OUR STORIES
Fort Bragg Bakery
Best known for sourdough and French baguettes, the Bakery also churns out everything from rye loaves to breadcrumbs.
At 3:30 a.m., while most of Fort Bragg still dreams, the lights at Fort Bragg Bakery, located on Franklin Street in the literal center of town, flicker on. Owned by Tricia and Chris Kump since 1999 with head baker Misa since 2009, Fort Bragg Bakery sells only commercially and so is not open to the public, unfortunately for the public! However, you can find the bread at local markets and restaurants and get your fix that way.
Bragg’s Daily Bread
The building holds a large and beautiful brick oven dating back to the 1920’s, fashioned from bricks that were used as ballast on the boats returning to Fort Bragg from San Francisco after dropping their loads of redwood logs.
Best known for sourdough and French baguettes, the Bakery also churns out everything from rye loaves to breadcrumbs. The rich and mouthwatering aroma of baking bread permeates the air in the mornings on Franklin Street and you will so want to enter the business for some freshly baked bread, but you will find the door only cracked for ventilation, and a chain lock in place. But the windows always have a fun display, and if you peek in you will see there is a bustle of activity inside with Misa at the helm.
