Love this bakery. Best bread around… yum crispy sandwich bread, double yum challa! The almond croissants are my personal favorite. The marionberry pie is delicious. They are the only place around with such a unique and fun owner; he always has a joke and some interesting fact to share! This place is a Walla Walla institution.

Fabulous! Cakes are to die for! I have purchased 5 cakes from here in the last year! Love love love! Number favorite cake: strawberry champagne with whipped cream cheese frosting and white chocolate shavings!

John got me through college. As a homesick student at Whitman, my first birthday cake delivered from his place gave me a taste of home and made me the hit of the dorm. After that first year, a cake from him became expected for every birthday. I may be in another state and 15 years down the road, but I still remember how tasty and moist his cakes were. The frostings were always amazing and covered with delicious chocolate shavings. John, thanks for all the great memories. Do you do wedding cakes? And ship to California?

Yes, John’s is still run by John, he is at the counter often and his bakers help him. I just purchased 100% fresh ground whole wheat. It is the sweetest bread you could every want, it was ground the day it was baked, so from wheat to table in a few hours. It tastes different from the stuff they make in supermarket suppliers in Spokane or Abilene or New York City. You are smart enough to not live in those places, so why buy your bread from there? Another bakery in this town has interesting looking breads, but inside they are raised with too much yeast or too quickly so they are full of holes. John’s Whole Wheat and Olive Sour Dough(a very sweet sour) don’t do that. Slower rise, no holes in bread. So there you have my favorites.

My husband spent a lot of his childhood summers in Milton-Freewater, OR — about ten minutes from Walla Walla. He grew up eating John’s sandwich bread, not to mention his grandparents still have the house readily stocked with his breads. We were in town for a weekend and made it a point to go to the bakery to bring home a couple loaves to stick in our freezer back home in Wyoming. John himself was there, with lots of amazing breads, pastries, and other goodies. If I were a local, this would be the only place in my book to buy breads. They add no preservatives, sweeteners, or oils and have healthy options like sprouted grains. The price is right, too!

Awesome small town bakery. They make some great sandwich bread, and I’ve started making this a regular part of my grocery runs. The bread is competitively priced with some of the nicer whole grain breads in the grocery store, and even better on the discount table.

If you want fabulous pastries and breads, this is a great bakery. There is a huge variety of delicious scones, muffins, cookies, danish, etc. chock full of yummy goodness. The very friendly staff seems to have endless patience for explaining what is in everything. Get there early for the widest selection. We also love the challah, cinnamon raisin bread and multi grain bread. The others(and there are many) look good too. There are discount areas for breads not baked that day. We have bought cinnamon raisin bread from the day old when it was sold out of fresh and it was still terrific. If you have time, and it isn’t busy, you may have the chance to chat with John about how things are made. The commercial location on Isaacs is not the draw, but well worth finding. Take your purchases home or to a nearby park to enjoy.

Very wide open bakery. Not too aesthetically pleasing, but you get the idea that they bake a lot. There are pastries(soo many scones! peach, blueberry, cinnamon, chocolate chip, blackberry, etc. too many to remember) and cookies and croissants. They have quite a few normal sandwich type breads — their 8-grain is delicious toasted! and they have a fair share of artisan breads. John’s Wheatland supplies a lot of the bread offered at other cafes(like Stone Soup) for sandwiches and such. You can find day-old products 10% off and 2-day old products 50% off. The day old breads are alright, but I feel like 2-day old is pushing it… even if it’s 50% off.

This is an amazing bakery on par with the best restaurants in WW(Saffron, Whitehouse Crawford et al.). The breads are delicious and they also have an amazing selection of pastries, pies, cakes, cookies and other scrumptious treats. Their Crispy Sandwich Bread is absolutely perfect with mayo, sliced WW sweet onion and sliced vine ripened tomato. Simple and delicious. Highly recommended.
