Nightingale is a small, artisan bread bakery in Forestville, CA. Our focus is handmade, organic breads baked in a wood-fired oven. We are a supportive team of dedicated bakers, working hard to make the best product possible, while having fun and enjoying our craft. 

The bakery utilizes a 6 ft x 8ft wood-fired oven based on the designs of Allen Scott. We bake a majority of naturally leavened loaves, as well as french baguettes, focaccia, and a few other specialty loaves. We also do teacakes with rotating seasonal flavors, cinnamon rolls on Saturdays and scones on Sundays. We are small, but we have a diverse variety of products that we vary depending on seasonality. There are many opportunities to practice creativity and to come up with new and fun ideas.
