Amador City · Est. Gold Country
Right here on Old Highway 49, The Diggins has been baking bread the old way — slow-fermented, hand-shaped, and baked to order. From our oven to your table, every loaf tells the story of this place.
Our Story
The Diggins sits where Gold Country meets the everyday — on Old Highway 49 in the heart of Amador City. We're not a chain, not a franchise, and we don't bake in bulk. What we do is simple: make bread that tastes like bread used to taste, stock groceries that your neighbors actually recommend, and keep a door open for anyone who pulls off the highway.
Our ovens fire up before dawn. Our shelves restock by hand. And every customer who walks in gets the same treatment — like they're stopping by a neighbor's kitchen, because that's exactly what this place is.
What We Offer
Sourdough, ciabatta, focaccia, and seasonal loaves — all hand-shaped, slow-fermented, and baked in small batches before sunrise.
Croissants, danishes, pies, and cookies — made from scratch each morning with real butter and honest ingredients.
A curated selection of groceries, pantry staples, and local finds — everything you need without the big-store maze.
Good coffee to pair with your pastry, plus cold drinks and beverages for the drive home or the trail ahead.
Whether you're a lifelong Amador City resident or just passing through Gold Country, The Diggins is your stop for something real.
