Culture Bakehouse

Impressed...Satisfied...Can't wait to go back asap!!! So I visited this phenomenal business on a beautiful Saturday morning, shopping at the Vineyards Farmer's Market in Fresno.I had never tried anything from here before, but the fresh factor, hearing the workers speak so eloquently and confidently about their baked goods, and frankly the line of enthusiastic patrons...I was sooo intrigued! I got in line, and as I walked across their display area, you guessed it... I kept adding items. The bagels, pastries, and bread purchased were so scrumptious, crafted beautifully, and were a hit with the entire family! The textures and flavors were spot on, and a pleasant surprise. I bought two bags worth of goodness! Give this lovely spot a try and you will not be disappointed.

Delicious bread and the make it with flour that isn't enriched which is the only bread I can consume. Friendly staff each time I stop by.

Found out about Culture Bakeshop from the Vineyards Farmers Market in Fresno. The first time we tried their sourdough chocolate chip cookies and have been hooked since! We literally drove from LA to get the cookies. They are that good!! This business is owned by a sweet and kind family (we met the daughter Fiona at the farmers market and her dad at the second location) - they use high quality fresh ingredients and it shows! The fig pop tart and fig pastry were also well balanced and very delicious. We look forward to coming back and trying more of their items. Awesome people sharing their yummy products!! They currently sell at the Vineyards Farmers Market in Fresno and Enzo's Table at the Row on Saturdays.

YOU HEARD IT 'FIRST' on YELP! "CALLING ALL ARTISAN BREAD LOVERS, THIS WILL BE THE 'ICONIC' BREAD OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY!"Whuuut?My husband and I have traveled three hours to San Francisco's Tartine bakery, JUST for the NATURALLY LEAVENED sourdough bread they are famous for . . . and LONG were the years and sighs, for such bread locally. WHY, you ask?One bite, and you will be a believer forevermore! ;) *NOW* IT'S IN OUR OWN BACKYARD ( SHRIEK ) !!!Which is WHY I routinely scope out YELP to find out about the latest 'foodie' openings in OUR valley ( wink-wink ).THIS bread is chewy, DELICIOUS, profoundly MOIST. . . addictive. Could. Not. Stop. Eating. You just might need to sign up for a 'Ten Step' program, if you dive-in like Moi . . . BUT, that's not all! They have the most GOOEY, luscious, caramel-y looking cinnamon buns ( via, Instagram photo of chocolate croissants in the foreground/the buns shyly standing behind them )! Drool. Worthy.If you want to secure your order, you can go to their website, order and pre-pay then pick up your order at Enzos table. They arrive on Saturdays at noon until they sell out. Fortunately, they still had some bread available for sale when I picked up my order, which I GLADLY bought some delicious looking jalapeño cheddar sourdough! A lot of bakery treats were sold out by 1:30 PM. The owner and his daughter informed me that I could call them and place a specific request too! They also sell their bread at Sweet Thistle flower farm. Cool! ALSO in our own backyard!Presently, they are making a very labor-intensive Armenian holiday bread called Choereg. This is for all the bread makers in the family that would rather VISIT than bake! LOL!Raw Fresno showcases Culture Bakehouse's 100% organic bread, for their 'Avacado Toast'. YES, TRUTH! In fact, the owner told me they made 300 loaves for them last month! What does THIS tell you about their bread? Hmmmm?Don't miss out!

THANK THE WORLD FOR CULTURE!!I've heard so much about this place and by sheer luck ran upon them at Enzo's Table. This is their permanent location now!!Locally owned and definitely a labor of love that goes into all the baked goods here. The owner Brandon and his daughter were welcoming and answered all of my questions. What I appreciate about their baked goods is that they are local and seasonal!! I opted for some shortbread and the chai white chocolate cookie and was not disappointed!! The chai cookie reminded me of the start of fall - the earthiness that is in the air. The chai was subtle and the cookie itself is moist on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside. The white chocolate is such a nice balance to this cookie and adds notes of sweetness when you least expect it. For the shortbread cookie bars, I'm not sure you'll find anything else like it. I love it because it doesn't overpower you with sweetness. It's light and delicate. The sugar on top is just enough to bring it all together. The way it crumbles in your mouth is unlike any other shortbread I've had. I want to try their savory items next time! A cheddar scone sounds amazing and I've heard from others that their sourdough is absolutely phenomenal!What a great gem to our community!!

The bread is amazing. Try the cherry bread it's the best. Just remember there or not at the Shepherd and Willow until noon I keep missing them unfortunately.

I had heard a lot about this bakery and was eager to try their jalapeño and cheddar sourdough bread, as well as their sourdough chocolate chip cookies.The bread was delicious and toasted nicely: crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. My only complaint is I wish the cheese is shredded rather than added as chunks. When you toast the bread, the cheese chunks don't soften or melt.The batch of chocolate chip cookies I purchased from the Vineyard Farmers Market was disappointing. For some reason, our batch was very salty, as if someone added 2 additional tablespoons to the mix. Apart from too much salt, the cookies were perfectly baked: chewy and moist. I wish they would cut back on the salt as well as the white sugar to allow the flavor of the chocolate chips and brown sugar to take center stage.

Their sourdough is out of this world. Their brioche bun is a hit and their sourdough cookies is the most delicious cookies!

Not sure what all the excitement about this bread is. It is ok sourdough but not the taste that you get from others. I believe in supporting local businesses and thought I would give it a try. I have eaten better sourdough at area restaurants. Not even close to sourdough you get in San Francisco or the central coast.! I am not saying it tasted bad. It just doesn't taste like what a $10-$12 a loaf bread should taste like. Seems it is lacking the sour taste. However the chocolate chip cookies are the perfect blend of sweet and sour !
