Sonoma Bakery Cafe

Sour Dough Done Right


Sour dough is one of those breads that is hard to do right. it has to b the right density and texture to make that sourness come through in the right way. I've been a big fan of the sour dough thing since I visited the west coast of America a while back and had some amazing breads out there.

Turns out I'm not the only person who thought the sour dough out there is great. A couple of Aussies have gone out to Sonoma County and come back with the expertise to do it right - and opened a shop in Glebe. And the results are pretty damn impressive. I don't think I've had any sour dough taste this good, anywhere else in Australia. So Sonoma Bakery Cafe is definitely a place you should try out.

If there's one criticism I have of the shop, it's that it's a little too small. But it's one of those shops that could fit right in on the pages of 'Stuff White People Like' and not look out of place. So drive up in your Toyota Prius as you listen to your iPod if you must; just don't miss the sour dough bread!
