat VERY healthy and do not eat much bread other than sour dough. After a recent occurrence and the fact that after posting on their website and getting absolutely no response whatsoever… I would NEVER, EVER eat this bread or endorse anything that they make. I’ve also talked a number of my dear friends out of EVER eating or endorsing their products. The main issue I have is. After biting into a slice of their Ezekiel bread. I broke a tooth. ON BREAD! I couldn’t believe it. One of their endorsers tried to attack me by saying that maybe I had bad teeth. WRONG! I had literally JUST had a deep cleaning. And my dentist can attest to the fact. Hmmmmm… I wonder if they’ll ignore my lawyer.

Gourmet or Craft bread. You decide. Either way, they have good bread. This bakery with the name 20 shekels is equal $ 5.06 USD. I believe the loaf of their bread more than 20 shekels ($ 7).
We got a loaf of chocolate blackberry bread. They are delicious. It was interesting how they make it. They use sprouts dough. It is compact, jam, dense. Fill you up quick.
Other item they have sold include sprouted brioche fruit tart, sprout lemon cake, sprouted banana muffin and many more. Come to check them out for fresh loaf.
The store sale people are very friendly. They are knowledgeable to answer any questions. I would give them an «A» on the bakery item. Go enjoy yourself a loaf of bread. 20 shekels is very reasonable for the price of the loaf.

I got a fresh bake load of chocolate black berry sprouted bread. It was so unique and tasted denser than regular wheat bread. It tasted very good. One slice is enough for breakfast. The owner friendly greeted me and other customers. She explained to me the difference of sprouted bread and regular bread. This was my first time trying the sprouted bread. I was impressed. Although each load cost $ 7.50. For its nutritional value and it could last for a week in the frig. It wasn’t so bad.

I’m in love with 20 Shekels bread!
It’s healthy, dense and hearty.
They’ve got many amazing flavors,
For a super carb-​tastic party!
I’ve gotten their breads at markets
But only recently went to the store.
It’s right by my yoga studio,
So I will definitely be going more!
I wanted a loaf of carrot cake bread
But when I got there, it was still in the oven.
I was only slightly disappointed
They have many other breads worth loving.
So I got a pear walnut loaf instead
It was delicious, w/​large chunks of pear!
I was eyeballing the rustic chocolate bread.
I’ll definitely get a loaf next time I’m there.
I really like the stuffed Littles
They offer both savory and sweet.
The tarragon chicken makes a nice lunch.
The blueberry/​cream cheese is a treat!

Amazing bread. Bought some carrot bread at St Petersburg Saturday Market. Highly recommend giving her creations a taste. Beware though. You may not be able to stop!

So great to have a wonderful neighborhood backery. The bread is fantastic! The owner and staff are wonderful. If you haven’t stopped in you have to try it. Nothing like a mini and hot cup of coffee from here.

Quite possibly the best smelling bakery in all of Tampa bay.
The retail portion is only open a few days a week, so I put it on my radar to check out this morning. When I arrived a little before 10, A LOT was already sold out. That is how popular this place is.
The lady offered me a sample of the cranberry/​walnut (what I went with) and the carrot. Both were wonderful and made with quality ingredients, but the cranberry/​walnut won me over. And to top things off, they have a wide selection of snacks/​desserts. I went with a prosciutto/​ricotta roll and ate it for breakfast.
Wonderful, fresh and locally owned-​a true winner in my books.

A friend took us here when we were visiting Clearwater for a conference. Incredible savory and sweet pastries along with a wide selection of all kinds of sprouted and traditional breads. Will definitely come back next time I’m in town!

Best bread in town! Sprouted flour is the way to go. The owner is an inspiration. Garlic chibbatta and Jewish rye breads are delicious!

Never disappointed when I get bread from 20 Shekels! My boyfriend and I have been trying to eat better food so that meant no more bread. That is until we found this place. Everything is so delicious and we get to indulge without watching the scale shoot up. We’ve tried quite a few different breads now and used them for everything from dipping in soup to making French toast!

I hesitate to write a review because I really don’t want people to find this and take all the delicious breads and pastries from me. But I want them to fare welll so I can keep enjoying the deliciousness of this place! go early and check the days and hours they are open. Amazing unique sweet and savory pastries made with seasonal fresh ingredients. the Brad aren’t cheap but they are dance class a long time and are extremely healthy and delicious. Haven’t found anything close to it in Tampa Bay. Put it this way, we found the bakery excellent 3 days after returning from Paris — — say no more! the coffee is good and made to order. and oh the cookies — — even the gluten free cookies are amazing and chewy. Their specialty is the Ezekiel bread — — dense but delicious test test love the one with pear and nuts. The muffins are to die for! Usually a muffin top is where its at — — but this mountain is amazing top to bottom. My wife and I don’t even fight over the top because the rest of it is so good.

Worth the trip. I have moved in the past several months and have yet to find bread baker in San Francisco that can hold up to 20 Shekels. They have terrific options for both vegan and non-​vegan customers. I would occasionally pick this up in the morning to share at work and always pick up some items if I had guests in town. The blackberry chocolate loaf is a must, and all minis are all worth trying. Great friendly service as well. Hopefully I will get the chance to visit again.

