Becky’s Breads

Not sure how to start this review. Firstly, I am baffled by the name of the business, which leaves one to assume there is bread to be had. Not the case. You have to pre-order, and she only makes a round or a loaf. And that is what I did. I ordered a round, expecting something like a "boule", a round loaf of crunchy bread. I pick up an anticipated yummy round of bread to make sandwiches that same day. Instead, I get a flat, round kind of bread. I accept without anything being said. (But knowing in my head this is completely wrong, but maybe she misunderstood what I wanted) I go to my car and decide at the last second, to go back in, told her what I thought I was getting, telling her and having to explain to a "baker" what a "boule" is. So, I took the bread home, showed my husband and he was in awe as to what we paid for (7.25!). I opened it up, she had wrapped the bread in a PLASTIC WRAP!!!!? What kind of baker wraps a fresh loaf of bread in PLASTIC? You're supposed to put in PAPER! ANYHOW, the bread was as IF it had been baked a day or two before. Did not smell like a good bread, but like a loaf of bread you would get at Walmart. I call her and tell her what the problem is she says to bring it back and she will return my money. Thank you, that was kind. But when I DO return it, her excuse was..."I guess it didn't rise enough as bread has its own mind"!!!! First of all, if you thought the bread did not rise correctly, WHY did you sell it to me? Secondly, don't make dumb remarks like that. If you knew the bread was not what it should have been, call me and tell me that you have to remake the loaf, I would have liked that better than to get an awful loaf of bread. As for the croissants, they should be crispy on the outside and soft and airy and pillowy on the inside and taste of butter. These are like rolls!! With a bit of butter baked in. Subpar. I have been to several bakeries overseas, and have a friend who owned a bakery. This is NOTHING compared to a true bakery. Sorry, not sorry....

The four of us checking out Berea wandered in for lunch thinking there would be all kinds of breads to choose from. Your choices are a croissant sandwich with ham, turkey or tuna. We all chose turkey. It was a very flaky buttery croissant-A+. Saw pictures of Humboldt county and assumed she was from there. No actually, San Francisco. Husband tried to make small talk and asked about whether she's ever made sourdough bread. She became very agitated at his question and snappy- her angry San Fran roots came out. Did not fit the friendly, cheerful vibe of Berea.

Great sandwiches at reasonable prices. Brownie bites are delicious! Good menu is a bit limited, but if you want a sandwich, this is a delightful find in Berea.

Amazing croissant sandwiches and delicious macarons. This is the place for fresh baked treats!

I was so excited to find this bakery while driving through Kentucky. The staff is so welcoming. The croissant sandwich I had was delicious. I also got a bourbon ball, which was appropriately boozy, and a cranberry scone that was still flaky a day later. I'll definitely go back. I didn't try their coffee, but it smelled wonderful.

Delicious croissant sandwiches made to order and sweet treats. What's not to like? Love seeing a woman owned business with her young daughters at her side to support.

We split a perfect cranberry scone along with hot drinks (coffee and tea). The other baked goods looked tasty too. There are 3 tables for 2 inside and one outside. Becky was friendly and cut our scone in half for us.
