Can you point us to some good real ones?

Manifest was in The Washingtonian June issue for the best sourdough.

Manifest debuted its storefront in 2023 and was an immediate hit with both DC bread lovers and fine-dining restaurants. It recently reopened with a bigger, freshly renovated space, where you’ll find the same faultless sourdough—made with house-milled flour from local grains—that people routinely line up for. Snag a ginger molasses cookie, too.

I like Boulangerie Christophe. There's one in Georgetown, one in Potomac.

Whole Foods has the best.

Our two favorites are Whole Foods and Aldi, which I’m surprised nobody has said yet. The Aldi sliced sourdough is terrific.

There are also bakeries around Bethesda / NW but I just don’t have the time to do special runs for bread.

I love good bread, and have been surprised at how good the WF sourdough is. I also used to like a kind sold at Giant, not Giant brand, it was in the deli section, but they haven’t had it for several years (I find the Giant bakery breads to be terrible - and don’t get me started why none of Giant, WF or Wegmans makes/sells good sandwich rolls).

Must be store-specific. I get Giant sourdough in the deli regularly.

I’m that poster. My Giant also sells their own sourdough- I think it is terrible. I liked another brand of sourdough they sold in the deli section, but no longer sell.

Lidl bakery products are great.

Gross suggestions. Izzio I think is the brand at moms we get. Supposedly it's at Safeway too. Keep it in the freezer take slices out as needed and use butter from butter bell.

Fresh Baguette if you're willing to make an extra stop at a bakery. For a sandwich-type loaf, Alvarado Street Bakery bread which can be purchased at Safeway. You may be surprised at how expensive a nice loaf of sourdough has become.
