The most beautiful city in Poland is home to really tasty sourdough bread. Let’s have a look at where to buy the best sourdough bread in Krakow.
Breaking Bread
To many local sourdough enthusiasts, Breaking Bread bakes the best sourdough bread in Krakow.
Breaking Bread is located in a residential area near Galeria Kazimierz. It’s really just a baking space with a tiny sales counter, so there’s no seating.
The bread is light, with a crispy caramelized crust, and just a tiny bit of rye.
Price: Wheat and rye sourdough costs 14 PLN.
Chleb & More
Chleb & More is a bakery and cafe near Galleria Kazimierz. Recommended for breakfast and brunch.
Some tables for sitting down and laptoping. Quite popular during weekends with nearby residents.
The bread was fantastic, very juicy, not very fermented, and with a relatively thin crust.
Price: Wheat and rye sourdough costs 14 PLN.
Meggido Cafe & Kosher Bakery
The most beautiful cafe and bakery on the list. Located in the heart of Kazimierz, this is one of the best specialty coffee shops in Krakow too.
Meggido serves some of the best coffee in town, including a range of three different batch brew choices.
Prices are fair and the location is spacious and comfortable.
Price: Wheat and rye sourdough costs 16 PLN.
Zaczyn
One of the most lively and delicate bakeries in Krakow, Zaczyn bakes fantastic sourdough bread and offers quite a range of delicious pastries.
The bakery has an open sitting area, and decent coffee selection.
The bread is quite nice and compact, and frankly very similar to the one at Meggido.
Price: A smallish wheat and rye sourdough costs 13 PLN.
Buka
Nice sourdough bakery in a quite accessible location, next to the tram stop.
The bread was quite great, although I felt it was on the salty side. Nice staff, some pastries sold. Can also buy half a bread for half the price.
Price: Wheat sourdough costs 14 PLN.
Massolit Bakes
Massolit started with a second-hand bookstore and has since expanded to a cafe and even a bakery.
At Massolit Bakes you’ll find a decent selection of pastries and some small amount of sourdough bread options. It also serves black filter coffee.
The bread itself was nice but not my favorite sourdough bread in Krakow.
Price: Wheat sourdough costs 14 PLN.
Bread & Spread
Quite popular bakery and sandwich shop located in the old town near not far from the rynek market square. Sells focaccia and pastries and has a tiny terrace.
Frankly, the bread can be a disappointment. The rye & wheat bread was heavy as a brick and felt amateurish.
Price: Wheat sourdough costs 14 PLN. Wheat and rye sourdough costs 16 PLN.
Mikropiekarnia Pochlebstwo
Pochlebstwo is one of the best sourdough bakeries in Krakow, located in the vicinity of Kraków Zabłocie train station and the Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory.
Price range: 16-18 PLN
Nasz Chleb
Very popular sourdough bakery in the Western part of Krakow, towards the Bronowice area.
