House of Bread

We ordered out for a birthday lunch and all the orders were correct and delicious! I had the HOB full sandwich with chips and a side of green chile and guacamole. My sides were really good on this order but the sandwich was perfect all by itself. That bread was phenomenal. I don’t usually get white bread, let’s be honest you can’t find a bread that doesn’t send your taste buds to heaven in this place. I kept taking another bite trying to figure out what was in the dough… Another meal over eaten and very pleased.

This was our last stop before heading home and proudly picked up my weight in baked goods. Seriously. My luggage was noticeably heavier after loading in my precious finds.
They have everything here: aromatic glazed lemon bread, nutty raisin filled zucchini bread that also comes in chocolate form, lemon squares, 3 lb brownies (but seriously though) blueberry bread, an assortment of cookies and that’s just what I purchased.
Their walls were lined with all sorts of savory breads and discounted goods from the day prior. They also had home made granolas, cinnamon rolls, and jams.
The best thing was the guy behind the counter was more than willing to give us monster sized samples so we could pick and choose what we wanted to take home.

What is it about bread that is so nourishing, almost therapeutic? Fresh, hot loaves salty, crunchy, chewy, sweet and nutty. House of Bread knows and they deliver what you need from green chile cheese bread to sweet cakes for the holidays. You will want to indulge in a sandwich on freshly sliced sourdough or ask for a sample of their daily offerings at the open counter. Slather some butter on and enjoy!

Absolutely love this place. I have a hard time getting my bread anywhere else. The man who works this place is very nice and he really knows how to make a killer sourdough. I had a friend stay with me for two weeks that had gluten problems and house of bread had options that were actually delicious. I don’t know if any of you have tasted the commercial gluten free bread, but it’s not good. I don’t know why this place isn’t packed every day. It’s such a gem.

I love, love this place! Every time I have stopped by the store I am greeted
warmly. I get great service and they are so patient while I try to decide what
breads I am going to take home. The owner is also so friendly and helpful
when I see him.

Simply very good breads, service that likes the customer, and free samples!
Love them. Keep them busy. LOL!

Horrible service! Guy behind counter extremely rude! I like to support local businesses but this is why so many fail poor customer service!

Absolutely enjoyed the bread and service that I received from this location. I had the opportunity to be greeted and assisted by Alex who was very awesome. Will definitely be returning to this clean and warm establishment that provides great tasting and healthy options.

The bread just isn’t good and that’s bad for a bakery. Baguettes were flimsy and rubbery.

Are you the person who scrolls straight to the bad reviews first? I sure am. I thought about making a joke about my name being «Christian» and how insulted i was about the LA guy’s comments, but when i read a review and they’re an obvious DB, i can’t give them that much credit. dude, go back to LA, stay there. thanks~
So, if i want thai food, I go to a thai place, if i want pizza, i go to farina, if i want bread (and especially lemon loaf!), I go to House of Bread. Disclaimer, I’m friends with the original House of Bread owner in SLO, California. fell in love with their stuff, so happy to enjoy it here.
Lemon loaf/​bread is just amazing. Cookie’s are solid, lemon bar is great, muffins are pretty good.
now, lets get to where HoB shines. Breakfast: Apple Cinnamon swirl makes basically the best french toast ever. Lemon loaf with coffee? yep, taste bud bonanza! Cinn/​Raisin/​Walnut into toast? umm, is there a cloud above cloud9? can’t go wrong with the cinn rolls either, heated w/​a little butter? yes please~
long story short, you want bread/​cinn roll/​lemon cake/​etc, go here. you want something else, go somewhere else. I love when i see «gripey» reviews about something OTHER THAN THE BREAD. hey folks, you came to the house of BREAD. as mr foxworthy says, «Here’s your sign.»

I like the idea of getting fresh baked bread. Each item I have eaten from here has a homemade touch to it.
Every time i get my nails done next door I always have to stop by and take something home.
I would def suggest to check out their website if you have a bread you want in mind because they make specific breads only some days out of the week.
Oh and by the way, I had their turkey sandwich and it was great on rice bread.
I’ve just made myself hungry!

The bakery business is not what it used to be, which is why I’m glad I found House of Bread. Their items are definitely homemade, unlike the items in grocery store bakeries. I’ve been looking for ciabatta bread and, lo and behold, it’s fresh at the House of Bread (if a little bland — perhaps more barley flour?). I also bought a cheesecake brownie which was good, but perhaps not worth the calories for me.
The winner was the pumpkin quick bread with chocolate chips. It was absolutely heavenly. Delightful. I went searching for banana nut bread, which I’m told sells out very quickly, so I will definitely return on banana nut bread day.
I’ve tried making my own breads and it’s a lot of work; plus, mine don’t turn out well. Now I can stop trying to be a baker and just visit the House of Bread. It’s not a fancy place, but it is the definition of fresh.

