First time here. Made corned beef and needed bread. Ran here and was very pleasantly surprised. The store looks old on the outside, but the inside is totally modern. Bought 2 small sourdough rounds for $6. Very sourdough taste. Absolutely delicious. Def will be going back. There are also breakfast pastries.

Sourdough Breads galore, cookies, and pastries! Oh My! Decisions Decisions on the fresh pastries and cookies! Tried them all. So good! The breads are delishes! Offer little butter cups for fresh hot bread. Come in rounds, baguettes, bread loafs, sandwich, rolls, cubed, sliced, and raisen bread. Love this place! Hidden Gem!
Staff are really nice and helpful.

This bakery is a gem! Great sourdough with freshly baked bread daily. I got their sourdough, apple strudel, chocolate croissant, and the toasted sourdough bread for snacks. This is now our go to bakery. Everything is so good and we can't wait to go back again.

There’s no better bread than Raymond sourdough. They always have hot baguettes and they serve little sides of butter that you can purchase so grab it and Delight in that loaf. I always buy two. One that I eat immediately in the car in a second I share. It’s fabulous.

I recently visited Raymond’s Bread Outlet after being introduced to their brown and serve rolls, which were gifted to me. These rolls reminded me of the classic San Francisco sourdough found in the city's best restaurants, particularly in areas like North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf.

Upon arriving, my first impression was the inviting aroma of fresh bread. The shelves weren't fully stocked, possibly due to the timing of our visit since they restock fresh bread hourly. Despite this, I was eager to return for those delicious brown and serve sourdough rolls and to try the mini baguettes (brown and serve) found in the fridge. There were also just baked on the shelf baguettes and raisin bread available, along with bargain bags of Dutch crunch sandwich rolls for just $3.

Initially planning to spend around $20, I ended up spending nearly $50 as my mom also selected some various baguettes. At home, I tried the raisin bread, which was delightful, especially toasted with a bit of butter. The brown and serve rolls were perfect, but I noticed the baguettes had a different crust texture and density, lacking the sourdough flavor I was hoping for. It's best to eat or freeze them quickly for heating later, as the crust hardens fast by end of day.

Most items were priced individually or two for a deal, such as $6. However, I encountered confusion with the checkout process. When reviewing the receipt after I drove away, I noticed discrepancies: for instance, we purchased a $3 bag of Dutch crunch rolls, but the receipt showed three bags instead. Additionally, the baguettes were listed incorrectly on a separate line with a different description, despite being the same item. I don't understand why they don't just ring up everything the same way instead of listing one item that is exactly the same on a different description line. Even though the overall charge was correct, it should be better organized when ringing up items to match what you're purchasing. This mix-up caused unnecessary confusion, making me double-check my total to ensure accurate billing.

Unfortunately, the customer service was lacking. There was no friendly welcoming assistance or guidance when we entered, and the cashier didn’t offer a bag without asking despite our large purchase. Although the total charge was correct, the mismatched line items on the receipt added to the overall disappointing customer service experience.

Overall, the bread quality is good, though I wasn't impressed with the long baguettes. I'll return for the brown and serve sourdough rolls and plan to try the mini baguettes next time. The raisin bread is a must-have, perfect for breakfast.

**The owner is responding asking what location? well my understanding is there’s only one that is baking the bread every hour on the hour and that is the outlet in South San Francisco at 151 S Spruce. This is the one I visited and it seems from other past reviews other people have had the same negative experience with the girls (staff) at the counters not being great at Customer Service.

This a local treasure. I grew up on the peninsula. Raymond's bread was always a special treat. Best sourdough in the bay, imo. Fight me. 😁
