Nestled in the heart of Healdsburg, California, Quail & Condor is a bakery where passion for craft meets a commitment to quality and community. The New York Times recognizes it as one of the nation’s best bakeries. Founded by Melissa Yanc and Sean McGaughey, our mission is simple: to create exceptional baked goods using the finest local and organic ingredients while fostering a warm, welcoming environment, just like it started on our front porch.

Our menu celebrates tradition and innovation, offering everything from long-ferment croissants and tangy sourdough breads to delicate, seasonally inspired pastries and cakes. With a bread program that reflects Melissa’s expertise honed at renowned establishments like Bien Cuit in New York, Gjusta in Los Angeles, and SingleThread in Healdsburg, our creations are both artful and satisfying.  

At Quail & Condor, we embrace sustainability as a core value, striving to minimize waste and reduce our environmental impact. Our close relationships with local farmers and suppliers not only ensure the freshest ingredients but also strengthen the fabric of our community.  

We’re more than a bakery—we’re a place where neighbors become friends, and every visit feels like coming home. Whether you’re savoring a slice of chocolate rye cake or stopping by for your “usual,” we’re here to make your experience memorable. With workshops, events, and collaborations, we aim to connect people through the simple joy of extraordinary baked goods.  

Discover the artistry, flavor, and heart behind Quail & Condor. Each bite tells a story—and we’re honored to share ours with you.