I love this place. One of the few places in town that makes challah bread! The challah tastes just like my favorite Jewish deli in Chicago

I’m giving an extra star. I wasn’t expecting it, but after nursing that sweet loaf of nine grain all week, I just might be a fan of this place after all.

came in the other day for lunch and ordered the lunch combo with the ½ western sandwich and the spinach salad with basil dressing as reccommended by the girl at the counter. Unfortunately they were actually out of the basil dressing, so I got the olive oil dressing instead. First, the sandwich and salad both had extremely fresh ingredients. The spinach salad has bright green slices of avocado. Overall, I appreciate House of Bread greatly for their quality produce. The sandwich itself was pretty good and I had it on the 9-​grain bread. The horseradish sauce provided a needed kick of flavor.
Now. beyond the basil dressing issue, I have another issue in that the combo lunch I ordered was not complete. It was never mentioned to me that I got a choice of chips or a cookie with my meal as well. Being that House of Bread is a bakery. I would have liked to have gotten all the elements I paid for and had another opportunity to sample their baking. With this said, it makes me wonder how often this happens. Sad.
I’ll go back again and try it, hopefully next time I’ll get all of what I’ve paid for, but I’m sure that now that I know about all the items that come in the lunch combo, I won’t forget.

I went there to grab rolls for our Thanksgiving dinner and they were amazing! They were a little pricey… $ 7 for 12 rolls. They were hearty and fresh. Everyone really enjoyed them especially the prairie rolls. I have never tried their food just their bread. I was surprised to read their reviews on their food. Maybe they should stick to bread?

A horrible place with a creepy «Christian» vibe. The food is generally unhealthy, and the term «organic» has never been associated with a single menu item. Both the employees and the clientele have a puffy, pasty sense of resignation about them. The place is staffed by a mixture of depressed retirees and the occasional undocumented kitchen worker. The low-​quality food is flavorless and carbohydrate-​heavy and prepared neither with pride nor competence. (Think Arby’s Market Fresh Sandwiches that have been sitting [uncovered] in a broken refrigerator for two weeks.)
On one of my first visits, i sat quietly, minding my own business when one of the owners tottered over and asked me if i would like to join her and her friends at «the Jesus Table» for free coffee and «fellowshipping,» whatever that is I politely declined, and watched the old woman’s demeanor go from chipper to frosty. She waddled back to her Christian friends, all of whom shot me evil looks until I left.
Unless you are an elderly Lutheran widow with no taste buds left, and weary of the fare at Perkins, you should steer clear of this florescent horror show with its mismatched plates, gleaned from the shelves of the local Goodwill shop.. It’s overpriced and bland and cheap. HOSPITAL FOOD is better than the pablum served at House Of Usher… whoops, I meant «Bread,» sorry…

Everything here is just lovely! Also the good news is that Carbs DO NOT count here! (or is it that you shouldn’t?) even the restroom has that wonderful scent of bread baking!

i really wanted to like this place more than I did. First off, though, we made a point of going on a day that, according to their website, they would have spelt bread. Needless to say, we were pretty disappointed to find they didn’t have any and, in fact. hadn’t made any that day at all. We did by a loaf of something — I don’t recall what it was but it was good, we ate all of it at home. Sandwiches were hit and miss. My vegetarian boyfriend enjoyed his, I only ate half of my California Fusion and even then felt a little nauseous the rest of the day.

Solidly mediocre. Went with a friend who had a gift certificate, I had a veg sandwich, she had a grilled turkey and green chile stew. Problem number one: if you are going to start a restaurant in NM and serve green chile, it had better not taste like old bell peppers. Which it did on my sandwich, and in the stew. Eew. Given that it is a «House of Bread», I expected the bread to be better. Mine was light and kind of spongy, not great for holding together a sandwich.
Service, not great. I asked how large a sandwich was, never having had their food before… I got a blank stare and the reply «it’s the size of 2 pieces of bread». Um. Thanks.
Décor– pretty bad. Think trailer park grandma. Weird ugly art and sickly yellow paint. Mismatched plastic dishes with awkward prints, etc.
I don’t recommend.
