Proof Bread
699 S Mill Ave #117, Tempe, AZ
Crema's Take
“Proof Bread is a beloved Mill Avenue bakery where serious sourdough craftsmanship meets genuine warmth—regulars rave about the consistent quality of their bread and pastries, which showcase real skill and care in every bite. The cozy indoor tables and leafy outdoor seating create the perfect low-key atmosphere for lingering over coffee and a seasonal pastry, while the thoughtful touch of board games makes it feel less like a transactional stop and more like a welcoming neighborhood gathering spot.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
