FRESH SOURDOUGH Bakery and Café

We moved from our Hawaii home in 2002 and, after living 5 years on the Kenai Peninsula, we must tell everyone about The FRESH SOURDOUGH Bakery and Café! The owners, Kevin & Donna Maltz, are fully committed to focusing on organic habits in their operation from ingredient selections for their menu and bakery items, and cleaning and maintaining their facility, to the unique Ah!LASKA brand of quality organic products they have created which make great gift items as well! They have mastered the art of SUPER CARING SERVICE, with an attentive crew that mirrors their values, in a facility that is cozy and inviting and Certified as a Green Restaurant!

Family and friends visit us every year from Hawaii and the lower 48 and we always include "MUST STOP TO EAT at The Fresh SOURDOUGH Bakery and Café in Homer." It doesn’t matter if we stop for breakfast, lunch OR dinner – the meals they serve are ALWAYS tasty and healthy with huge portions! And ~ just as we do . . . our visitors ALWAYS take a piece of The SOURDOUGH Bakery and Café plus Ah!LASKA with them when they leave! TRY IT – YOU’LL BE GLAD YOU DID!

Traveling frequently, I often look for the most fun places to eat. Sourdough Express exceeded my expectations with delicious food, good for my 12 year old son and friendly service. The sense of history in the community is openly expressed with photo albums showing how the local community has changed over the 26 years the restaurant has been serving good food to locals. Their organic eggs are not to be missed! And the bread is the best we have found outside of Italy. I really like the colorful stainglass and art.

Great Charter Lunches and had a fantastic sea food combo dinner, service was the best, we wish there was a sourdough express in our town. Don't miss this terrific eatery.

“My favorite place in Homer”

Fresh Sourdough Express

I go to Homer Alaska often and always stop in at the Sourdough Express. The staff are so accomodating and the food is excellent. It is organic and mostly local. The seafood is the best. Actually it is all so delicious. Can't wait to visit them again.

Our bear viewing guide recommended Fresh Sourdough Express because it had on-line ordering. We could order on-line well ahead of our trip and it would be ready the morning of our early departure. Too bad it didn't work out that way.

We ordered on-line. There was no place to give a credit card or otherwise secure our order. I figured it was pay when you pick up. On the on-line order form there's a place to put a phone number and we had put my husband's cell number. Cell service is spotty in Alaska and we did not get the message until we arrived in town after they had closed, the night before our bear trip. Their message said we had failed to provide a credit card number so our order would be only partially ready in the morning. I called and left a message on their machine saying to please have it ready because we definitely were counting on it.

Knowing there might be a snaffoo we arrived with 20 minutes extra to get our lunch. Bottom line, nothing was done on our order, it took them more than 20 minutes to prepare it and we were nearly late for our bear trip!

After all that, our food was lousy. Yes it was homemade bread but it tasted like cardboard and was hard. They gave us one pack of mayo and one pack of mustard which didn't nearly wet this very dry, hard sandwich. The cookie was good. No regular soda, funky healthy canned drinks. I need my diet coke!

AND the on-line price for lunch was wrong. Our lunch cost about $3 more per person. By the time we got to the paying part we were so late I just paid and didn't bring out the confirmation papers to prove that the price was too high. It cost $30 for two bad lunches.

The next day we were going on a fishing trip and again needed lunch. The night before we stopped at Subway and got two fabulous, regular old, familiar Subways for $10!
