Screaming Banshee Bakery

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GO THERE! The bread is really good but Google took us on a hilarious road trip to the middle of nowhere, just dirt roads and no trespassing signs. Go to Bayleaf in Coupeville and buy the bread there. Bonus: they have wine.

My girlfriend and I spent a couple of days on Whidbey Island during a recent vacation.
We had a wonderful lunch at Greenbank Farms. The sandwiches we had were made with a wonderful dark sourdough and flax bread (the rest of the lunch was also great — five stars).
We were told that the bread was made by Screaming Banshee bakery so we tracked down the bread at a local market near Greenbank. We were lucky, the market had received a new delivery that morning. We ordered the dark sourdough with flax again. It had a perfect crust, the bread was very fresh and had a lot of flavour. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it was the best bread I had ever had. Great value as well, the loaf was huge — 800g for $ 5.
I wish there was a way to get there bread in Vancouver, Canada. I would gladly pay double the price for such perfection.

Deep, dark, and haunting, their rustic loaf is the yeasty stuff of dreams, putting most of Seattle’s pale loaves to shame.
The only thing that stands between me and 10 pounds of bread-​weight is a ferry ride.

This is simply the BEST bread ever! I’m not exaggerating. The crust is amazing, and the flavor and texture of the bread is like no other. I love the white Tuscan, but they all taste great. I’m so excited when it’s «bread day» (the day Screaming Banshee delivers to Payless Foods in Freeland and the Star store). It’s wise to pre order — this bread goes fast! The pie café at Greenbank Farms makes sandwiches on this bread, which is where I first discovered it, and those are awesome sandwiches!

Local and delicious. A slice of their rosemary bread toasted with some homemade Whidbey Island blackberry jam while overlooking the sound? Pure bliss.

Simply the best bread ever!!! Crusty crust and very tasty. Terrific toasted or grilled (ie grilled sandwich). No industrialized science experiment ingredients or preservatives. As close to homemade as you will ever get in a store. Whidbey Islanders are very lucky to have this available. Yum.

I love to get Screaming Banshee bread when I am on Whidbey Island. This local bakery has been around for a few years, getting its start selling bread at the South Whidbey farmer’s market. These days you can pick up a loaf of plain white, wheat with flax, seeded, rosemary, greek olive, or rustic at one of the local business that sells this bread – including the Greenbank Farm or Payless Foods in Freeland. This bread is very different from what is offered in most grocery stores, it is very unique and tasty as well as wholesome. My only complaint is that sometimes they go so fast that there will be no more bread at the stores!
