Artisian Bread In Carlsbad

Looking for a good bakery in Carlsbad?  I've found one.  It's Praeger Brothers in Carlsbad.  Owned and operated by Clinton and Louie Praeger, born and bred in Carlsbad, it's a real find.  When they opened their business several years ago, their main focus was bread, and it became a big hit.  They began selling at local Farmers' Markets, and can now be found at outdoor markets in Carlsbad, La Jolla, Hillcrest, Little Italy, Vista and Escondido.  Their bread is also available at Jimbo's and Seaside Markets.  Since first opening a few years ago, they have expanded their products and their retail store.

I was there recently and bought delicious soft pretzels (New York style), French baguette, chocolate chip cookie and flatbread with pumpkin seeds.  They have beautiful loaves of wheat, rye and sour dough bread, in addition to croissants and several sweet bakery items.  Prager's retail store is open Monday-Saturday.  They have recently added sandwiches and drinks to their menu of items, so you can go for lunch and buy your baked goods for the week.

Prager Brothers is located just a few blocks from Faraday and El Camino Real, on Palmer St.  You'd never know it was there if someone didn't tell you about it.  You'll be glad you know if it.  The bread and baked goods are just delicious, and who doesn't want to support a local, independent business, that makes such a great product?
