Our Story

It's a bit awkward to review ones own place, so I wont.

What I can do, is tell you some things about Homegrown and about me that are (to the best of my recollection) true.....

We have been baking bagels pretty much every day in Sonoma since 1978. Providing fresh bagels to the locals and a growing number of visitors and travelers. My head Baker Mr. Antonio (Tony) Peña has been with me for over 40 years and has never missed a single day of work, ever!

He and his crew, Nephew Pepe and along with Jose Luis are the best there are, and are truly committed to producing the best possible bagels every day.

Carina and her sister Karla, along with her kids J.J. and Sami.

All of us are dedicated to getting you the best possible combination of great food with great service.

We were the first Bagel Bakery in Sonoma County, California, U.S.A / N.A, Earth and, I think the second Espresso Machine in town. A lot of things have changed since then but our bagels and commitment to always try our best has not. We take pride in our product and our service. Come in say hello & have a bagel and a shmear and a cupa.
