Frank's Bakery - Gibaldi's Italian Bread

The bread here is amazing! Fresh, flavorful, soft, chewy, so delicious! I got to experience the sourdough rolls at a family holiday get-together. I had to find out where I could buy them. We went early Saturday morning, just a little after opening and some items were already nearly gone. Stocked up on all the flavor of rolls and some sliced bread. There are many desserts to choose from as well. I'm not a sweet tooth, so skipped on those. Save the cards for the bread!If you go, take cash, since it's a cash-only place. I'm glad I added the some to my wallet earlier that day. The prices are very good.

Best homemade bread around, I love their sourdough loaves. The reason for the 4/5 stars is parking kind of stinks and they only take cash.

I finally found a bakery that is top notch in every way when it comes to quality bread, rolls, baguettes, torpedo rolls and assorted pastries. It's a grab your own product from a large lineup of fresh baked goods including sourdough, rye, wheat and many more. Best of all, their prices are very reasonable. If you haven't been here it's worth your time. Just be sure to have cash, as it's a cash only business.

Another great find on Campo Road. As you approach the door, an intense aroma of fresh baked bread hits you. We tried a few different options, but the sandwich rolls are our favorite. It pairs really nice a smoked brisket I made. The bread is obviously fresh and very reasonably priced. They are cash only, so be prepared. Both times we arrived near opening time at noon, so I'm not sure if they sell out or still have offerings later in the day. Definitely a hidden gem and worth the try supporting this small business.

Cranberry honey wheat rolls are a must have! The lady at the front is friendly yet reserved! She loves my mom and I! We have known her for a few years now! She always puts the bread back that we pick and she gets the warmer fresher one for us lol that's real love!

I don't know why I'd never been here before but had read the comments about some rude female staff member and maybe that had something to do with it. Regardless I went yesterday and wow, I know I'll be back. An older gentleman helped me and had me feel the warmth of the fresh bread and look inside the brown bags to see a beautiful bread wreath. I wish I could have bought everything! I ended up with a huge bag of torpedo rolls for $6 and they're delicious. Plenty of free parking, cash ONLY.

I saw this delicious cheese danish on a fellow Yelper's review and I just had to have it! Since I was at the Grossmont Center, I figure I could swing by and pick that up and maybe some other goodies. Frank is located in Spring Valley, and since I don't come out here, at all, this was an adventure. When I parked, there was a woman waiting in her car, the doors were open, and there was a counter, but no one was there. So I started looking at what I was going to buy, and there's a lot! Finally, the worker came out with an order for the woman waiting. Another woman walked up and asked if she could go ahead of me since I was still looking through the window at what they had.When I was ready, I asked for the cheese danish, chocolate croissant, bear claw, eclair, a box of the Italian cookies, andMe: What just came out of the oven?He: The small loavesMe: I'll take those too!He: plain or seeded?Those small loaves were hot and he gave them to me in a paper bag and gave me a plastic bag, for "after they cool off." I couldn't help myself on the drive home, I had to eat one and it was sooooooooo good! My whole car smelled like baked bread! Loved the cheese danish! Bear Claw delicious! Really good eclair! The chocolate croissant wasn't as flaky as I thought it could be but was good. And the variety of cookies will please anyone! Next time I'll have to get the chocolate biscotti! Cash only....let me repeat that....Cash only. I'm not sure if that's always or for right now. But I will definitely be back! Such a great hidden gem! They used to be in Little Italy, but this location has easy parking.

Sadly I'm not super impressed here! I'm sure they have good stuff, but I came thinking as Italian bakery, they would have the basic Italian breads. I came here looking for fresh baked focaccia. No such luck! Apparently they used to make it.... But no one bought it or like it! Really?!? So no focaccia bread here! My search for that continues... I asked the guy behind the counter what is good. He said the cheese danish... but he's never tried it, but said it was popular. Ok, I got that and that's it. He's right, it's not bad, babe loves it. Other than that there's nothing else I really wanted here. :(

Just Outstanding!If you are in the mood to make your own Deli sandwiches, this is the place to start!The 9 or 12 inch rolls are the base. Then, you are on to your own devices.For desserts, Italian Chocolate biscotti, a must!!!

Italian bread? No not even close and sadly disappointed. If you never lived on the East Coast you'll think it's good bread though.
