What a surprise! I went to pick up sourdough bread, appropriate for a large dinner Salad at a vegetarian friends house tonight. They had lovely rolls that were light on density and crunch needless to say I was thrilled.
When I got there, I envisioned I was getting a loaf of French bread, I am from San Francisco. I do understand what sourdough bread is. To my disappointment, everything was sold off the racks. But he had the rolls and he had some focaccia which would’ve been lovely if I was having a pasta or soup dish. he assured me that those rolls will be light and fluffy. So i purchased six of them. And then decided to get the cherry danish that the gentleman in front of me got. And boy what a treat. I want to add that I’ve been there a few times before and with great disappointment missed out on bread missed out on when they were open, etc. but they’ve been well established for several years now and I wanted to try them again. I give them a solid five stars. I give them five stars for listening to me when I said your website says that I can only get bread Between 10 and 1030 as if the rest of the time is just sandwich making and other kinds of delicious items they would have. 10:am is when it comes out of the oven. Today @ 10:25 it was all gone. The gentleman in charge listened to me, he was really nice about it. They said they’d look at the website. I wasn’t a jerk. I was just letting them know about it. And it was a nice interaction with everyone who is on staff there.. The price was fair. Grateful to have a wonderful bakery as Luna bake bakery.

Do yourself a favor and stop by this absolute gem. Pricey but truly the best sourdough pastries I’ve ever had. Dying to come back and try their sandwiches- they look amazing. Make sure to check out their website to see the times that each baked good comes fresh out of the oven for an even tastier experience. It’s a tiny place so there are only a few tables to eat at in store and know that they only have drip coffee. Got the pain au chocolaté and the cardamom bun which was some of the most intense perfect cardamom flavor had in a pastry. Make sure to stop by next time you’re in Yucca Valley!

We spent as much on pastries as we normally would to go to dinner, but happily returned and did it again because everything we tried was FLAWLESS. I think the cinnamon rolls were my favorite, followed by the almond croissant, the cherry pastry, then the cheddar scones. We took their almond butter and jam sandwiches into the national park and enjoyed those very much as well. Textures and flavors were out of this world.

It was a little over $7 for 1 cheese Danish. Absolutely worth every penny. The Danish was flaky and buttery and the cheese was perfectly sweetened…not too much not too little. Thr service was great! The woman behind the counter was happy to answer all of my questions and I never felt rushed even though there was a line. I was inquiring about the pizza dough they had and she actually ended up giving me one to try, free of charge! I have heard that this place does sell out fairly quickly which says a lot! I would absolutely recommend giving Luna Bakery a try if you can.

I was just passing through and thought I’d give it a whirl. Holy smokes, I’m so glad I did. This is world class baking artistry tucked away in a little high desert town. I came to see a show at Pappy and Harriet’s, but you know what? I’d book a room and come back here, from another state, just to indulge myself at this bakery and no other reason. Yeah, it’s that good. If you are a protein lover, have no fear. You can get a king’s portion to compliment your carbs… Just order the smoked salmon sandwich. I also tried the almond croissant, and the sour cherry pastry. 5 stars all the way, baby! The coffee is delicious too.

Got the salmon, cream cheese, dill and capers sandwich and it was delicious. Large portion size and cozy atmosphere. Would happily stop here again.

We have been going to Luna Bakery since they opened and they are amazing. Super friendly staff and delicious pastries, sandwiches and breads. . The coconut macaroons are my favorite but it’s hard not to buy it all!

Overall just an amazing experience. Salmon and cream cheese was phenomenal, a little heavy handed on the cream cheese but still just salty, creamy, delicious. Ham and Brie, again I found a little heavy on the Brie and could probably use a sweet jam or chutney to break up the salt but otherwise it was still great.
Almond croissant was divine. Truly just an example of pastry excellence. The whole outing was a little more expensive than I was expecting for breads and pastries but they use organic ingredients and natural methods to make their food. They’re all extremely happy and great people.

For only serving sourdough you’d think their baking execution would be spot on, but the bread was so hard it cut our mouths up trying to consume the mediocre VERY expensive sandwiches. Sourdough should be crispy on the outside and have that nice fluffiness on the inside. This was hard as a rock and barely had any inner thickness to make up for that. Sandwich combinations weren’t bad, but pretty basic in the creative category. Especially if you’re spending $20 on just a sandwich.
Service and the workers were very unwelcoming. I guess if you don’t smell like weed and incense or have a bunch of star tattoos you’re not cool enough to be treated with friendliness.
We came, we tried, we’ll never go back.
