"Throw a Gen Z bread specialist, cultured butter, and a glob of yecora wheat into a cauldron, stir a few times, and you get Jyan Isaac Bread. The Santa Monica bakery, which is attached to pizzeria Ghisallo in Ocean Park was opened in fall 2021 by an ex-Gjusta baker who honed his craft during the early days of the pandemic. Jyan Isaac offers fresh bread daily, including everything from seeded sourdough loaves and danish rye to fresh baguettes and poppy bagels. But if you can't make it here between 8am and 3pm, Wednesday-Sunday, you can also find most of these phenomenal baked goods at farmer's markets across the city." - Nikko Duren
