Ad Astra Bread Co

For all the Santa Cruz bread heads out there, you no longer have to go all the way to Monterey for Ad Astra's delicious naturally leavened sourdough!

Come on over to Santa Cruz| Grocery | Butcher | Wine | Produce | Cheese and find us in the bread aisle. They have our fresh Seaside, Olive and Seeded sourdough loaves, baguettes and more!

They also have a really nice selection of cheeses, meats and spreads for you to put on the bread (we're just sayin').

Starting tomorrow we'll be extending our hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for the Summer! We'll stay open until 6pm for the weekends and have an expanded savory menu.

Enjoy some new flatbreads, a pulled pork sandwich, hotdog, BLT and sides.

See you at the shop!

Hello, Santa Cruz!

We'll be at Santa Cruz| Grocery | Butcher | Wine | Produce | Cheese today from 12-2pm. Free samples and loaves for sale!

We're excited to have our bread in the Santa Cruz locals' favorite specialty and gourmet grocery store.

Come on over to the corner of Soquel and Branciforte and say hi!

We got new Baker Cat hats in the shop!
Now in a khaki color lightweight corduroy with round brim and black cat. A trail of floury paw prints embroidered on the side and "Ad Astra Bread Co." on the back.

Bonus photo of our model hitting the Willem DaFoe pose. Obviously the best pose for advertising a hat.

Hi everyone. This isn't our usual type of post, but this is extremely important and we'd like to keep everyone updated.

Chef Ron Mendoza and Alaina Musich recently welcomed a baby girl, Lula Cruz Mendoza, into the world.

Everyone is okay now, but the birth had complications which required emergency medical care. As we all know, any length of time staying in a hospital can result in a substantial medical bill.

Ron and Alaina are pillars of our community, nurturing young chefs and musicians alike. They have a passion for helping others to learn and grow and show their support without asking for anything in return.

If you are able, we humbly ask you to consider donating to the campaign to ease the burden of their medical expenses. Every donation, even if it's just a few dollars, will make a huge difference.

The GoFundMe link is in our bio.
To everyone who has donated, we are extremely grateful.

We'd like to give a special thank you to TJ and Avery and all of our friends over at for their love and support.

From everyone at Ad Astra Bread Co. and Ad Astra Atelier, thank you!
