At Nisi’s, every sourdough loaf, baguette, roll, and pretzel is a testament to tradition and excellence. Under the expert guidance of Ricardo Huerta, Master Baker, we craft our breads using only the highest quality flour and a legendary live yeast starter that has been lovingly nurtured for over a century.

Our starter traces its roots back to the culinary ingenuity of California’s gold miners in 1849, who discovered that the unique Bay Area weather and careful fermentation yielded bread with truly complex flavor characteristics. Honoring this legacy, Ricardo and his team take the extra step of allowing our dough to undergo long fermentation times—a full 20 hours—unlocking deep, nuanced flavors and an irresistible texture.

With every bite, you’ll taste the dedication to quality and tradition that sets Nisi’s sourdough apart.
