We went to Bodega Bay before Jerry Day. There is a bakery in Freestone called Wild Flour that is one of my top three favorite bakeries in the world. Tartine probably has the best bread (although I have not ever been there to buy it and I think the process would stress/bum me out), Brick Maiden in Point Reyes Station and Wild Flour. You really have to go to Wild Flour, preferably now. It's open Th-Sun 830-430. Why oh why can't we get a world class bakery? Masullo should open one as his background is in baking. I went to Masullo last night and it was just as good as usual. He has a pizza called the liddy right now with mozz, pesto and tomatoes, cooked really lightly to bring out the sweetness and juice. yummerz.
They have a garden out back with picnic tables. Oh no big deal just go pick some lavender and make...a warm rasberry nectarine lavender scone. Pretty much everything they serve is still warm since they are baking right out in the open when you come in (at least in the morning) They serve a daily bread called a fougasse which is loaded with cheese and all kinds of stuff, and then simpler breads like wheat, rye, various seeded breads etc.

Here's what it looks like. Pretty nondescript.
My friend told me there is a great secret bakery in town with Tartine-quality bread. I will get you the info. Maybe they will one day open a place. I will get the scoop.
