Arizmendi Bakery

Arizmendi Bakery specializes in morning pastries, artisan breads and gourmet pizza. We also have focaccia, cookies, cheeses, organic coffee and espresso drinks, housemade granola, local honey and more.

Established in 2000.
Our story goes something like this: Thirty years ago, Berkeley’s now-famous cooperative, the Cheeseboard, opened its doors. In 1997, inspired by their own success, they helped open another bakery based on cooperative principles. Arizmendi Oakland debuted that year on Lakeshore Avenue, named after the Basque labor organizer. The endeavor was a hit, so what next? They decided to open another bakery, this time in San Francisco. Once again the group, along with members of the Oakland store, graciously imparted their knowledge of cooperative business practices and shared secrets of their recipes. In October of 2000, Arizmendi Bakery San Francisco was born. The Cheeseboard’s gift to us has become our gift to the neighborhood. …HOT BAGUETTES! Come get your hot baguettes!
