Ca ‘d’ Oro Bakery

I’ve been getting some of their breads at the Santa Monica Farmers Market on Sundays and I have to say it’s on point, correction, on fleek! I grew up in NY and was used to good bread made in the Bronx and sold in bakeries all over the place. Well, just like butchers, you don’t find many stand alone bakeries in this age of tweets, and amazon prime can’t get me a bastone for a nice meat ball parm (actually I haven’t checked, but I’m sticking to my statement). I’ve always heard its because the watah out in CA isn’t right. Well it turns out that’s not true. Ca ‘d’ Oro makes some bomb ass breads. Think nice crust with a thick texture and beyond that a nice soft inside, just like Tom Hardy, beyond that hardened exterior and chiseled pecs is a soft sweet tenderness… Wait where was I?
The pretzel rolls are off the charts. You bring some of those to your next BBQ and slap even a mediocre burg on there and you’ll be the talk of the town. Picture this… Some corncob at that BBQ is rambling off to a bunch of stone cold babes about how his friend, I mean best friend, TOM HANKS is getting a new Tesla, but he’s always wanted an Aston Martin and is getting the DB10. Blah blah blah. Then you walk up with a plate of juicy burgs. As you lower your Maui Jims a bit and jesture the babes towards the burgs, your eyes lock with the most stone cold fox you’ve ever seen. You haven’t felt this magical about the opposite sex since you saw Heather Graham in License to Drive. Your eyes locked only for a moment, but that moment felt like an eternity. You saw your life together, raising kids, growing old, sitting in bath tubs on some dock on a lake (or any other scene from a Viagra ad), watching Matlock and Prince of Bel Air re-​runs in the retirement home, and then you vision all those tasty burgs and sandos made on fresh local bread. But then the music stops, homeboy isn’t about to be outdone, by some burger wielding, commoner. He challenges you to a race, a street race/​death race. You take on this corncobs DB10 in your 1968 Camaro RS/​SS with hideaway headlights (so sexy). As the light turns green, corncob mashes the gas and rockets off. He’s pulling ahead, but as you reach 60 mph, you back off and respect that racing is for tracks and not on the streets, where pedestrians and other motorists may be put in danger. You’re a gentleman, scholar, law biding citizen, and bread connoisseur. Yeah, powerful stuff.
So yeah, If you get a chance and want some good bread check them out. They will improve any sandwich or burg, and they are great just slathered up by them selves. Limitless possibilities, but definitely grab some!

So happy to find good bread in LA! When I first moved here I couldn’t find any good bread. My local Trader Joe’s has a really disappointing selection; Oftentimes, their bread is already stale or has the consistency of styrofoam. I just assumed that LA was not a bread city, that maybe the gluten-​free trend really had taken the city hostage. Instead of going to TJ’s I went to Bob’s market, and it made the world of a difference. That’s where I found fresh loaves of Ca’doro bread — then the smog of LA cleared and sunshine came back into my carb-​filled life.
Edit: This bakery is listed as pricey. Looks like the poster who cracked a tooth may have factored in their dental costs there. Loaves are like $ 2 – 3, not pricey at all.

Great bread. Love the ciabatta, sourdough, and the olive. The olive is so fresh you may even get a pit! its amazing!!!

I purchased a Kalamata Loaf of bread made by Ca d’Oro Bakery. There was a large olive pit in the loaf of bread. The large OLIVE PIT cracked my wisdom tooth. Ca d’Oro Bakery refused to pay my dental bill. They claim that it is natural to find OLIVE PITS in their Kalamata Loaf of bread. To the consumer: Please Beware!
If you have any advice how I can have my dental bills paid, please contact me.

I picked up a $ 3 bag of Ca’d’Oro ciabatta at the new little produce market that shares a parking lot with the Trader Joe’s on Pico in Santa Monica yesterday. For lunch today I toasted one of the rolls and built a sandwich with sundried tomato pesto, fresh mozzarella and some peppered turkey. Oh my goodness! The roll was absolutely perfect in both taste and texture. I am definitely sold on Ca’d’Oro products.
