Mother Dough Bakery

Cute bakery! The atmosphere drew me in and I like the location in the Mill District. The space is really big and there's a cozy fireplace upstairs. Service was solid, too.I tried a lemon loaf and a miel; the miel was good, but I wouldn't order that lemon loaf again, since it was tiny and fairly dry.Everything else about Mother Dough encourages me to come back and try different treats, though!Metered street parking in the area.

I took my friends on a field trip down the street from the hotel. They wanted to go check out some bakeries and I said there's one down the street. The glass is decorated with colors of gold like writings, which was very cool. Once inside was beautiful. Look at the ceiling! They offer pastries, desserts, coffee, tea, and wine. Anything to get your morning started. The dining area is upstairs just some ways down from the pastry counter.

Charming French bakery café with a relaxed atmosphere. Extensive variety of breakfast pastries and beverages. The server was incredibly kind and courteous.

I was excited to walk down to this new location for lunch! It did not disappoint! I had the daily quiche with olives, cheese, ham, and other veggies - amazing!!! It came with a side of greens that I loved! I also had a Chai. It was perfectly sweet and spiced, but WAY too hot haha. I didn't get a sweet treat this time but they all looked amazing. My co-worker said the vegan chocolate cake was the best she'd ever ever had. The staff was friendly and fairly quick. The vibes were so cute and great for breakfast or lunch. Seating for 20 or so. Prices were reasonable but not low by any means. That's probably the only thing that will keep me from going weekly haha. But definitely worth the visit!

It's very cute inside, French Parisian vibe. There is outdoor seating as well with heaters. It is a walk up and order so easy grab and go options. The chocolates and truffles looked tasty so we will probably try that next time. The Miel was excellent, not too sweet and good coffee flavor. We loved the chocolate croissant which tasted fresh. The down side was the chicken baguette sandwich. The chicken was dry, not a lot of flavor, and the baguette was very chewy. We ordered it along with our other food items and were given a table number, assuming that the sandwich would be brought to us. But the baguette was just from the display counter and seemed like it had been sitting out for a while.

We have been walking past this new location for three weeks, wondering when it would open. So we were very excited when we saw it was finally open. It's a very cute space, with a nice patio outside and beautiful tiled walls inside. Service was good. It seems they are trying to do a French thing, with imported Parisian chocolates and macarons, so this should be something we would love, but we were not wowed. Prices were above average and the croissant was nothing to write home about, like your typical soft chewy American croissant. And the baguette was also not what we would expect from a place trying to do French pastries. While perfectly edible, it didn't have the crust or crumb we expect from a true baguette. More like a grocery store bakery. It's convenient to our work, so we may be back to try other things, but this first venture was definitely mediocre at best.
