FKN Bread

Was in the area and tried this place from the recommendation of a friend. She advised me that as a sourdough lover, they not only bake fresh loafs of sourdough bread, but also include it in everything else on the menu - their scones, croissants, cookies, cupcakes, etc. We got 2 loafs of bread to try plus cookies, croissants, and a Cali Toast. The bread was amazing and the croissants were the real star of the show for me. I absolutely love chocolate croissants and sourdough on its own, so the sourdough added into it was the perfect combination I didn't know I needed until now! The inside was pretty small and I assume they sell out before the end of day on a lot of things. The guy after me got the last chocolate croissant of the day - and this was only 10:45am. It's just a bakery where you can buy and take out! No seating or such inside. We came in right before a small rush (got lucky!) but the staff inside were friendly despite it being busy! If I ever find myself in the area again, I'll definitely be making another trip to FKN Bread!

This must be a five star place as I realized I drove 45 minutes to grab some goodies twice in one month. It was a positive day. I snagged parking right up front in busy San Juan, and FKN had their jalapeño cheddar loaf in stock. There is a sweet young woman working up front who greeted me and when asked for suggestions, she gave her favorites and what was popular. Her favorites included the everything bagel croissant for savory items and pumpkin muffin for sweet. They both were absolutely scrumptious. The bagel croissant was all fluffiness and butter w cream cheese as a bonus. Pumpkin muffin was moist and balanced. I haven't eaten the loaf yet but my coworker recommended to toast a slice with butter when I get home. Others that were recommended for its popularity include the baklavah muffin. Always a treat for family, friends and coworkers. Ambiance feels rustic, industrial and homey.

The best croissants I've ever had in my life. I'm not even exaggerating. I'm constantly searching for a good croissant, and so many fall short, but not these. The everything bagel seasoning with cream cheese croissant is one of the best things I've ever eaten. 10/10 cannot recommend enough. Honorable mention for their $5 sourdough pizza dough! Such a great deal for a fantastic diy pizza.

What a wonderful surprise. I love muffins and we found this awesome place. While spending my Birthday in San Juan Capistrano we went downtown. Of course the name is my favorite, I knew they could ONLY have awesome products. We purchased two muffins and a loaf. WOW, what a treat. We are planning another trip in a couple weeks. In my pic is my Birthday fluffy "ALEX", he was a gift from my favorite 7 year old Miss Peyton. He traveled with us all weekend and was pictured everywhere. Thanks for adding to our weekend.

My family and I have purchased numerous items from KFN at the Redo Market multiple times and have frequented the brick and mortar location a couple times before, and each time it has blown us away. The people are always kind, down-to-earth and helpful. And of course, the bread is AMAZING.Unfortunately, This was not my experience yesterday when I entered the store. Firstly it was towards the late afternoon so there was only one fresh loaf of bread left-- no one's fault. But the ladies in the shop seemed super agitated and the vibe was just off. They were curt and not super friendly, but I just assumed it had been very busy and they were probably just done with the day. I confirmed they had no loaves really left and decided on two freshly made sandwiches instead to bring home for later. The sandwiches were made, I paid for them and promptly left with no issues. When I got home one sandwich was incredibly dry and lacked any flavor and the other one was so smothered in oil it leaked through the paper bag and into my car... it was practically inedible. In fact, my son removed everything and just ate the deli meat and cheese alone. I wouldn't have been as disappointed if it was some random deli, but I know FKN can do better and these two sandwiches costed $26 dollars! I have ordered sandwiches to bring home before and they were excellent so I know this isn't the norm. I love this establishment but this experience is unacceptable. I'm happy to pay these prices for a local spot known for their quality product but I was so soured by this experience I don't know if I will be going back.

A friend has been talking about trying bread from here for a while so while I was running errands I popped in and let her know I can pick up whatever she wanted. The parking can be difficult. There's a few spaces directly in front and a pay parking lot in the back. I just parked in the back and hoped I didn't get a ticket for my quick stay. FKN Bread is a pick up and take home spot. There's no room to sit and enjoy inside. I was expecting just sourdough bread varieties, but there was also a pumpkin loaf, pastries, muffins, and cookies! My friend got the classic sourdough loaf and the everything sourdough loaf. She also got a lemon blueberry muffing, and a variety of six different cookies. I bout myself just two cookies. My friend raved about the everything sourdough loaf and sent me back for the pumpkin bread and more sourdough iced sugar cookies. I had one of the sourdough sprinkles cookies the day before and had to get another! I also tried the brown butter toffee chocolate chip sea salt cookie, which was amazing and have been dreaming about that one as well. I love supporting small businesses and will stop by every time I'm in the area!

Friendly people manning the bread. I love that sourdough is their bread and butter here. Cookies, muffins, croissants and breads are all made off this dough for a unique flavor .... Or rather everything has that sourdough punch to it. I love their pistachio croissant the most but I don't think you can go wrong here. It's a small shop so no spot to really sit and eat, it's def more of a take away spot or a place to get some loaves for the road.

Huge sucker for bakeries and the name of this one is intriguing... I had to go in & see what's up. I walked out with a jalapeño cheddar sourdough loaf, a sourdough almond croissant, chocolate croissant, brown sugar oatmeal cookie, & the parmesan garlic scone. A lot more than I intended. Lol. The croissants are meh, they're okay. The oatmeal cookie is good. The jalapeño cheddar sourdough loaf is bomb... but to my surprise the PARMESAN GARLIC SCONE is so so good. I almost made a U-turn to get more. Good service. Small shop but seems busy.

Got some FKN croissant with cream cheese today and it was so good I forgot to take a picture. Trust me, FKN bread is worth it! stay tuned for some pictures following my next visit.

The last time I was in SJC, I saw FKN and wanted to try it, but since the line was so long I decided not to. During my visit this week, I was waiting for my takeaway order from Breezy and saw that there was no line so I headed over. They have a nice selection of pastries, sandwiches, and loaves of beautiful breads! I was curious that their croissants are sourdough based, so I decided to purchase a couple to try. And of course I couldn't resist passing on their scone and coffee cake! Their chocolate cinnamon bread peaked my interest as well. The employee said it makes a great french toast, so I decided to give it a try. Everything I tried was great. I loved that the scone was like a biscuit - buttery and crispy on the bottom. The chocolate cinnamon bread had chocolate folded throughout the loaf, but I didn't really taste the cinnamon. It's a sourdough bread, so you can taste the tang of the sourdough with the chocolate which makes for an interesting flavor, but I enjoyed a slice of it toasted and topped with some peanut butter, blueberries, and honey. I also used it to make french toast and it was good as well, although I prefer a softer type of bread for my french toast personally. It's a generous sized loaf so I sliced half of it into smaller slices and stuck it in the freezer to enjoy later!
