Proof Bread - LITCHFIELD PARK

Oh, I love Hope's Artisan Bread! Their coffee is amazing, and their pastries and bread are always so fresh! I highly recommend it! ??

The sourdough bread from here is absolutely fantastic. Wish the loaves were a little bit larger but worth every penny!

I was stationed at Luke for 3 years and this just happened to be close to base and where I lived at the time. Being a bread girly, I went in one day and my wolf was ROCKED. The friendliest staff, the best bread, and the blueberry lemon loaf is to die for. Any of my family that has visited, I take them here. I've since moved, and have often wished I could get some shipped to me because I haven't been able to find a local, family owned bakery that is this good.

So I found Hope's amazing breads back at farmers market where her smile and kind spirit just let you know her bread had to be amazing. You physically could feel the love and then the taste just brought that love home with you. The first time I met Hope I truly felt I made a friend and each loaf I purchased I felt like it was from my family's kitchen just for me. In the worst of times, COVID, she wanted to help people so her and her family set up delivery so everyone was safe and still had breads. Then her sharing the spot in Litchfield to start and finding very quickly she needed the whole space because her following became a huge family. Her amazing breads, bread dipper spice, desserts, pies, oh her bruschetta. Yet I have to tell you it was always her smile and warm hug. Over the past year or year and half you could sense something. A change, you could feel the love had escaped the walls of the amazing place Hope built with her smile and love. I can't imagine how hard this has been for her nor would I ever act like I know. What I hope for Hope is good health again, happiness and to know how very loved she is by many.With that I went today to see Proof who is taking over. I won't say that I was thinking I would find my new bread place again to be honest. I will always have a soft spot for farmers market Hope's. Yet Hope for the first time ever asked her family of customers to give it a try. I walked in and felt love again. Maybe helped a little that Hope was there smiling and being so kind with her time, BUT Jon was there as well. I sampled some of his breads, I talked to him and he was so kind with his time even though running like crazy (and as tired as he looked), you felt his love. For the breads, the customers, the conversation and letting customers know he was there to take care of them. I felt like I found my bread home once again! The bread and croissants are amazing and you feel AND taste the love once again.Now I can only hope him as much success and hope that maybe just one day we will see specials from Hope still.... Just saying it couldn't get much better than that. Cooking classes, anything! We love you Hope and welcome to the West Valley Proof. So excited once again.Tara Holtorf

Purchased the Classic Sourdough round(sliced). I live about 5 minutes away, decided to try this bakery because several Yelp friends shared positive reviews. The person working was happy and helpful. By the time I left 10:30, it was starting to get busy. For lunch I decided to make a club sandwich, the bread was the best part. So fresh and delishes. The loaf is huge and worth every penny. I definitely will be back.