I love the smell of bread that comes from this place. A lot of people seem to fans of the bread too like it’s rock star status.
The raisin bread twist was sweet but not too sweet. The one that I wanted was sold out.
The people working the counter was incredibly friendly and helpful.
If you are a coffee drinker I’ve heard other customers raving about it. I wanted to order a drink with my bread like a juice or water and they didn’t have any selection. I also speculate if they had longer hours more customers would be able to buy. But they are local with a good reputation so the customers has to arrange their schedule to make it in when they are open.

The 20 Shekels storefront is beautiful and friendly. It was my first time in the store and the staff eagerly gave me the tour of all the breads on display and offered great recommendations. The owner came out with samples of the bread I was considering. They sell out quickly, so if you have a specific loaf in mind, be sure to call ahead and they will put it on hold for you. Today I picked up a fruit tart. She mentioned they don’t typically make them, but if I like it and want it again, to call her and she will make them for me. This sort of customer service and collaboration is such a treat and makes me want to come back regularly. Very lovely staff and owner.

After the Dr. appointment we needed a walk around the inviting town of Dunedin
Noticed the farmers market was in the village square and we happened upon the bakery booth
Tried the sprouted pear bread — soft and flavorful
Garlic ciabatta was devoured on the test of our walk along with the two buns– one savory with gam and soft cheese, the other sweet with fruit
They are at the farmers market Fridays and Saturday — and I may be too!

I’ve been wanting to try this little bakery out for a while now, so I told myself that whatever happens, I needed to make it here this weekend. Well, what had happened was. Haha I went out last night and could not get up early enough this morning to get there and get to choose from a variety of choices. As soon as u walk in the smell of fresh baked goods hits u in the face, it smelled so good I wanted to eat the air. Unfortunately, I walked in at 10:30 and the cases were completely swiped out, they literally had 5 lonely little breads left. I managed to get my hands on a stuffed chocolate hazelnut and stuffed spinach cheese bread.
I was trying to wait to eat breakfast first and then eat the breads later, but anyone who knows me, knows that I don’t have will power when it comes to having any food in my car when it’s filling the air with deliciousness. I don’t understand those people who can go get food and drive all the way home with it, not even touching the bag or box!? That’s like an incredible Super Power to me. U guys are amazing! Really, u are! … Because that NEVER happens in my car, nothing makes it past the light, from chipolte burrito bowls, burritos, pizza out of the box, Chinese food, the messiest of sandwiches, even Phở. Don’t worry guys, I’m a professional;-) I’m just glad I finally tinted my windows so I don’t have to deal with the staring anymore. Even though I was trying to save my appetite for breakfast, once I got in my car I knew these breads wouldn’t make it one minute. My hand busted straight through the bag, I took the quick pic and a immediate bite! Mmm, these breads are delicious. They were surprisingly dense, they had a good little weight to them. Chewy outside, soft in the middle with a nice little treat inside, and they smelled great. They were everything that my fellow Unilocalers had been describing them to be. I’m definitely going back, and early next time. Hopefully, I can get my hands on a strawberry banana roll or anything with fruit would be great.
I also noticed that they have Java Planet organic coffee here. The same coffee beans that my favorite coffee shop Eco-​Bean in Tarpon Springs uses. Very cool:-)

I discovered 20 Shekels Bread at Hyde Park’s Fresh Market today. This bread is freaking amazing!!!
I have been avoiding eating bread lately, but I discovered 20 Shekels makes some of their breads with sprouted wheat. If you are unfamiliar with sprouted wheat let me give you a brief rundown…
Sprouted wheat is denser in nutrients and has more fiber than breads made with processed wheat. Breads with sprouted wheat are easier to digest and are lower in cholesterol, fat and sodium. Whether or not you are interested in the health benefits here is the bottom line: it tastes really good! (If the idea of eating anything healthy scares you then rest assure; not all of their breads are made with sprouted wheat.) They carry the most amazing rosemary ciabatta and garlic ciabatta bread!
20 Shekels Bread makes five different varieties of sprouted breads including: Ezekiel, Muesli, Chocolate Blackberry, Walnut Pear and Peasant. The Ezekiel bread has a pretty cool story. The bread’s recipe originates from the bible:
«Given to the prophet Ezekiel in the 6^th century B.C., the bread was to be made using wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet and spelt. With the exception of water it was to be his only sustenance for 390 days.»
20 Shekels found the combination of beans and grains give you the nine essential amino acids necessary for your body so it would be possible (but boring) for one to survive on only bread and water for over a year.
20 Shekels Bread has a shop in Clearwater with retail hours on Friday through Sunday 6am until noon. Or check out one of their bread making classes:

Yummmmmmmm!!! Delicious.
I had several of their bread offerings from their stand at the Sweetwater Sunday market on Commanche off Hanley in Town & Country. Everything I had was extraordinary.
Many of the breads have rich and complex flavors and textures as the finest bakery made goods do. Varieties include fruit, nut, rosemary, and other offerings in terrific combinations. GREAT!!!

Every bread I’ve ever had or tasted from them has been fantastic. I buy their bread at any farmers market I can find them. It’s always freshly baked and oozing with deliciousness. The minis are delightful and often times stuffed with fun fruit pieces. I’ve had the pleasure of having the strawberry macadamia nut and blackberry minis. The sprouted grain breads are fantastic. I usually get the pear and walnut sprouted wheat bread, but this weekend they had a chocolate version. When I got home, I was delighted to find raspberries inside! Who doesn’t love raspberries and chocolate?!?
It’s a good thing they don’t have a Tampa location or I would eat bread all day every day!
