Long grain bread is delicious! This place is a hidden gem! I am so impressed with their quality and I thought it was made by Japanese professional baker. Must try. Let their breads speak to you. I put 4 stars just for leaving a room for others to search and build their reputation.

My favorite bread. I drive from southern California up to pick up a few loaves now and again. I love their sourdough. You literally cannot get sourdough in SoCal.

We’ve been enjoying Sumano’s breads for years. My favorites are the Watsonville sourdough and the ciabatta. Hard to beat!

i was raised in the salinas valley, so GOOD sourdough bread was never a problem. then in the early 80’s my job shipped me to southern california and i have been on a seek & find mission ever since! a few years back i went home to salinas to visit family & they served watsonville sourdough with dinner… i thought i had died & gone to heaven! that visit we brought home 3 loaves & dolled them out sparingly from the freezer. now everytime we go home to salinas, we stop by nobhill & purchase at least 8 loaves! i have never been able to find it here in so-​cal… so some how we need to get it south … please :)

WOW! We were camping at Sea Cliff State Beach in Aptos and realized we had all the fix-​ins for spaghetti but no french bread. I headed up the little hill just hoping to get some sort of french bread with out going to Safeway and found a small store at the top… he had everything! He also had fresh sourdough round loafs. What a treat!!! The bread is excellent!!! I bought it 4 days ago… we are now home and just finished off the loaf… feeling sad I don’t live closer. You can’t go wrong with this bakery for sure… I would love to see what else they have! I’m giving you 5 stars because I only thought Boudin’s had the best sourdough… I stand corrected.

The worst bakery In Santa Cruz County — possibly in California! One reviewer said that the bread is better than Sara Lee! Sara Lee bread is frozen, soggy, and flavorless, so yeah just a bit better than Sara Lee, not high praise in my book!
The breads are consistently undercooked, flabby (and bread should not be flabby), and 4 out of 5 times there is unbaked RAW dough in the middle!!! I don’t understand how these people stay in business!
Hey Sumano’s — take the money you have from selling people bad baked goods and hire some REAL BAKERS with REAL TRAINING!!!
Absolutely terrible — YUCK!

Where has Watsonville Sourdough been hiding in all of these years? Just happened upon it in a Safeway in Santa Clara the other day, as I have been searching for this very kind of sour dough bread FOREVER! The name among the sourdoughs… Watsonville…caught my eye as I was raised in Salinas many, many years ago. What a find! Now whenever I am at this Safeway, never leave without a loaf to put in the freezer — — -it goes like hotcakes and it is only me!

Most excellent local sourdough bread. Always on our counter.
Not much else to say. When we get this at its peak softness, we simply cannot resist it.

I prefer Sumano’s sourdough bread over the socalled gourmet brands like SaraLee, Boudins, Francisco. Absolutely the best but on the downside I’ve only found it in Safeway and NobHill markets.

Sumano’s Bakery performs a real service to the South Bay and Central Coast providing excellent breads to the major markets. Displaced from San Diego County by the lousy economy I’m pleased to find such good bread so available.
I’m conducting a long term investigation as to whether Sumano’s or Kelly’s is my favorite. I’d have to tip my hat to Sumano’s since they maintain excellent quality and much better saturation of the market. I lean toward Kelly’s on the baguettes just a tad but Sumano’s Francese is perfect. Slightly crunchier crust and remarkable interior texture.
Taste is subjective and I would disagree about the ciabatta with Emma R. It’s certainly very good but I’ve been spoiled by the utter perfection of ciabatta baked by Mona Lisa’s in San Diego. Sumano’s isn’t quite a proper ciabatta in texture or even shape. Still, to get Mona Lisa’s you have to go to their restaurant/​bakery. Sumano’s is mass producing a remarkably good product. Bravo.

I grew up in Watsonville on Mighty Nice Bakery french bread. I moved to San Jose and eventually learned that Mighty Nice closed. One day I saw a loaf of Sumano’s Bakery Watsonville Sourdough and found it even better than the old Mighty Nice Bakery. The Ciabatta sandwich loaf is to die for. I keep one in the freezer so I don’t run out. Toasted with butter and a cup of tea is perfection. I am so glad that Sumano’s bread is so good and available in San Jose and I hope the business lasts longer than I do!
