5 stars. Google reviews.
Several different flavors of bread each day they are open. Tuesday through Friday.
Asian-Americans especially like the challah, which is soft and similar to Asian breads.
Many flavors of breads are ready by 10am, but if you want chocolate bread specifically you may want to go later.
Peaceful, sunny location. Outdoor tables available. Free and easy parking.
Although there are many excellent Asian bakeries in town (85 degrees Bakeries) I find I prefer their bread. I don't what their magic is. But it's not a chain, so maybe everything is made with more care.
I think one factor is that you can get it fresh in the morning, not after it's been sitting around.
I also find that going to a bakery where you talk with the owner is so much better than a chain.
It's an open kitchen, which means you can see them put the bread in, and take it out. Smell the fresh bread.

They sell pizza only on Wednesdays from 5pm to 8pm, or until sold out.
They also sell granola, cheese, beverages in addition to coffee, breads and pastries.
They are hiring.
