Manresa Bread

Manresa Bread is a new vendor at my workplace and I am so happy to be able to get their baked goods without making a trip to Campbell/Los Gatos and wait in line!Monkey Bread - so delicious! It pulls apart nicely and soft and sweet, and so addicting. Rolled Kouign Amann - Super flakey and buttery delicious. I'd love to try their regular kouign amann one day!

This place always draws me in with its convenient location and charming ambiance, but I leave feeling a little disappointed every time. I really want to love it, but the coffee just doesn't hit the mark. Even with an extra espresso shot, my lattes always taste weak, and for nearly $12 a latte (with milk alternatives and extra espresso), I expect better.Their pastries are gorgeous and tasty, but I've had better elsewhere. That said, I do love browsing their merchandise and grocery section, which has everything from cute clothing to honey, jams, tinned fish, and coffee beans.It's a great place to hang out with friends, and I'll probably keep stopping by for the vibe, but if you're after the best coffee and pastries in town, you might want to look elsewhere.

It's all about supply and demand.I stopped in before noon on a Saturday and there was only one kouign amann left...an XL for a whopping $35 plus a 4% surcharge.Did I bite the bullet? Yes siree! I surely did after hesitating for a quick second.Buttery, caramel-y, and just straight up heavenly. Was it worth the price tag, the calories, and elevated A1Cs? I'd say so. I would love to get my hands on the smaller ones though since this XL that was as big as my head was quite gluttonous for just two of us.

Just look at this avocado toast. No one can make a worse avocado toast than this. Barely any avocado with tons of herbs on top. Flavor is very off and the sourdough is also not good.Not pictured but the ham and cheese croissant was also terrible.

This place is ok. With the name, I just expected more, but it was nothing short of any other café really. We stumbled in closer to closing time (which is pretty early for a Sunday - 3pm?), so that's probably why we ended up with less fresh pastries. Both items we ordered tasted fine; scone was extra dry. The coffee was meh. My hot chocolate was bland and they ran out of syrup so they could not make my original request of peppermint hot chocolate. The person ringing us up forgot one pastry so we had to do an add-on, wasting more of our time bc it was closing soon. I would go back if it was the only café in site, but overall, it was just OK.

Good spot for quick breakfast and coffee in downtown Campbell! I ordered the Almond Escargot, a classic French croissant (used as a measuring stick for my first visit to any cafe/patisserie kind of establishment) and the Monkey Bread Latte with less sugar and decaf. The Escargot was okay, decent amount of almonds, but not particularly stand out either. I found it to be a little dense, hard and crunchy as well. The French croissant was good as well but not competitive with the best ones I've had (from Elroy's in Monterey and Boujour San Diego). Latte was interesting with a hint of cinnamon spice but nothing else really stood out. All in all rather run-of-the-mill and I would have expected better given the Manresa Michelin reputation (I understand it's not exactly the same). I probably wouldn't make the effort to come back again but it's definitely worth a try if you've never been at the very minimum. I will say that this location seems to be pretty clean and well run compared to some of the other Manresa Bread locations such as the one in Palo Alto, so that is definitely a plus. I didn't even want to order at the Palo Alto location after walking in and seeing how sad things looked.

Delicious pastries! Great coffee! I can't wait to go back and try some more baked goods. Nice location in walkable downtown Campbell.

I love this cafe so much! Located in Downtown Campbell, this is a go to spot for me and some friends. The staff is so friendly, the vibe is so relaxing, and it's super clean and bright inside. They have great bread, pastries, food items, and coffee (they serve verve coffee, which is one of my favorites). Also, I recommend the chia seed pudding if you're looking for something light and healthy in the morning. 10/10! This cafe is a must when visiting downtown Campbell!

Usually I'm good with the experiences I've had at MB. However... this instance, I was left a bit unimpressed. I bought a cookie (chocolate chip $5) and a Cappuccino. My gripe was with the Cappuccino. Cost was $6 for an 8 ounce drink. I opted for almond milk which was $1.50 of the $6. Temperature was good. But taste, not so much. Espresso was from Cat & Cloud. I've heard many say good things about C&C, but for me, the espresso lacked flavor. For $6 I would think the drink should be 10 oz. But even then, I don't think it would have helped the taste.

I have no complaints here - it was a short line with plenty of inventory when I stopped by after attending the Campbell Farmers Market around noon. We ordered a couple different pastries, all of which were fantastic. Definitely better than your typical cafe pastries - you can taste the difference in quality, and they have unique options that are hard to find at other places. Seating was hard to find inside, so we took it to go. I want to go back and try more of their items!They serve Verve Coffee here, which I am not a fan of. I can't dock them points just because of my personal preference, but I'll have to stick to the bread/pastries here as Verve is just not for me.
