Artisan Sourdough That Tastes Like Home

Freshly baked breads, pastries, and morning favorites crafted daily in the heart of Palm Desert.

About Us

Tucked along the scenic CA-111 in Palm Desert, A Bakery has become the desert's best-kept secret for those who crave honest, handcrafted baked goods. From the first crackle of our crusty sourdough to the buttery layers of our morning buns, every item is made with care using time-honored techniques and the finest local ingredients. Our small kitchen hums before dawn as we shape loaves, fold focaccia, and roll out cookies that bring Bay Area flavor to the Coachella Valley. Whether you're stopping in for a perfect scone or stocking up on bread for the week, you'll find a warm counter, friendly faces, and the unmistakable aroma of bread that was meant to be shared.

What We Offer

Our daily lineup features naturally leavened sourdough loaves with that signature tangy depth and chewy crumb locals rave about. Mornings bring golden scones, flaky morning buns, and thick-cut focaccia topped with seasonal herbs. We also bake an ever-changing selection of cookies and sweet treats made with real butter and premium chocolate. Everything is baked fresh each day in small batches, so flavors stay bright and textures stay perfect. Stop by early for the best selection, or call ahead to reserve your favorite loaf before it sells out.

"Best sourdough bread in the valley. I am from the Bay Area, and this is the closest I’ve ever had to San Francisco sourdough. Also highly recommend their cookies, morning buns, and focaccia. Everything is made fresh so try to get there early before they run out of items for the day."

"Had the best scone in my life!! It was so delicious and perfectly baked! Was amazed how good it was. The place is so clean and tidy and the staff is so friendly. Bought the sourdough also and tried it tonight! It was incredible. Can’t wait to try more and will definitely be back! If you want the best baked goods and support local business, run don’t walk here!! Edit: We had the chocolate chip scone with orange glaze."
