Five thumbs up This place is a hidden gem They are only open from 10 AM to 2 PM each day. I suggest you get there early because they start running out of things by 1:00 PM As this is a functional wholesale bakery in the back of the building they have a large variety of breads that are extremely fresh that you can use for your sandwich and you can even buy a loaf and take home prices for the loaves of bread are extremely reasonable at about six dollars per love The sandwiches are all one set price at just under $12. You can add avocado, bacon and extra meat for an additional two dollars per item. All the meats are provided by a company called Watson and the meats are I am told all hormone and chemical free You can taste the difference in the freshness and flavor in the sandwich. They are delicious. Every sandwich comes with your choice of a bag of chips The staff is always friendly and helpful But you have to be prepared when you get to the front of the line to make your order and move aside as there’s usually a lot of people there to get a sandwich They make them very quick, usually under three minutes There is air-conditioned seating available on location in the bakery and the hallway leading into it They also have sodas for an additional cost and lots of fresh, bakery goods and cookies, and pastries as well If you want a delicious fresh sandwich, I absolutely recommend this place

LOVE THIS PLACE! All the Employees are so sweet and helpful. I come here often for Lunch for their amazing Sandwiches. The pastries are fantastic always pick some up for the holidays and weekend with the family. Definitely a must try for Breakfast, lunch, or any of their breads and pastries. Keep it up Old town

This place is awesome. I used to stop in at the other chain sandwich place, a few blocks up, for my tuna sandwiches. This is a wonderful alternative that I finally checked out. Especially now that they, Old Town Baking Co., have their own pre-order app as well. I can build a sandwich on the app, drive down, stop in grab it quick and go on my lunch breaks. The people working are always fantastic! and eager to make sure I get everything. Their fresh breads, bagels, pastries, and daily sweets cart are phenomenal as well. I always grab something while waiting the minute or two at the register, because it all looks and smells delicious. This is a great small company making fantastic quality baked goods. A+ I can't fault the owners but the parking is not the best. It's a right turn only street, and large grade going in and out of their rear lot. Love this place, but looking out for new customers, maybe park in an adjacent business and walk down.

It's awesome to be able to order a sandwich from the place that baked the bread. The build your own sandwich form creates the opportunity to customize your sandwich just the way you enjoy it. The meat is plentiful and the produce is fresh. Full loaves and plenty of sweet treats available as well. There are a few tables and chairs to enjoy on site if you prefer, but take out is a great option as well. The driveway leads to the parking lot in the rear of the building. There is an entrance in the back as well as the front.

I'm picky about sandwiches and this place makes them great. Plenty of meat. Lots of optional add-ons, including my favorite alfalfa sprouts which are so hard to find anywhere. The building behind is a production bakery so all of the bread is really fresh and the pastries and cookies are as well. During lunch they get backed up with lots of orders so it's advisable to call ahead or download and use the app. It's very hard to find the parking. You have to be on the same side of the street as the building and go in the driveway right next to the building and drive to the back where there's hardly any parking available.

We frequent their Rancho Cucamonga location. Today, we tried this location. We left with 5 loafs, squaw bread rolls, and a large load of Rosemary Garlic Sourdough. And barely broke $30.00. They make amazing sandwiches also. But get there early for pastries, because they don't restock

Oh my gosh, I’m so surprised. I have not wrote a review here. I love this place. This is the closest one to me since I live in the inland empire but I have family that lives in Rancho so if I’m close by, I will definitely stop by for a sandwich. I just recently realized that you can order online. You don’t have to wait long for pick up because usually during lunch, they’re really busy at least at this one because I know there’s a lot of city workers that work close by San Bernardino. Let me tell you these sandwiches are so delicious. It comes with a bag of chips. They also sell drinks. They sell bread cookies, banana bread, a whole bunch of goodies, but my absolute favorite is the jalapeño cheddar sourdough bread and I probably shouldn’t say this because everyone’s gonna wanna buy it. They have one that’s not sourdough that one’s really good too if they don’t have the sourdough, I’ll just get the regular jalapeño Cheddar. Their bread is so freaking delicious. I know they close early so you have to look at the time, I think they close at 2 o’clock, but it is so delicious. I’m sorry I’m repeating myself over and over again, but this place is so good. You need to stop byand next time I go out take some pictures because usually it’s so good. I just start to eat and I forget about taking a picture. Enjoy. I’m gonna post a picture of my avocado toast. I made at home with my sourdough bread.
