History

Established in 1923.

The French American Bakery - the original bakery - was built at 421 West Avenue (now Healdsburg Avenue) next door to the current Costeaux French Bakery site. In 1981 Costeaux French Bakery was purchased by Karl Seppi, a former golf professional, and his first generation Italian wife, Nancy. The prior owner Jean Costeaux, taught Karl the art of bread baking emphasizing sourdough. This first year, the bakery won the only gold medal given for bread at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair. Ever since, the Seppis have come home with armloads of ribbons and medals. Today, the bakery café serves full service breakfast and lunch daily, offers catering and distributes its baked goods throughout the NorthBay. The company has an in-store bakery in Big Johns Market in Healdsburg as well.
