FKN Bread

We stopped by this bakery right before heading into The Mission. FKN are initials of their sons. I didn’t know what to expect when I walked in. From the outside, I thought it was bigger but it’s a cute tiny little grab and go place. Each of the pastries are on display. Then I noticed this bakery specializes in everything sourdough which is my least favorite bread. We got ham and cheese sourdough croissant and chocolate sourdough croissant. Even though I’m not a fan of sourdough, it wasn’t tastable in the ham and cheese but very noticeable in the dark chocolate croissant. Had the sour salty flavor. It’s a matter of preference and sourdough is just not for me. I also wished they could have offered to heat it up. Instead it was cold and hard. They sell fresh baked loaves and we were told

I just found out that FKN Bread has sourdough croissants and I'm in Heaven! I got the almond croissant and it was so delicious. So flaky and buttery and perfect. I'll definitely be going back here to try their sourdough cinnamon roll. If you love sourdough and live anywhere within driving distance of FKN, be sure to go! But make sure you check the hours bc they are closed on Mon and only open til 4 Tue-Sun

The sourdough baklava pistachio paste croissant ("waSOH", lol) is the best real croissant I've had since Layercake in Irvine, CA before they changed their vendor around 2014. The closest in OC has been Cream Pan in Tustin, CA, but no match for the flaky, crunchy yet soft sound, texture, and taste of the FKN Bread example. It's basically like the one I had in France over 20 years ago. I'm kinda wishing I lived closer so I could have it a little more often! Update: The "regular" sourdough croissant was just as amazing, so it wasn't the flavoring that did it. It's the bread. Very hard to do so many kudos!! Please never change the recipe. If the market ever demands a crappy crescent from you, so be it, but please never take away this absolute ambrosian delicacy from the menu even if you only

visited at 9am on a weekday and had great selection. Grabbed a pastry and since there was no seating, ate at a nearby park 3 min walk away. The sourdough made the pastry slightly dense and not too sweet. I liked it.

Stopped inside for my first visit here. I saw a lot of people nearby walking around carrying their bread bags, and thought it should be good… Ordered the cranberry walnut sourdough bread. The bread tastes delicious! Amazing! This is a cute little shop in the heart of downtown San Juan Capistrano.
