DBC Artisan Kitchen

DBC Artisan Kitchen is a kitchen that does many things. My favorite activity there is the twice bake sale, or "pop-up" bakery that happens there on every other Thursday. I get the scoop on their events from Facebook. They have been running a bakery for 25 years and their breads, sticky buns, cookies and pastries are excellent. Look em up, find a Thursday and drop in to meet two of the nicest folks and buy a loaf of bread, some jam, or any of they other items they have. You can pre-order through Facebook, or go early for the best selections. To quote Ferris, "I highly recommend it if you have the means..." Great spot.

Absolutely great pop-up bakery.

They have an ever changing, delicious menu.

Indeedy. I don't know how some businesses in this city manage to do it, but some are able to pull off the seemingly impossible: keep a business open in this city AND be good at what they do.

First off, this place is sorta hidden. I live in Vallejo and had no clue that we would always drive by this place without knowing. It's basically tucked inside a small plaza. If you're not careful, you'll drive right past it.

All ninja status aside, they make sandwiches here at the Dillon Bread Company. Really good sandwiches as a matter of fact. That's pretty darn important as, unlike say a Berkeley or an Oakland, there are not many (if at all, now that I think about it) straight up sandwich spots here in Vallejo. Sure, you have your chains like the ever present (and disgusting) Subway's and even a Togo's if you look hard enough, but... those are chains. You will never get something crafted by actual people, as opposed to devised by a corporation. It's not going to taste as fresh either. Anyways, they've got an impressive amount of sandwich options here. Two of my favs are the hot pastrami and a hot turkey sandwich I had there. Sandwiches are made right there, and not in some utilitarian manner either. The bread... I'm not sure if they make themselves? I've never asked, even though this place has the word "Company" at the end of their business name. Regardless, the breads here are wonderful and are not cheap in quality or taste as the chain competitors.

Service here is good too. I'm not sure how/why people are saying they've been met with rude customer service. I've gotten nothing but good service here. Friendly, reliable, and timely as well when it comes to preparation. Prices are also reasonable, considering the quality product you're getting here from a Vallejo-owned business. All in all, this is one of those spots here in the beloved city of mine that I hope never closes it's doors. Hopefully, other businesses can have as much success as they do. One here can only dream. It's a good dream though.

Good home baked goods.
