Breadsmith

Really good bread and pastries. I highly recommend their pumpkin chocolate chip muffins and apple pie bread. Their ginger cookies are also fantastic.

I have to come here every Christmas for Dolci Cello (caramel corn puffs, but oh so much more). It is heaven in a bag and I look forward to it every year :)
They have lots of bread choices and staff are friendly and helpful. I just picked up a loaf of Brioche for Christmas morning french toast (can you tell, I’m a touch obsessed with the holidays?!). They conveniently put freezing and baking instructions on their items. I also picked up some small flatbreads that looked delish.
It IS a little pricey and the shop is a little small. It’s also a bit out there for me location-​wise, but it is worth the travel.
This is a must stop for carb-​loving St. Louisans! Check it out next time you are in the Rock Hill area.

I love you, darling Breadsmith. I really do. I miss you soooo much. I came here last week to buy snacks for my move to L.A. Totally worth every darn penny. The crostini was delish! The Dolci Cello was splendid. The chocolate chip scone was heavenly. Alas, I wish there was a location near my new home.

Came here at suggestion of a friend who really loves it. Not bad. But I wasn’t really floored. I think I like Pint Size bakery better, but ah well. This place has some good stuff too. The morning glory muffin sounded like something I would not normally order but I tried one at her suggestion. It was pretty good, but I could barely eat ¼th of it b/​c it was sooo filling! @__@; I saved the rest for later. Also I feel like I might get an IBS attack from all the veggie shavings in it. It’s really like eating a carrot cake only muffin shaped and with some fruit too.
I kind of just wanted a regular ol’ choco chip muffin but they didn’t have those. The kind they had had orange in it which I really don’t care for with chocolate, so I ended up getting a scone instead. Not bad! The chocolate chips they use are really dark, so plan on a glass of milk if you don’t like bitter stuff.
Their bread is phenomenal though. I sampled some of the rosemary bread while I was there, and I took home a baguette and some brioche too since I have a guest coming over tomorrow, figured I’d splurge a little. I plan to make French Toast out of the Brioche once it gets kinda stale.
Also got some coffee here for a friend, and some of the caramel popcorn puff thingies which aren’t bad but were kinda greasy so I don’t think I’d get them again. I feel like the prices here were a little bit on the high side, but maybe it’s in my head b/​c I bought so much. I ended up spending like $ 35 total.
All in all, not a bad place, but too far of a drive for me to return anytime soon. I’d probably sooner drive to Pint Size due to its proximity to Knitorous, lol! Yarn and baked goods, aw yea.

While the staff was not rude, per se, they were unhelpful and not very welcoming. None of the muffins or scones were labeled. The girls ordered apple cinnamon muffins which were too sweet for them to finish even half. (Whaaa???) I ordered a bagel and cream cheese which was put into a bag, unsliced. Our plan was to eat inside, but after asking them to slice my bagel they did not offer a plate, knife, or napkin. A very disappointing first visit. My everything bagel was yummy.

This place is a nice little bread, soup and coffee shop. The bread is pricey, but it is preservative free and about as fresh as it gets.
The soup is a bit overpriced… and it’s nothing too special, but it is home made and piping hot when it comes out.
Overall I would buy bread from here occasionally, but the cost is just a bit too rich for my blood.

Bottom Line:
Good to almost great bread ranging from typical to high prices.
Overview:
I have been here before for lunch and was not all that impressed. Although they offer lunch, it was memorable in a sorta bad way. That said, the bread is worth coming in for. I suggest the nut (not sure what kind), raisin bread. Goes great with almond butter, bananas, and some orange, ginger marmalade.
My only gripe is that I like a bread with a crisp or hard crust, and this place has yet to show me a loaf that does.

I’m kind of in love with you, Breadsmith. Let me tell you why…
The workers here are SUPER friendly and helpful. It was my first time at Breadsmith (thank you, Groupon!), so I didn’t really know what to expect. I knew I wanted some tasty sandwich bread as well as bread for french toast. The guy helped me pick out bread which would be appropriate, and he even sliced it for me!
They also had a delicious looking cinnamon walnut coffee cake that I couldn’t pass up – and I’m glad I didn’t! It was wonderful! I may or may not have eaten half of it in one day. Oops!
Prices seemed pretty reasonable for freshly baked bread. And the bread was SO. GOOD. Very dense and chewy. So yummy.
They sent me home with some literature on the different breads they offer throughout the year, as well as storage and preparation tips. Nice touch!
It’s kind of out of the way, but I know I’ll be back.

Despite this fact that this place is a chain… i really love it. I stopped here one morning in need of coffee. This place is right next to a Starbucks, but i just wanted a cheap cup o joe… nothing fancy. In addition to all the breads, they have some great morning pastries. I did not want to eat something very calorie laden so the man behind the counter suggested a raisen walnut roll, which he ran through the slicer for me. It was really tasty. I have also bought several loaves of bread here, each one has been great. The workes are really friendly and actually seem to know alot about the bread they bake. I recommend this place if you in this neck of the woods.
