Sea Wolf Bakers

"This bakery from brothers Jesse and Kit Schumann has been anchoring Stone Way since 2014 and is one of the most reliable bakeries in the city. The sourdough baguettes are crunchy, chewy perfection; the cinnamon rolls are huge but flaky-light; the croissants are wildly inventive (as we type this, the savory croissant has delicata squash, caramelized onion, Gruyere, and pepitas). The secret here is that on weekday afternoons they serve pizza by the slice that is immensely satisfying lunch option." - Harry Cheadle

"This Fremont bakery at the bottom of Stone Way is almost always packed. What are people getting here? They might be taking home the big, crusty, chewy-and-flavorful-on-the-inside sourdough loaves, or the seasonal croissants. Or they might be exploring the marvel that is the cinnamon roll here — they’re massive, but made of surprisingly delicate pastry. You can even have lunch here: Not all the pizza toppings are worth it, but the verde-and-cheese slices are a welcome savory meal." - Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle

"When: Monday All Day, Tuesday-Thursday, 4-6pm The Deal: $8 Aperitifs, $11 House Wine, Discounted Snacks Baker's long, narrow bar makes for a cozy HQ on a brisk evening, especially when you can drink an $8 aperitif alongside a $10 charcuterie board." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente

"Sometimes you need a morning pick-me-up, but the bread and pastries at Sea Wolf really act more like a morning pick-me-up-and-throw-me-across-the-galaxy-so-I-can-be-among-the-stars. This bakery specializes in various types of outstanding sourdoughs, from crusty white bread to rye infused with coffee and caraway. The best thing here, however, is their chocolate chip cookie. The way Sea Wolf balances nutty brown butter, dark chocolate, oats, and a heavy hand of sea salt makes us want to host a cookie convention and invite them as keynote speakers. A flaky croissant for breakfast is pretty much mandatory, but you’ll want a lye roll or hunk of olive-dotted focaccia to snack on later." - aimee rizzo

"This little spot on Sunset Hill serves some of our favorite cocktails in the city, along with snacks like lavender sugar Spanish almonds, cheese and meat plates, and sandwiches. Their beautiful garden pergola now has a roof cover, and lots of heaters you can nurse your drink near." - aimee rizzo
