Morell's Bread

Browsing through the farmers market yesterday and came upon their stand. The man was incredibly kind and willing to answer my questions about ingredients (food allergy concerns). Ended up with two loaves of country and have been munching on it last night and this morning. Was raised in the east Bay Area and moved to the Salt Lake valley Utah quite a while ago. Finding sourdough like I grew up with is hard there and I miss it! Was excited to try this. While it isn't incredibly sour it has a nice unique flavor and I'm quite satisfied with it. Thank you!

I stopped here after going to a nearby bakery. Reviewing their website, I was going to get the sourdough bread. But after seeing the dejection, I decided in the sesame loaf.The sesame loaf has a nice nutty flavor due to the sesame seeds. It went well with the Brie I ate it with. I will need to try the sourdough next time to see how it taste.

I wandered in here a couple of months ago. Their door was open because the day was warm, but they were closed. The woman who told me they were closed was very kind. They are on the Carleton side of the building that houses La Noisette, Standard Fare, Third Culture Bakery and probably other places I'm unaware of. I remembered to look up their Yelp reviews a couple of weeks ago and bookmarked it. Today I made a point of stopping by. The two people I saw working were masked and gloved.I was welcomed and a man who may have been the owner came over to help me. There were several types of loaves of bread, ranging from $6.50 to $8.25 each, the most expensive being the rye. Most were 100% whole grains. I think he said they were all sourdough. A couple were 50% whole grains and one of them, generously coated w/ sesame seeds, called to me. I asked about scones and he told me they were pretty much concentrating on baking bread at this point. I bought the bread and cut off a couple of pieces to have w/ our dinner tonight. It was delicious, w/ a softer interior and hard crust. It was perfection. I cut up the rest of the loaf and froze it. It will last us a while, because it was a large loaf and when it's finished I will return, probably for another type, but maybe another w/ sesame seeds.

I plan my Wednesday morning around being able to go to Morell's and pick up at least two loaves to get me through the week. Their sesame loaf is phenomenally sesame-y, with a crumb that's both tender and robust. I'm also a huge fan of their baguette (they call it a tordu) and toasted oat porridge loaf which has a level of moistness that keeps it feeling fresh for days. The staff are also lovely!

Fresh bread and friendly customer service. Newfound spot in Oakland. Love. There are also several other bakeries in the area, but if you're looking for a whole loaf of bread... get it here!

YUM yum yum yum yum yumFresh crunchy sesame-encrusted sourdough baguette buttered up and eaten with hot tea on a rainy morning -- heaven! The people who work here also seem really nice.The hours posted above are incorrect. I dropped by on a Wednesday morning at 9am and it was open for business.

I love Morell's bread. Especially the seedy ones like sunflower and sesame. They use organic ingredients. I only wish that we can get the loaves sliced.

stopped in the bakery on a whim and got a loaf of rye - so dense and delicious, it'll now be a destination instead of a coincidence

This bread is one of a kind. Many wonderful breads are available in the Bay Area, but Morell's something you should not miss--and now, it is the bread I hope to buy when I run out. Beautiful bread, thank you for sharing it with us.

Decided to stop by as my usual place was closed. I got the multigrain ball and really enjoyed its slight sourness and wholesome texture. This is exactly what I was looking for!Will continue to support this business over my usual place! Thank you guys and Happy New Year.
